My Bio
My general philosophies on what I do:

Cosplay: I do it for fun, and I love to have fun with it. I do the characters that appeal to me for whatever reason, without regards as to whether they are popular or not. I definitely don't take it seriously other than the fact that I won't wear something unless I'm committed to it and really like the character and the costume. I've met so many wonderful people through this hobby!

Photography: I'm really nothing more than a snapshot-taker. I think I have a decent eye for composition and viewpoint, but I consider myself completely ignorant of how to manipulate lighting and exposure. I rarely photoshop pictures unless it is to color-correct or repair dust, scratches, or minor edits.

Traditional Arts: I got fed up with 'formal' art instruction in high school and dropped art class completely. I didn't draw again until college, when I used it as a technique to stay awake in chemistry class. I've had no real training in drawing, and even less in painting, so anything I do is just sketched from photographs. I go through fits and starts - I haven't drawn in a few years since I have been more absorbed in cosplay instead, but I imagine that some day I'll wander back to it.

It's been a rough few weeks this summer, and that's without counting this awful relentless heat and humidity. Starting back in October, my boyfriend had to have his German Shepherd, Dutchess, who was paralyzed from the waist down, put to sleep.  Three days later, he found out his 14-year-old Chow/husky mix, Sabra, had cancer.  All winter, we stood by her, through surgeries and chemo treatments and injections and supplements.  There were still some good times, but by spring, she made it pretty clear she'd had enough of the medications and was ready, and she went to sleep peacefully in mid-May. At the end of May, my uncle suffered a series of

This past weekend was AB'12, and on Friday I debuted my new Wonder Woman costume I've been working on since January or February.  It's an original design, for which I took inspiration from a number of her prior costumes, plus strong elements of her classical-styled roots, and a kickass pair of boots that, after purchasing them, I felt I had to justify owning them by using them to kickoff the design. And it was a HIT. Eeee! So many pictures!  I had 3 photoshoots throughout the day, and was in costume from before 10 AM to 7 PM, so I was stopped many many times for pictures, plus my feet were pretty much completely destroyed after almost 10 ho
