I also just wanted to quickly address the promo video that we promised. After viewing the footage I had come to discover that there was no sound on most of the clips and the quality was very shaky and awkwardly framed at times. The previous videographer who also was going to put together the video is no longer working or in contact with us. I hope to gather more footage at the next meetup so I can make a quality video. The footage we have is barely usable and would not make a very inviting video! thank you for your patience I just wanted to address this. stay cute, Wednesday~

Cosplay Group Introduction

Name: Porsche

I love to bake, draw, swim, sew, make things, and travel. I’ve been cosplaying for about 7 years now, since I was 12 and I hope to teach and encourage others who like anime, manga, and gaming to try cosplay in a fun, safe environment :) I’m very much the “mom” friend of the group if you can’t tell OTL

The spring is always a little chaotic but things should be slowing down soon and we should be able to begin planning for the first meetup! WE ARE NOT ABANDONING THIS PROJECT. We only have 8 members on the FB group!!! so I encourage you all to invite your friends to join the group so we can make this the best it can be.
