Costume-con35
It’s back! Costume-con-35 was held in Mississauga, Canada April 20-24 and Literature Soong and I were lucky enough to be able to attend! It was my second Costume-con, and his first. We saw a ton of great panels (notes will follow in the coming weeks) including but not limited to: Spandex, Hat Making, How To Make Headwear, Social Media For Cosplayers, Basic Pattern Drafting, Manipulating…

The Cosplay Room
I’ve finally got the cosplay room organized! We moved (sort of) recently from the small 600 square foot apartment to a whopping 1650 square foot house which meant that I would be able to have a room dedicated entirely to cosplay! It’s taken me longer than I care to admit to organize, but I got there in the end! I have a desk for my computer and printer, a place for my Tv, shelves for my books, a…

This year looks like it could be one of our busiest convention years ever! Schedules permitting, Literature Soong and I may be able to attend 4 conventions this year! First will be Toronto ComicCon from March 17-19, next will be CostumeCon35 from April 20-24, then Ottawa ComicCon May 12-14, and lastly Fan Expo on Labour Day weekend (August 31 – September 3).
I’m especially excited to go to CostumeCon35 – it’s a travelling convention that moves around the world and it’s been in Canada twice in the last 4 years. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to CostumeCon32, and it really got me fired up to make some cosplay stuff!
I didn’t cosplay 4 years ago, but I plan to this time. Naturally, I’ll be wearing my two Red Queen dresses
(Lit Soong got me the ‘Through The Looking Glass’ dress for Christmas!)
I’d like to wear my Pandaren Monk costume as it’s the first thing I successfully
sewed myself, and I’ll probably wear my Lady Tsunade costume as well.
I’m super excited to see what panels and workshops there will be this year. I attended 12 panels and two workshops last time, and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to do even more this time!
Are you going to CostumeCon 35?
What are you looking forward to most?
Will you be competing in any of the contests or masquerades?

FanExpo 2016
This past Labour Day weekend was FanExpo 2016! They had a sensational line up of guests (check them out here!) I was fortunate enough to do everything I wanted to including all the panels I wanted to see (except Mark Hamill ’cause his line was incredibly long, and Lit Soong and I were knackered by the end of the day Sunday). We also cosplayed all four days – a first for us, as we usually only…

The Secret World Of Sewing I thought I was "fixing" the pants I recently made when I trimmed "excess" fabric - I wasn't.
Lady Tsunade (Naruto) Wig 1.0
Lady Tsunade (Naruto) Wig 1.0
I started with Le Tigre – Platinum Blonde (081) from arda-wigs.com and didn’t need to do a whole lot to make it the way I wanted. Here’s how it started:
(It wasn’t this colour- I got this awesome full length shot of the wig from the Arda Wigs website)
First, I began by adding extra wefts to make it thicker (anime characters have an unnatural amount of hair) – I bought the matching platinum…

Cosplaying Away From Home
Lit Soong, my husband, and I are headed to Ottawa ComicCon in a couple weeks and I felt that this was a great time to talk about cosplaying away from home. It’s enough of a mission to get ready for a full day in costume when you’re in the comfort of your own home, it’s a totally different beast when you’re in a foreign space.
The biggest issue is making sure that you have everything you need. I’m…

Prosthetic Application Trial
Literature Soong and I decided it was time to do a prosthetics adhesive test as we’re hoping to wear our panda noses to Ottawa ComicCon in May. We bought our adhesive, liquid latex, and adhesive remover from Candy’s Costume Shop in Toronto – it’s an awesome shop where we buy nearly all of our cosplay makeup. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable, and they’ve never recommended a…

Check out our pictures that iFantastic took:
