Caption this... 🍄 But seriously, this is me in my natural state. I can pass out anywhere, any time. And I’m always looking for the coziest places to squeeze in a cat nap. 😻 In love with ALL the photos from the collaboration with Adam Courtney and Gabs and will be posting a couple over the next days. We just got together at Forgotten Works Studio with no ideas in mind (except I was adamant about the 🍄 hat) and let our minds and hands go to work to pick out costumes and build the set. The best kind of play date ❤️

Raised by wolves. 🐺

I’ve been wanting to cosplay Princess Mononoke for SO long and decided two weeks before Comic Con that it should be “easy enough” to pull off. She looks simple, but woof, there were a LOT of pieces that put her together! The mask on its own took 4 days to make and the fact that I don’t know how to sew didn’t really help 😅 The night before the con, I had SO much still to do. Thank goodness for .live.creative who let me use her sewing machine and gave me a crash course in how to sew. Ya’ll... I finally got over my fear of sewing machines (yes, I’m serious) and this wolf hood is the first thing I’ve ever sewn in my life 🥳 Then there was .roldan who swooped in that night and stayed up with me until 4AM to finish everything. 😭 I am so freaking grateful for my community of fabulously creative people! I seriously would not have been able to go to Comic Con with this character if it weren’t for these incredible ladies 🥰 Also huge thanks to for creating such incredible video tutorials on how to make this cosplay from start to finish ✨✂️⚡️

Thanks for all the 💓 on yesterday’s photo!! Here’s one more for the road of the complete look where I combined last year’s mermaid wear with some new shades and my Diamond Cosplay wig. Can we make holographic wigs a thing?? 💖 Give this a like if you’re catching that glare 🌟

I’m seriously obsessed with this hat by and had to steal it for a couple shots since it matched my theme so well 😁 The holographic wig was something I made for a cosplay named Diamond and I’m so happy I got to reuse her for this mermaid concept. 🌟🧜🏻‍♀️ Although someone said I made quite a lovely jellyfish so now my head is spinning with ideas 💖

I get to borrow these legs every once and a while and explore what it is to be on land. Good thing I blended right into the Mermaid Parade ✨🧜🏻‍♀️

How did we get here? The past year has been packed with exploration, community, and creativity and I can’t help to feel like this summer has many more magical days and nights in store 💫Thanks & for creating the incredible space and party for Persephone’s Odyssey 💕

This Polly Pocket purse is so freaking cute and is the perfect new home for my makeup. 💖 With the Sailor Moon makeup brushes, I’m just in cuteness overload right now 😍 But, I’m really not complaining ✨🌙

That window lighting tho... ☀️

Wow is it good to be home! NC was incredible and I loved helping my family with their new inn (show some love .inn). But there is nothing like being back in my sun soaked studio. ☀️ Where are my creatives at this weekend? 🎨✂️🧵
