I'm still laughing that the thing my friends and I were most excited about during the whole con weekend was finding the acai bowl vendor and eating fresh fruit at a con. 😂

I run At Con Salon where attendees can get on the spot wig styling services at an affordable rate! If you'd like to have At Con Salon at a Con near you, let your local con know, or if you want me at your event, email me at [email protected]

Was I just at a con last weekend? Yes. Will I be at a different con this weekend? Also yes. I will be surviving on Extreme sport beans for the foreseeable future. Come say hi in Vegas!

Work has kept me way too busy so I smushed my two favorite things together to cope 🧡💜 #shadowgast + ⚫️🔸⚪️ #witchhatatelier

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post but after seeing posts they have echoed my experience over the years as well as reading responses from the ‘Experiences of Trans Cosplayers Survey’ I decided I wanted to share this. #cosplay #transgender #trans #cosplayer #topsurgery

normalize seeing a media property you actively dislike and going “eh, isn’t for me, hope the fans are having fun” and muting the series name

I binged all 12 episodes and here are all my thoughts, I left things vague to avoid spoilers for those who haven't read the books, and if you have, watch it with an open mind, they did make some changes that still make for an interesting story even with the deviations from the books! Overall 8/10

A third of the way through! I forgot to state that I'm intentionally keeping things vague for potential watchers and readers!

I JUST LEARNED MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES GOT MADE INTO AN ANIME THE VISUALS ARE STUNNING NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE AUTHOR IS AN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DO I HAVE FAITH STAY TUNED FOR MY THOUGHTS

Still need to make the bandana then this outfit will be off to a new home! #cosplay #upcycling #sewing #labubu #labubuthemonsters

Reviving that Merida wig kinda makes me miss when I cosplayed her 😩 My own wig for her needs some serious TLC and unfortunately that dress was sacrificed for it's pattern and then lost to a move 😭 #cosplay #cosplayer #disney #disneycosplay #brave #merida #disneyprincess

"The Ballet Class" (princess tutu edition) #Art #PrincessTutu

Toph Beifong Bun Tutorial! I wear mine pinned over a Epic Cosplay Chronos wig and just tuck the excess into the bun. It's the same wig I originally used when I first made the cosplay years ago! #cosplay #tutorial #wig #wigtutorial #wigstyling #cosplaytutorial

Posting some emotional support Jester pic, I love this one in particular, most of the time I just feel cute, but this is a pic where I feel powerful! Cosplay made by me! 📸: @joeldcastrophotography Character belongs to @laurabaileyvo.bsky.social #cosplay #criticalrole #mightynein #jesterlavorre

Finished a resetting commission! I love resetting wigs and offer: -Full reset (wash, comb out, & back to straight) -Reforming curls -Dematting wigs I love being able to save a wig from being trashed and giving them a second chance at life! #cosplay #wig #cosplaywig #wigcommission #disney #merida

I'm almost entirely unaffected by the major pattern companies going under because they don't make patterns in my size. As a plus sized cosplayer, heres where I get my patterns:

"The world is a lot bigger than your cemetery." Caduceus made by @rennacosplay.bsky.social Caduceus worn by @tealeafcosplay.bsky.social Jester made & worn by me! 📸: Joel D Castro Photography #cosplay #cosplayer #criticalrole #mightynein #jesterlavorre #caduceusclay

Not me trying to bribe my self that if I finish two elements for the cosplay with a deadline, I can then start the cosplay I had ZERO plans for and nearly all the materials already on hand.

I'm so happy to have a new Jester Lavorre to wear!! Tried out the 1780s stays pattern from Clockwork Faerie & only mods I made was lengthening a bit & fully boning the stomacher, wore them all day and it was so comfy! Def will be using this pattern again! Cosplay made by me! #criticalrole #cosplay

"...I just want to read the book Caleb" "You want to read it yourself?" "Well, I mean..." "I could read it to you if you want" Caleb is @noclouds.bsky.social Jester is me! #cosplay #cosplayer #criticalrole #criticalrolecosplayer #mightynein #mightyneincosplay #calebwidogast #jesterlavorre

So I have a weird theory about wrist pain in crocheters, if you #crochet I'd love to get some additional data to either support or dismiss my theory! forms.gle/2BmzkcWnZxjK...

AS A OGRE FIONA COSPLAYER IM OBLIGATED TO ANNOUNCE THAT SHREK 5 IS OUT NEXT YEAR IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS UNBEARABLE BEFORE, IM ABOUT TO GET A WHOLE LOT WORSE #shrek

WORTH IT

adding to that list of do not buy for stashing: pleather! a ton of modern pleather rarely stands the test of time, even when stored in a temperature controlled space. i have pleather stuff from years ago that looks fine if you don't move it, but the minute it folds, it crumbles to pieces.
