/blows dust off comm

[momijizukamori]

So I apparently subscribed to this comm at some point in the distant past and promptly forgot about it, until today when I went 'man I really wish there was a DW comm to talk about cosplay stuff, I should make one' and started checking possible usernames, only to stumble across this. So - anyone still out there? Give a shout if you are!

And to provide something by way of content/intro - I'm Cocoa, I've been cosplaying for sixteen years now, and I also run Anime Boston's Cosplay Repair Station and occasionally do cosplay related panels. I love discussing techniques and processes and nerding about materials, which I sometimes do on tumblr, except I feel awkward about my Walls Of Text there, because tumblr is not a good platform for that.

I think my cosplay facebook has like... five likes, hahaha. I'm always sort of bemused and pleasantly surprised when FB tells me it has a new view, because I'm basically awful at actually updating it or any kind of self-promotion, and I have no idea how anyone is stumbling across it.

Probably like 80% of my cosplay is anime/manga/Japanese video games, but honestly at this point I've done a bit of almost everything. Who have you cosplayed from RE? I did both Ada and Leon in RE4 outfits years ago - Ada is retired (too small for me now, and I made a lousy Ada), but I'd like to wear Leon again some time.

Haha, same here! I have other things going on, and I only go to a few cons a year, so I rarely ever do any real marketing for it.

Nice! I love Ada as well as Leon (depending on the version of him), so I'd love to see pics of your cosplays sometime! From RE, I've done Ingrid Hunnigan and Helena Harper (the Tall Oaks outfit). I'm going to cosplay Helena's Lanshiang outfit, the mayor's daughter, and Excella at some point, too. I like doing the lesser known characters in that series. ^^
