Image
JC's Introduction Hey guys! The blogger's being a bit funky today, so sorry if this looks a bit odd. I recently asked JC if she would like to write a quick paragraph as an introduction. So, here it is! Take it away, JC! " Hello, I am gaycie the big boi. My cosplays are varying so far, but I'm going as my fursona, Richie Tozier, and Pidge so far. I don't cosplay often but when I go to conventions it's a fun experience. Feed me orphans, ~JC " JC isn't a blogger, but she is an artist, and you can usually find her on her DeviantArt, youtube channel, and Discord chatroom server. Her Fursona, JC Mocha Biscuit, her Axolotl OC Find her here! DeviantArt YouTube Channel Discord Chatroom Server Thanks for reading! Go check out JC and give her a few likes, at least! Keep cosplaying, Julia.

Keith Kogane and Kyoya Ootori Cosplay | Work in Progress

Image
New Cosplays! Hey guys, I'm back and here to stay after a needed break. The school year got very busy, but you don't need to hear it! You came for some awesome cosplays! Please, keep in mind these are both works in progress. Keith Kogane You all remember my Edward Elric cosplay? Well, I took the red jacket, and folded/cut it to be smaller! I then hot glues strips of felt fabric for the yellow and white pieces. I am almost done, but I need to add the collar and possibly a zipper. I feel like using the base jacket saved much more money and overall improved the quality and efficiency.  I have some tuning to so and some more progress, but if you have any suggestions or comments, leave them below! Keith Jacket: Back Keith Jacket: Front Kyoya Ootori This next cosplay was made in about an hour! I will be wearing it to a cosplay panel, which I may post here. Kyoya Ootori is from Ouran High School Host Club. The school has a uniform, which all the ...

EPIC WIG/SUPPLIES ORDER!! | Update

Epic Wig/Supplies Order!! | Update Hey guys! It's Julia! Today, I wanted to tell you i ordered a TON of stuff on amazon! (I'm getting half of it tomorrow!!) You don't  have to read this, because I will be doing an unboxing video, but go ahead if you want!  Wigs I Ordered: Princess Allura | White Wig: Wig Link  This wig is heat resistant, and very useful! I will mainly use it for my Allura cosplay, but I will be using it for female Shiro and female Papyrus! I'm sure if you are able to, it is able to be cut. (And styled.) Edward Elric | Blond/Yellow Wig: Wig Link This wig is not heat resistant, but comes in three colors! (I probably should've gotten the lighter one but whatever!) Many anime characters are blonde, like Winry, so it's very useful! Roy Mustang/Keith | Black Wig: Wig Link (The picture on the link was styled like Roy, but also works for Keith!) This wig is for me, but I will be le...

Should I Cosplay in a group or alone? | Discussion

Should I cosplay in a group or alone? | Discussion Hey, guys! It's Julia! Today, I will be discussing the topic of group cosplay and solo cosplay. I have done both at least once and watched several videos on the subject. Sometimes, people wonder if they will get lonely cosplaying alone. Not necessarily. When I cosplay, I've always brought a friend to at least watch me. You can always make new friends at the convention! (Just be safe.) Cosplay can be a good conversation starter. However, if you go alone, you can be lonely. Although, this will apply to any event whether you're cosplaying or not. But, solo cosplay can lead to easier planning. You wouldn't have to save spending money for all of your friends. (If needed, this is sometimes a problem.) Or cosplay in a group with people who don't know anything about the characters. For example, I really like the Voltron: Legendary Defender series, but my friend knows nothing about it. I almost made her wear a c...

How to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs! | Tutorial

How to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs! | Tutorial Hey guys! It's Julia! Today, I will be doing my first tutorial! I will be showing you how to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs. This is in no way a professional tutorial, and it all depends on how bad of shape it is. (Cut hair, tangles, or bad treatment/washing.) As all of you know, wigs get very tangled. This is what my wig looked like. (I don't have actual pictures.) GARBAGE Ok, all jokes aside, the wig looked disgusting. I was 90% sure that it was unfixable. But, I was able to make it look like this! Now, the tips of the back DO NOT feel as good as they look. So just be aware, this is NOT for softening a wig! Also, do not use this for quality wigs, I don't want to make you loose you expensive wig. ;-; Step 1. Fill your sink or bucket with water. THIS STEP IS NOT REQUIRED FOR FABRIC SOFTENER, FILL THE CONTAINER WITH FABRIC SOFTENER INSTEAD.) Fill your sink/container with enough water to drown yo...

Roy Mustang Costume | Update

Image
Roy Mustang Costume | Update Hi guys! It's Jewel!   This is most likely the second to last update about the Roy Costume. I have completed the sewing and dyed it. TIP: Do not use thick fabrics for dyeing. It does not get a very good color.       I used two fabrics for the shirt and pants. Yes, It's not very professional, but I ran out and needed to finish it. The pants, which were a loose fabric, worked very well with the dye , but the shirt did not. The shirt was very thick, and turned out as a light purple-blue.  OF course, I worked too hard on this to let it go to waste, so I will still allow JC to wear it. However, I will not be using it as a craftsmanship entry for the mini con. As for the full con, I will most likely make her another costume to go with my Allura costume. Perhaps, Keith will do. PLEASE learn  from my mistake!! If you're not sure, don't. (Unless you don't care, and by the way, I let it soak for an hour.) Roy Mustang Cos...

Voltron Legendary Defender | Update

Voltron Legendary Defender | Update Hey guys! It's Julia. Today I wanted to say that I started watching, Voltron Legendary Defender. I already love it, and I'm only on the second episode.  If you don't know what voltron is, It is an anime/cartoon (a Netflix original) about high tech space lions. It is very good!! IF you want to know more, go to the wiki. So, what I'm basically saying is.... you're gonna have to expect some cosplays! haha! NO REGRETS!!
