    I’M A BLACK COSPLAYER AND I’M JUST AS GOOD AS OTHER COSPLAYERS.

    I’M A BLACK COSPLAYER AND I’M JUST AS GOOD AS OTHER COSPLAYERS.

    When I was a child, I was taught “black is beautiful,” so it was a huge surprise to me growing up that black faces were not represented in common society.  When I turned on the TV, when I flipped through magazines, even when I read books, a sea of white faces stared back at me.…

    “But you’re just a dancer”

    “But you’re just a dancer”

    It seems like every other blog I’m ranting about my life as a performing artist.  Many people ask me why do I do it.  It’s simple; it’s something I love and something that I have a huge passion for.  I’ve been dancing since I was in diapers, taking any classes I could since I was…

    How I became teh kitteh at New York Comic-Con 2013

    My Top 10 Favorite NYCC 2013 Costumes

    My Top 10 Favorite NYCC 2013 Costumes

    Howdy!  Before I post my full New York Comic-Con recap, I figured I’d do a separate blog for my Top 10 favorite costumes!  To say there was a massive nostalgia bomb thrown is a bit of an understatement.  Among the Wonder Womans, Batmans and Powegirls, there were many amazing costumes that caught my eye and…

    Reasons Why “Let’s Rage” and “Gipsy Dharma” are awesome!

    Howdy!  I’ve participated in and have held quite a few “like & share” giveaways on Facebook, Twitter, etc and for many of them I either didn’t win, or never heard from any winners.  Needless to say, I became EXTREMELY skeptical about them.  In the past six months, I entered a giveaway from Let’s Rage! Clothing and…

    Monsters Ball Burlesque, New York Comic Con & Shenanigans

    Hello all!  This is my very first post on my bloggity blog.  I’m going to keep it short and simple.  This past Saturday I participated in Monsters Ball at Chief Ike’s Mambo Room in Washington DC, a Halloween themed burlesque show unlike any I’ve ever been in or seen before.  Put together by the fantastic Indiana’s Jewels with prosthetic makeup…
