What We Loved in 2015 (Pt. 1)

You thought we were done? Hardly. 2015 was a MASSIVE year for us. We went Drake-style back to back with show after show after show after show, oh man. However, this last task may have been the hardest yet for our J&G crew. To round up the year, we asked each member to choose one track (yes, just one) that defined their 2015. So, take a break from the DJ Khaled snapstory and ride with us through a journey of what we loved in 2015:

I sort of feel like Liz in Battleship Bay seeing your posts every day. So much awesome fanart that I've never seen! So so glad you guys are back. <3

I'm glad that more fanart is getting exposure! I should have another surprise to make you feel like you're dancing at Battleship Bay soon too! :)

Just give me a little time to work out the details. :P

I just wanted to thank you for reblogging my Lutece cosplay! This is one of my favorite Bioshock Infinite blogs, and it feels like somewhat of an honor. Hope you're having fun in Chicago!

Ah, but of course! Your cosplay was wonderful! I hope you continue to enjoy the blog. It's an honor that you love this blog so much. <3

Your wigs for your Lutece cosplay look awesome. May I ask where you got them?

Why, thank you!Sure!  My Robert wig is a lace-front wig from arda-wigs.com, their "Cady" style in Warm Light Brown.  I still need to trim it up a good bit, as it's got longer hair than I need, but I'm so pleased I went with my gut and chose the WLB color rather than the pumpkin, as I wanted a more muted, natural-looking redhead tone.I actually don't wear a wig for Rosalind!  The hair you see is what grows out of my head.  That said, my genetic hair color is a muted dark blond, so if you have a base color like mine, the box dye I use (and recommend) is L'Oreal Excellence Creme in Red Penny, which I buy at my local Walgreens.  I experiment quite a bit with different ways of getting the best possible updo, and once I settle on one, I may eventually do a tutorial if other people are interested, but for now I'm still fiddling with a few options to get the height I want from it.If you're looking for a wig for Rosalind, my suggestion for your best bet would most likely be Arda's lacefront wig "Matilda" in Dark Copper Red (it doesn't come in Warm Light Brown), though right now DCR and Pumpkin are both out of stock.  (I'd also caution that Matilda is only a lace front wig, not a full lace cap, so when styling her, you'll want to play the style a bit soft in the back and not pull it up as tight as you might otherwise want to do, lest the bottom of your wig look obvious.)I really hope this helps!
