Katsucon aka Partycon 2019
Katsucon has always been a dream convention of mine and when The Geek Lyfe gave me the opportunity to go, I couldn’t say no!

My Blizzcon 2018 Costume Contest Experience by Miss Ravencrest Cosplay
Due to the nature of going public with my experience, I have omitted one section to protect the friend mentioned in that section. [Editor’s note: This was originally submitted directly to a Blizzard community liaison, but Miss Ravencrest agreed to share this publicly. It has been edited to reflect this.] It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to consider putting it down in words and send...[Read More]
The Problematic Rise of the “Patreon Girl” and What It Means for Cosplay
Now, now. Put down that torch and pitchfork. This may be a sensitive topic many feel strongly about, but I am going to do my best to explain as objectively as possible why this trend is problematic.

Cobalt visits London for the Hyper Japan Christmas Market 2018!
This year’s Hyper Japan was the first back at London’s Olympia, following suit with the Summer Festival. A noticeable downsize had occurred, with the entire festival covering just the ground floor of one of Olympia’s halls. The way of festivity wasn’t strong this year, with the high glass ceiling of Olympia rendering the occasional Christmas light pretty much useless, even when the sun had set, wh...[Read More]
