So many congrats to the staff and cosplay department for putting on a great con and cosplay show, and congrats to the new Danish WCS, EuroCosplay, and ECG representatives!

A special thank you to Karina and her staff in the Cosplay department for having me there, and to my fabulous fellow judges Dario, Leandro, Sascha, and Bell, it would not have been the same without you! As well as meeting all the new friends Morten, Patrick, Iris, Benjamin, Niels, and so many others <3

Back from Coscon in Oslo, and it was simply fantastic – I want to extend a big thank you to the entire convention crew and attendees for making me feel so welcome in Norway! Congratulations to, Silje, Norway’s first EuroCosplay representative as well! :)

My next plans are J-popcon in Copenhagen, Denmark where I will be a Cosplay Guest and World Cosplay Summit Judge. I am extremely excited about this convention, and can’t wait to meet you awesome Danish cosplayers and amazing panel of international judges!

To keep up with my future cosplay plans also, see the Future Costumes page which I update regularly (but I can’t tell you which I’ll make yet ;P)

Not many updates have gone on to the website due to my international studies, I’ve had little to update with. However, I’ll be a cosplay judge at Coscon in Oslo, Norway this weekend!

I’ll be on a judging panel for the Norwegian EuroCosplay preliminary, as well as a skit judge, going on October 1st at the Oslo Kongressenter. If you’re coming to the convention, please feel free to stop by and say hello to me, I’m excited to meet Norwegian cosplayers and con-goers :) (and if you’re not, you should be going!) For more information, please visit: http://www.coscon.no/

Also, the Publications page has been updated, and a new costume from Anime Expo: Android 18 from Dragonball Z!

As you may have noticed, updates to the site have been sparse and inbetween, in part because I’m currently…living in Sweden! I’ll be here for 6 months finishing my second university degree, and while I probably won’t have time to make new costumes, I do hope to visit some European events. I have some wonderful news coming up that I’ll share as soon as possible about that!

In the meantime, my gallery is mostly updated, with new images for Guardian Force Siren and an updated Schedule of future events. Please remember to email me if you’re interested in having me attend a European cosplay event in your area, as I’m still open for booking~!

Hej då!

I’ve added new photos to the Guardian Force Siren, Princess Venus, the new costume Lily Rider, and Future Costumes!

I’ll have more photos and videos coming, but there’s a new one in the Videos section back from Katsucon by Ackson Lee featuring my Rosa Farrell that I forgot to add, whoops!

I got to debut 3 new costumes, but only got photos of 2… ce’st la vie! The first up however is a dream project of mine: Siren from Final Fantasy VIII! More photos are sure to come, but this is at least a proper preview.

Siren is now 99% complete, and I cannot contain my excitement to wear her after years of pondering undertaking this monstrous challenge. But until I get photos back, I do have site updates! Princess Venus has new photos up by Cosplayshots.com, Pirotess and Rosa Farrell have new photos by SolarTempest.

I was also featured as a cosplayer from around the world by Otaku House, you can view the interview here! I’m still in the Otaku House top 30 in their Idol Cosplay Contest, please vote for me by “Liking” the page and my image if you haven’t already. It’s a fun endeavor and we’ll see how far I can go :)

In addition, I was interviewed for Cosplay Blog with a Brain, and I wrote an article for them on Finding Cheaper Plane Tickets for Conventions. Hope it helps you guys and is informative!
