Taste of Buffalo
WNY Superheroes and Cosplayers had a blast at the Taste of Buffalo this year. Big thank you to Paula’s donuts for bringing us in. Kids of all ages really enjoyed seeing the different characters! I even ran out of trading cards to pass out! So next year, I would definitely bring more as well as wear costumes that have cards made up.
It also didn’t matter what my costume was, I was baking LOL Sure Susan, wear Black Widow on a 84 degree day XD
Thanks to all the vendors who enjoyed seeing us and gave us free food – Sidelines had AMAZING fried pickles! Bravo! has THE BEST Lobster Bisque
Hopefully, we’ll be back next year! 😀
Replacing InJ2 HQ
So, at Flower City I had a little incident with my InJ2 pants and it split along the belt line. Thankfully not in other places 😡
After selling off a few things and getting some monies owed to me, I went ahead and ordered a new one. Im trying a different company, Pro cosplay. I had good recommendations for them and it looks more screen accurate.
Taste of Buffalo will be the last time I wear the current InJ2…but I have a back up costume in case my mending doesn’t hold up 😮
Hopefully at the end of this month Ill have a new one. Ironically the old old was delivered this month last year, so its a weird anniversary? o_O
Buffalo Comicon Cosplay Con
I had a blast at the Cosplaycon hosted by Buffalo Comicon! I don’t think Ive ever been sooo busy at an event! I only got to circle the dealer room once, so I wasn’t able to say hi or have an extended conversation with a lot of folks – sorry! I tried to spend time with QCP and WNYSAC but I was pulled away a lot :O
I had the honor of being asked to be a panelist for cosplay basics. I will probably turn it into an article here soon. The audience was great! Then I was also a cosplay contest judge. There were a ton of great entries – the adult women’s division was especially difficult to decide!
I got to see some very good friends as well! My bestie Jamie from Rochester stopped by, Big Frank, Sally, and David also came! I enjoyed meeting all the new people. Some are even going to join WNYSAC
My Steampunk Star Lord went over surprisingly well. I always worry about my conceptual costumes LOL I even got a sketch of it for buying two prints from Under The Hood (I LOVE THESE GUYS). Word to the wise, wearing compression shirt and shorts under that costume was SMART!!!!! I have a few adjustments to make, but I am so wearing this again. Probably leave Rocket at home next time. Great for photoshoot ideas…not great for walking around with necessarily
All in all, it was a great time, but after doing the Food Truck Friday and the Ride for Roswell, I was 100% spent. My nap needs a nap! LOL
In other news, I need to replace my Injustice 2 Harley. Ive attempted to mend the pants and hopefully it will hold until I can get a replacement ;_;
Lots of Updates
Oooh long time no blog 🙁
So, since NFCC…
I turned 38 :O
I went to Flower City Comic Con for the first time on the 9th. Lots of great people!
I spent the following week building my steampunk star lord. Im waiting on one final mod part to come in and should be ready to go for the Cosplay Con on the 24th.
More later! 🙂
