So, about half of my Samus armor is ready for paint… because I ran out of Rapid Fill (the product that I use to prep EVA foam builds for paint).
Put in a fresh order, so should start painting the first half this week and the second half next week.

I don’t know how to take good videos, but I’ve been working on these gauntlets for my Vi cosplay for MONTHS and they’re finally at the end of the building stage.

Brie Larson was very vocal about wanting to portray Samus in a Metroid movie, and Nintendo was like “let’s just make you the other really tall Nintendo space babe.”

So… remember that Grass Trainer Hatsune Miku masquerade cheer routine that I did at Anime Frontier last year?
With this ruling, that performance is now illegal in Texas, and this could put all conventions in Texas at risk, especially when combined with another new law…
Here’s why… (CTD…)

New: Texas can enforce a 2023 law that restricts some public drag shows, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday.
Senate Bill 12 prohibits drag performers from dancing suggestively or wearing certain prosthetics in front of children.

Happy #n7day!
Did you know that BioWare featured me for N7 Day back in 2019? Still one of my biggest cosplay honors, although the fan base back then wanted the remastered ME trilogy and instead they just got me, Dio.

Halloween is a very special day for us, because it’s how I met the person in 2021 who is now my wife ❤️

I am very much looking to a location cosplay shoot this weekend, as it's the one weekend every year where I'll walk from my car to the location in cosplay and everyone won't be looking at me like I'm crazy.
