⚓ My wife and I made a zine about sailor tattoos from the 1800s that indicated interest in fellow men: https://swanpress.itch.io/gay-sailor-tattoos. (Note that some of the tattoos are raunchy, of course.)
Should be fun if you enjoy #queerhistory (it's fully cited!), or if you're into historical #cosplay. We're hoping people who like #OFMD enjoy it, because that was part of the inspiration for our research. 🏴☠️
It's #NationalSuperheroDay and I have made at least 100 superhero costumes over the past 15 years + I could share any of them, but I've had the same favorite superhero since I was 4 years old. She used to lead the Avengers, you know. Captain Marvel herself, Monica Rambeau 🖤🤍 💫 #CaptainMarvel#Photon#Spectrum#MonicaRambeau#cosplay
I have just seen this Octopus Blanket on Design Ideas Hub, and the whole conundrum about whether to do some massive cosplay party night or just hang around eating Pot Noodle and watching telly under a blanket at home just vaporised.
Happy #N7Day friends! I'd like y'all to keep in your hearts & minds all of the developers & actors who work hard to create these games we love so much. Give them your support & compassion as they fight for fair treatment & fair compensation in their industries. Truly, it is the LEAST we can do. ❤
Don’t know if there is much interest in costuming on Mastodon yet, but these are our costumes from the recent Costume Con 42. Tom Servo and Pearl Forrester from #mst3k.
Tom Servo was over 9 feet tall, and I was using a camera and virtual glasses to see where I was going. #costuming#cosplay
Why yes, as a matter of fact it IS a voodoo doll...
LeChuck cosplay from Monkey Island 2 made and worn by me, photography by TLF aka Guybrush, editing by both of us. I have two more new LeChuck photos to show, so let me know if you like this one (:
Our last Batman Day spotlight is a Batfamily team up! The Smoke and Knightmage are two of the most prolific cosplayers I know--I have over 100 costumes and they have me beat 😂 but it's not a competition--it's all love. Two things we all have in common, we do this because we love it, and spreading positivity is really important to each of us. Thanks for the memories fam. Happy Batman Day ♥️ #batmanday2023#BatmanDay#batman#batgirl#robin#cosplay
Hot pink Phoenix set. I love this fantasy creature so much, the story of the magical bird rising from the ashes is so inspiring. This handmade phoenix necklace is available in my little shop:
A candid 📸Geek Girl Con snagged of me right before I went back onstage to announce the winners of the costume contest ✨I had an absolute blast hosting the event & I want to thank GGC for having a great mask & vaccine policy to make it safer so we could all have a good time, as well as having a wheelchair accessible stage, wheelchair accessible vendor hall and panel rooms, and ASL translators for the event! 💖 #cosplay#GeekGirlCon#accessibility
A great shot by @BlackICEBBS of my newest cosplay, zombie LeChuck from Monkey Island 2, at Amiga38 this weekend. I had such a great time there and was delighted to be cosplaying as a duo this time. The pirate gang will return!
Got out and around for #Halloween tonight with a friend of mine for the first field test of the #Stormtrooper gear - got a lot of waves from the ladies so clearly the girls love the bad boys. Wore it for about 2 hours, so a few observations:
Getting in or out of a car without assistance is impossible
Armor pinches quite a bit
Upper back strain started about 90 minutes in
Headache from visegrip helmet foam started about 105 minutes in
New handmade sets available in my shop. You can also choose individual items from every set, and it's all adjustable, climate friendly and available for worldwide delivery 🥰❤️

I just made a fiery phoenix necklace. I'm really excited about this piece and absolutely can't wait to send it to someone awsome. It's fiery glass nature compliments this incredible mystical creature. Fantasy lovers, this one's for you 🔥❤️✨️
TLF and I did several cosplay photo shoots during our trip to AmiCamp in Athens. This is one of the results. Except for the gun prop, I put this costume together more than 15 months ago already, so I’m very happy to finally have presentable pictures of it.

May the Force be with you friends! I hope to see some of you at Star Wars Celebration Japan next year! I will definitely be bringing at least 2 new cosplays....and one classic favorite 💕Throwback to my 1st Jedi cosplay for #MayThe4th! Fun facts: I hand sewed my Bastila Shan costume while on a cross country tour + finished JUST in time for Celebration 😮💨When I asked this Revan cosplayer for a photo he turned & said 'oh, it's my wife! Sure!!" 😂❤ #StarWars#Kotor#cosplay
Hey, fuck it, I'm on a cosplay vibe and my Google Photos just showed me some old convention photos. And you know what? My CHU² cosplay was heckin' cool.
