Hug your fur babies tight and love them fiercely.

Last night, my family's baby Bailey crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm so incredibly heartbroken and I will miss him so much. He was the best and the sweetest dog on the planet.

Bails, I love you so much. You were my first dog and best boy. 💜

Thank you again to Otakon for inviting me to experience your event for the first time in forever! It was great to see friends, give some panels, and experience an absolutely incredible Masquerade!

Thank you everyone! 🥰

Saturday was Laudna day and just vibes until the Masquerade. It was a really incredible show with so much talent! Congratulations to the winners! So well-deserved! Sunday was our second Cosplay Department Heads panel talking about cosplay competitions from an organizer's perspective. Super fun!

Friday was Kpop Demon Hunters Day. I did Incognito Mira to wander, but just wanted something comfortable to cosplay. Thank you to everyone who asked for photos and selfies! 🥰 Set up my Gravity Falls Dress and then gave a Cosplay 101 panel. Thank you everyone for joining us! You were all awesome!

@oshi.us and I grabbed Nandos but realized the National Portrait Gallery was right across the street so we decided "Why not?"

Last Smithsonian museum to check off the list and this place was so beautiful. So happy that we decided to pop in.

Otakon post time!
I was invited to judge the Masquerade. My first time to the DC location and I was overwhelmed by the size. 😵‍💫 First time in over a decade and it was crazy. Got badges and got to see some of the Matsuri performances!

What a whirlwind week it's been. 😵‍💫

I was named the Audience Winner of the HerUniverse Fashion Show at SDCC. Alongside my partner in crime, Judge's Winner Lynleigh Sato, we will be designing a collection together for HerUniverse and Hot Topic!

This is such an insane time. I'm so excited 🥰

Ready for Magfest.
Finished my Keyleth and I'm so happy with how she came out. 💚 #criticalrole #keylethcosplay

Finished up some accessories for Keyleth today. Antlers and my staff. The staff was from my Jack Frost cosplay that I repurposed into a new prop. 💚

Keyleth from Critical Role progress for Magfest. Still lots to do but I opted to take a break today and catch up on other things.

Hopefully a full test shot can happen this weekend. 💚

Keyleth from Critical Role progress.

Now that the holiday is over, I need to settle in and get cracking on progress. I have a lot of work (and hand sewing) ahead of me. 😵‍💫

Wow. This was awesome. The first half being the symphony and the second being the concert was fantastic. I just wish some people had some more... decorum when we were trying to hear the actual orchestral performance. 🙃🥲
