As soon as I saw the episode that featured young Maria Calavera, a dual-scythe-wielding, silver-eyed all-around badass, I knew I wanted to cosplay her. Not only was her character incredibly fascinating, but her costume design was beautiful. I loved her colors, the Tabasco dress inspired attire, and all the little nods to Dia de…
This isn’t my first time attempting this series. I set out to do this a few years ago with my “Meet a Cosplayer” series but ultimately came up short of my original goal. Originally, I was hoping to make it similar to my “Leaving Home” series, in which I sent questionnaires to be answered and…

Photo credit to PancakeRemix Overcooked came out in 2016 and was an instant hit. I absolutely loved playing it together with Jason. I’d play it by myself sometimes when I’d get home after work before him cause I loved it so much. The sequel came out August 2018 and I decided it was time to…
Photo credit to PancakeRemix Last year, Night in the Woods came out and I had the pleasure of watching Jason play through it. It’s a charming game full of heart, humor, and fun mini games. Recently, I finally got to play it myself and purposefully picked story lines that Jason didn’t so that I could…
Fan Expo Dallas in Dallas, TX (Apr 2018) Akon 29 in Fort Worth, TX by Allie Norado Photography (Jun 2018) I’ve cosplayed Blake and now I’m cosplaying her momma Kali. She’s a super adorable cat mom so I just HAD to cosplay her! Also, she’s kinda tiny which I think works pretty well for me. I…
Start early, for the love of god Jason and I got engaged September 2016. The wedding wouldn’t be until January 2018. But we moved in April 2017, so I effectively didn’t really start my dress in earnest until around June. I’m glad I started when I did because so many things changed and unforeseen problems…
In Part I of this series, I went over my research for my wedding dress. Today’s post will focus on buying everything necessary for the project and a short blurb about making the mockup. Constant Vigilance! Inspiration can strike at any moment! After getting engaged, it didn’t take very long to start buying pieces for…
Inspired by Breezeeweezee Cosplay’s blog post with her bucket list, I decided to write my own! It’s heavily influenced by her formatting, but will include some retroactive milestones I’ve reached during my cosplay career. I’ve also added and removed some to my liking. I’m sure this list will grow with the years, but hopefully the…
In May of this year, Arkane Studios came out with a new game “Prey.” In it, enemies known as mimics run around and are the first monsters you encounter. I decided to make a plushie based on these mimics and I’ve created a pattern for it so you can make your own! Click to download…
Ever since getting engaged in September of last year, a swarm of questions have been buzzing around in my brain related to wedding planning. When would we get married? Where would we get married? Who would be in our bridal party? What should our color scheme be? How are we going to eat keto at…
“Saved” may be a bit of hyperbole, but bear with me while I take you back about 17 years to the year 2000. Introduction to Anime, Stumbling into Cosplay In 5th grade, I started watching Sailor Moon on Toonami. As far as animes go, it was pretty mainstream because it was on a major television…
