Getting a Fresh Start

Well, I have another platform to mismanage.

I've been making costumes since 2009, and I can honestly say that social media has always been the hardest part for me. Essentially, I've never wanted to do what a lot of other cosplayers do. I'm not interested in being famous, invited to all of the events, worshipped online, or for it to become my primary source of income. Instead, I've wanted to do something a bit different.

Literally me in the Happiest Place on Earth

When I got back from Disney World in the beginning of February, I came off of what can only be described as "vacation high". I went to Florida with the love of my life, and got to experience one of the Disney Parks for the first time. I've been a dedicated Disney fan since I was a little girl, and I was elated to finally have the chance to go. I cried when I met Rapunzel. I happily giggled taking photos and running around. I got to eat in the ballroom of Beast's Castle. I cried again meeting Rapunzel a second time (no shame). I tuckered myself out running from park to park. I came home happy to have had the experience.

Disney brought some change on though. For a long time, I've had to manage my emotions, my stressors, my career, and my life, and it's been particularly difficult. I've done some soul searching and came to a good conclusion.

I still love making dresses and living in the colourful dream I always have; however, I wanted to be able to use those things reach out and put some good back in the world. That's why I've decided to start this blog.

What I'm here to do is not to profess teaching or any perfection in cosplay or in the life I lead. Instead, I want to show you the simple truth that I have no idea what I'm doing, and that that is okay. I want to show you my joy in making the fluffiest and sparkliest gowns I can, but that sometimes I mess up and that's okay. I want to show you how things go wrong, but how you can fix them, and that's okay. I want to show the human side of cosplay and living as an imperfect human, and that that's okay. There are no wrong answers here. 

The love I have for this crazy human knows no bounds

We're here to learn and make mistakes. We'll talk about a variety of things, and try to experience this crazy world of cosplay together. On this blog, you'll see some works in progress, some finished photos, some new skills I try to bluster through, some events, some friends, lots of mistakes, and more crystals than a Swarovski store.

Let's try to dream a few dreams together.
