Spring and summer always signal my life dissolving to complete chaos due to the start of convention season. Between work and play – video game events and cosplay opportunities – I am traveling almost every weekend or busy in my basement polishing off a costume. This is my best effort to stay organized in terms of cosplay, by planning ahead what costumes I intend to debut and at what event. Below you will find the cons I plan on attending both locally and nationally, with a few hopefuls thrown in there if I can scrounge up the funds. I also included a skeleton for my photoshoot schedule in 2010.
If you are a fellow cosplayer, there are several notes below indicating I am looking for a group. If you are a photographer, makeup artist or hairstylist and would like to work together on one of the below projects, let me know! Last, if you are a fan or a patron and want to donate “a cup of coffee” towards a specific costume, help is always appreciated!
2010 is going to be a big year!

Sounds like its going to be an awesomely busy year for you! I will look forward to more of your cosplay updates!
Come to Dragon*Con!
The Prince costume is certainly busy, but that doesn’t necessarily make it interesting. What do you like about it, exactly?
I MIGHT be interested in joining your Cyberforce group, assuming you still need another gal. I say might because I won’t know for another few weeks whether or not I’ll be attending SDCC. If I am, though, I would love to do either Cyblade or Ballistic – I don’t have a preference.
–Lita
@Christa: I hope I can pull everything off!
@Chris: That’s the one I want to make more than any other! It’s so close to SDCC though, it’s tough.
@AktrezFanForever: I love all of the Prince’s costume! It’s really ornate. He manages to look like a pauper and a prince at the same time. Not to mention he has that awesome gauntlet! Do I know you, since you are a friend of Becky’s work?
@Lita: Please let me know! I may have a Cyblade, so Ballistic would be PERFECT. She is so badass!
This may be to late, or you don’t need anymore, thats okay, but I don’t have any cosplays planned on saturday for SDCC and am interested in doing the video game heroes group if you still need a person. I’m happy to be anyone, but I was thinking of Dante, or Link, or Kratos, they’re definiate favorites. Let me know if you need someone or your general thoughts on that, please.
@Christa – We are just starting the planning, so it’s not too late! Kratos may be claimed, but the others are open. Do you have a facebook page? If so, add me. I am going to make a cosplay group there so we can chat about our costumes for SDCC and such
Sounds great! The request is sent!
