Because one Halloween costume wasn't enough!
I have an extensive collection of costumes in my closet, so naturally one costume wasn’t enough for me this year. I suppose I was making up for my lame Halloween last year.

Halloween Mermaid Makeup Tutorial
Today on Etsy, they featured a makeup video tutorial from Traci Hines. I must admit, I’m a bit of a Traci fangirl myself.

Check her out on... Read more »
Halloween at work
Fun times at work…sorta So, as I mentioned in my last blog, I’m not really feeling the Halloween spirit this year.

The road to Dragon*Con
Some of you may have read my previous blog about Dragon*Con, the most epic convention I’ll be attending this year. I’m still recovering from last week’s Chicago Comic Con, and next week I’ll be packing up and driving down to Atlanta for 4 days of cosplay, parties, and shenanigans. A good number of my...

Dragon*Con: The ultimate pop culture convention
DragonCon is by far the largest convention I’ve ever gone to. It takes place every year during Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia. I like to think of DragonCon as a cosplayers’ convention. There is absolutely no limit to what costumes you’ll see on the convention floor. Because DragonCon is a multi-genre event, the costumes... Read more »
