Fanime!!

I'm typing this from my phone on my plane to San Jose! I decided last week, due to my cancelation of Colossalcon, to fly out to Fanime this weekend!!

The costumes I've got with me are:

Punk Poison Ivy

Dark Brotherhood Assassin

Ryuko Matoi

and Jasmine!


I'll be taking lots of photos throughout the weekend and I'm REALLY gonna try to figure out this Snapchat thing-- my username is itslisalouwho in case I figure it out and you wanna see silliness!

Google Hangout tomorrow!!

I'm having a Google Hangout for my higher tier members tomorrow at 12pm CST

! And I've sent my super higher tiers emails about what 11x 17 print they'd like for their April reward-- if you don't respond by Monday, I'll just surprise you!

As of right now I'm going to a con next weekend (I bet you can guess which one by my Twitter posts and hints), but I'm not announcing anything publicly because I feel like each time I announce a con I'm going to and then end ...

I am fire. I am DEATH.

Sneak peek look at my super secret Smaug cosplay, sponsored by Lvl Up by Lootcrate!! They have an exclusive Lord of the Rings wearable in their May Lvl Up package (which you can still order! I have a discount code even!! LisaLouWho10 !) and they have made my cosplay dreams come true by having me make this costume to get the word out! You might be seeing more stuff like this soon!

Can't wait to show you the finished photos I just took with Erik Blume!

Cosplay and body image

If you follow my work you might know my struggle with my personal body image.

I grew up as a dancer-- a very competitive dancer at one of the best competitive dance schools in the country. Up until I was 14, I was considered one of the best dancers at that school. It consumed my life. I danced 6 hours a day, every day of the week, even becoming home-schooled to focus on dance full time. It was everything to me, and I had a bright future as a professional dancer and my dream was to b...

Welp

Making of: Punk Poison Ivy

So this write-up is a lot easier than Sylvanas, so I thought I would whip it up quick for you guys!

A price breakdown is going to be a littler harder, because I got all of the fabrics in the garment district in LA! Even the excess spikes are from there!


So this costume was inspired by, really, the idea that Poison Ivy cosplays usually involve just hot gluing leaves to leotards/bras. I, of course, have no problem with that, but with my Poison Ivy renditions (like my baller...

How to deal with bullies

All my life I have dealt with bullies the same way: Keep on doing what you're doing and kick ass doing it and show them that they can never take you down.

I've had a few cosplays throughout my time cosplaying that were created to express my emotions related to being mistreated by others. Cosplay can be more than just an expression of a favorite character, but an expression of emotion, confidence, and making a statement. DEEP I KNOW!


I created this cosplay as a statement t...

Its Mayyyyy!!

Okay! I'm back from Indiana Comic Con!! I've still got prints to sign and ship out, and a Blade of Woe to make for Michael Lentz (the giveaway winner!!) for April!!! Usually I won't be this behind, it just took a long ass time to get all photography rights sorted out and the prints took a while to get here!!

I've got cosplay breakdown posts to make, as well as a recap of my trip to Indiana Comic Con, and this month I hope to focus on additional blog posts more related to cosplay/my...

I may not be at PAX East, but my work is!

I made the pants the Blizzard booth's Tracer is wearing, as part of a collaboration withHenchmen Props!

I NEED YOUR HELP!!

It's not confirmed, but it's possible I'll be at PAX East next weekend!


Aaaaand, I don't know what to wear ;___;


I will definitely be bringingDark BrotherhoodandMad Moxxi, but NOT Sylvanas, because I would need a handler and Nick won't be there with me! Other than Fox McCloud and Handsome Jackie (which I'm not in the mood to wear), those are my currently-functioning gaming cosplays I have! Eek!!

Oh my gosh! It's April already!!

As I sit at the MSP terminal, waiting for my last-minute-decision flight to Los Angeles, I'm in complete disbelief it's April already!!


I made SO MUCH this month, as far as cosplay goes, but I'm behind on the content I wanted to show you guys! As I said from the start, please bear with me while I get used to having consistent content! Because of C2E2 and Wondercon, I never scheduled a second

Butt Stallion says "hi"

I made a Butt Stallion!! Poor Pinkie Pie was in a bin of toys at Goodwill for $5. With a few rhinestones she's now Handsome Jackie's companion :P I'm hoping to do a Handsome Jackie shoot once we find a location in MN that fits!

Regularly-scheduled Streaming coming next week!

I bought a new laptop!! Which will make it a lot easier for me to record and stream my cosplay progress like never before!

I tried while making Sylvanas, to record my progress on my iPhone, but it ended up being such a hassle since the storage kept filling up : / So now I'll be able to bring this around with me while I craft!!


In case you're curious, this is the computer I bought:2016-03-29 19:19:09 +0000 UTC View Post
