I suck at cosplay

OMG! My first REAL cosplay and competition

Anime Nebraskon 2015

This past weekend was my first attempt at REAL cosplay at a con. AND my first competition. It was a big weekend and I learned a great deal. I was excited to put all the crafting and tools away for a couple few months and have some time to do other things, but after the weekend at con I am already thinking of what I'm doing next.

I will go over more information regarding the two costumes I did (Kuranosuke from Princess Jellyfish and Eiger from Shadowrun: Dragonfall) in their own posts. In this post, I'd just like to chronicle what I learned and things I hope to remember and refine in my future cons.

About me

I am a middle age translady librarian who came to the cosplay world late in the game. As such, I suck at cosplay! This blog will chronicle my quest to become better (hopefully) at the art of looking like amazing characters!
