Blizzcon Is Coming and the Cosplay Is Going to Be Insane
Blizzcon holds a special place in my heart. It was my first ever convention, and it was my inspiration to begin this crazy cosplay hobby. Blizzcon cosplayers are truly a step above the rest as we all support each other to go above and beyond and create the best versions of our favorite Blizzard characters we can. I’m always learning from the amazing creators that attend Blizzcon, and just hanging ...

Ways to Combat Toxicity in Our Cosplay Community
Every morning, I start my day perusing the many social media outlets filled with excitement and anticipation of what wonderful cosplayers have to share with the world that day. Unfortunately, lately, I’ve been greeted by something else: hate and discord in the cosplay community. It’s disgusting, saddening and it’s getting harder and harder to scroll past and ignore. You might be thinking, “Hey, wh...
