The Fascinating World of Cosplay

From a (semi) beginner's point of view. 

I am relatively new to the comicon scene, but I've always been a fond of dressing up in characters. Once I've got the courage to go to my first Comicon in Phoenix, four years ago, I got hooked. It felt great to be around a sea of people that embrace the same passion. From that day on, the rest is history.

(click on the highlighted words to get more info) 

How hard is it to put a costume together of your favorite character, in time for COMICON ?

 On a budget, too? There are plenty of DIY sites and YouTube tutorials out there.

And the toughest question of all: Once you've got it all ready, do you have the guts to go outside in that costume? Will you stay in character the entire time?

After you buy yourself the 4-day ticket, way in advance, because the earlier you plan it the more money savvy it will be.

These guys did a great job portraying the new Baywatch (2017) movie .

Once you've finished the cosplay, you MUST wear it around the house, backyard, front, if it's not going to scare the neighbors, to make sure it fits proper, doesn't hurt, or falls apart if you sneeze.

Friendly advice: Figure out how to take it off to go to the bathroom, and fit it all in the small stall. You have to stay hydrated.

 You can easily hide your backpack to keep your keys, phone, tickets, water, etc- making it part of the costume, or have an awesome BFF who will hold your stuff. :) Battle buddy system works best.

To make it even more memorable, you can set up a mini photoshoot with expert cosplay photographers in your area for a small fee.

 Here are a few in Arizona, I've worked with and I highly recommend:

Who is this hottie?

Let's look from a different angle:

 How about now?






 That's right! It is Sally Ann Francis



SAG-AFTRA awesome actress who can change and mold for any role and look natural.

I had the opportunity to work with her. She put on the Russian attire of a general's wife and instantly she became one. Her accent, her posture, her acting skills showed once again that Sally can do anything.

Here she is next to Don Teply and EricAnimal Rane. Arizona actors extraordinaires.

Well, behind the long blonde hair and astonishing blue eyes, there is a true lover for the arts.

 

  She produced "a short film done sitcom style about four elderly and feisty females forced to live in a retirement center after losing their husbands. They feel their lives are mundane until they realize friendship is everything."

Check who's attention this great comedy captured?

I was already screened at COMICON and coming up in Jerome Film Fest.

A MASK! a fence... A miss.

I am feeling bloo. and yet- YOLO.. lol   rite! here i am - RAW!

Images of soldiers and dragons

Fill my dreams, still

I've put my all in two wagons

Tell me your pains, I am your pill

Hold me till the morning sun

shines through the curtains

I am your target, give me your gun

Help me release my endorphins

I hear guitars and drums

Your heartbeat while laying on me

The outside world ours becomes 

Tie me up, so I can feel free
