Meet Tina! aka Eugene Porter aka Eugenia! We can’t say enough about this fabulous cosplayer. Tina brings so much fun, accuracy, dedication, energy and levity to her Eugene. She has his dead-pan look down pat and rocks Eugene’s voyeur tendencies with humor and grace. Tina is the heart and foundation of The Faking Dead group and together with Connor aka Aaron/ManCarol, who is also her grandson, our cosplay group is truly a family affair. One of the coolest aspects of The Faking Dead cosplay group is our evolving commitment to gender-bent COSPLAY. Every member either has a gender-bent build or is planning a build, and Tina has one of the best gender-bent Eugenes out there. Coming soon, look for her amazing gender-bent Dale Horvath to be tearing up the cons in his Hawaiian shirt, Dale-stare, and courageous empathy. We are incredibly blessed to have Tina as sn amazing cosplayer and rock in our #TheFakingDead family,

“And I mean that both emphatically and in equal measure.” - Eugene Porter

Meet Tanitia tanitiab aka Sasha Williams! Tanitia rules the land of Sasha cosplay with brilliant intensity and spot-on accuracy. I mean, just look at that sniper pose!!!! Tanitia’s enthusiasm, graciousness, humor, sweetness, and dedication make her an absolutely phenomenal cosplayer and person. For you Whovians out there, she’s also been known to do a fabulous River Song. Lucky for us, Tanitia has some mad dancing skills and can cut up the rug at any convention!

She is Sasha Fierce, and we love her!

I was kindly gifted the most important component for my upcoming cosplay by two members from my cosplay-family! Yes, besides my Carol cosplay, I shall be doubling as a genderbent Negan for thefakingdead! 😎

My hubby has deemed it “Shegan”. Haha

Can’t wait to get this cosplay going!! It’s all downhill from here since I have my Lucille now! Thanks again to super sweet Tina and Connor! 💜

[thefakingdead]

SHEGAN! Yes.

Meet Naomi! illusianation aka Tara Chambler! No stranger to dressing like her favorite characters but newer to the world of cosplay, Naomi started out as a huge fan, collecting the Screen Accurate pieces of some her favorite characters from TWD (cough*CAROL*cough) to wear in her daily life, but it wasn’t until being surrounded by a close group of cosplaying friends that she decided to join in the craft and become a credible cosplayer with an up and coming fan base. Your eyes ARE fooling you, her MotorMouth Mabel shirt is handmade and is not an official MMM product. This just goes to show her natural talent and amazing eye for detail of bringing her cosplay together with great authenticity. She loves Tara beyond measure and puts her whole heart and soul into potraying her character as accurate as possible. She even bought a wig AND brown contacts (she’s a blue-eyed blondie in real life). Naomi is not only a phenomenal cosplayer but an amazing human in general. She strives for human equality both in and out of the cosplay world and strives to make everyone happier with her presence. #TFD is beyond blessed to have her as part of our slowly growing group and honored to have such a cheerleader in our group to help us further continue to knock down cosplay barriers.

“Hope you enjoy(ed) the show, assholes!” ❤️👊
