Night of a barren witch

It’s one of those nights. One where I’m in tears thinking about how my cat is my only child in my life right now. How even though I am married I may never know what it’s like to be pregnant and give birth to a child. I cry with the thought of having a son, giving birth to a boy that looks as beautiful as my husband and I combined lovingly into one little person. I look at myself and see my…

New Normal for Witch Weddings

New Normal for Witch Weddings

How Covid-19 is changing the wedding industry;

A Bride’s perspective

Naturally I have other friends and groups of Brides to Be and recently married couples. Talking with a friend, I realize there’s some brides conforming to change and the “new normal” and others holding out for things to go back to the way things were before a global pandemic happened. But here’s the honest truth about…

Witch Moon and June Gloom

The reality of a Bride-To-Be during a global pandemic.

Countless number of weddings have been postponed or canceled due to COVID-19

Like many others, Rolando and I have felt the impact of COVID. We have lost family members, my fiancé lost his job and struggled to get through to unemployment, and as a immunocompromised person I live in a constant fear of infection.

Our trips to the…

Am I too late for #transformationtuesday ? Old friend of mine blew into town looking for change, so I turned her into a mermacorn (That's mermaid unicorn) lifted her hair and used all the colors I had in my stash from both Pravana and Joico Intensity. Teal, mystical mint, purple, magenta (Pravana& Joico), titanium, violet, amethyst, emerald, wild orchid. #allthecolors #mermaid #mermaidians #modernsalon #behindthechair #saloncentric #cosmoprof #pravana #joicointensity #vivids #pastel #unicorn #mermaidhair #cutandcolor #geometric #haircut #colorinspiration #topknot #LGBT #colormelt #transformation #beforeandafter #pink #purple #violet #lilac #wildorchid #silver #pearl

#transformationtuesday it's been over 2 years trying to get my Rogue hair just right. Now that I have it I'll be focusing more on my remaining rogue costumes. This year will be my last year with Rogue hair. So I want to make use of it as much as possible. So I'm looking for cons all over California and in the Los Angeles area. #rogue #cosplay #irlrogue #roguehair #realliferogue #xmen #roguecosplay #rogueone #makeupbyCandieDeath #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplaylife #makeupartist #photography #model #hairapybychrissylynn #busty #spandex #xmencosplay #xmenapocalypse #xmen80s #90s #leather #green #yellow #redlips #blonde #redhead #auburn #sunset #autumn #fall #leaves #nature #curvy #effyourbeautystandards

I've heard of a lot of my cosplay friends getting negative reactions from people who cosplay the same character(s) as them. Haven't we been bullied enough? I don't know about you, but most cosplayers I know are cosplaying to express themselves and the character they love. I'm not the kind of person to put down anyone cosplaying a character I love. I understand not everyone feels as I do. But how can we grow if we're so concerned about how someone else does or doesn't cosplay? It's costume play, we're not professionals. Im not a nice person, but I still know how to be a decent person. If you're dressed as the same character as me, get ready for a selfie. #cosplay #cospositive #love #respect #rarity #mlp #fim #friendshipismagic #selfie #flashback #flashbackfriday #animeexpo #ax #cosplayers #Raritycosplay #beexcellenttoeachother #positivity #mylittlepony #bronies #pegasister #unicorn #layout If you see yourself or a friend I tagged, please let me know and I'll tag you.

#flashbackfriday to 2 years ago, at 4 in the morning, I bleached my bangs to start my transformation as Rogue. Today I continue as Rogue for cosplay and beyond. OK-Life Story; I have Always loved Rogue because I identify with her. From the 90s XMen Cartoons to buying my first comic at Pasadena comic factory, I've always been a fan. Rogue never really had a supportive family, being raised by Mystique isn't exactly what I'd call a nurturing environment, and because of her mutant gene she has had trouble finding love & a place to feel at home (for the non nerds that don't read her real story). I have never been popular or been close to many people. Kids in school would call me Witch & many other horrible names to remind me that I was different, and different was unwanted. I was an ugly duckling. I had buck teeth, thick hairy unibrow and arms, short hair, and I have Flavor Flav a run for his money with how much silver caps I had. So I was an ugly nerd in the 90s. I still often feel like that, so it's still hard for me to be close with people. Plus because of being so used to physical and emotional abuse from the teasing and taunting, I also struggle with social anxiety. I have to mentally prepare myself for cons and outings. The fact that almost 600 people are supporting what I do both excites and terrifies me. I feel like I'm always waiting for the backlash, the name calling, harsh/unwanted scrutiny. Just when it starts to come and I've prepared myself to handle it, supportive people aid in my defense. So thank you, you all encourage me to be Mutant & Proud. #xmen #thenandnow #blonde #rogue #nerd #comics #cosplay #irlrogue #dedicated #mutant #fbf #progress #effyourbeautystandards #iambeautiful #nerdsaretakingover #storyofmylife #xmenapocalypse #xmencomics #90s #awkward #weird #daysoffuturepast #2yearsago

What a journey my hair has gone through to be my favorite comic book character. For two years I've been Rogue irl, but had none of the comic bodysuits I love. I'm finally comfortable enough with my body that I think it's long overdue to make some of my favorite classics. #Rogue #xmen #gothgeek #Cosplayer #dreams #MUAH #MUA #makeupartist #blonde #roguehair #deathdefyinghair
