Response to Gizmodo’s Article “My Brief OkCupid Affair With a World Champion Magic: The Gathering Player”
Today someone sent me this article from Gizmodo. At first glance I thought, “Wow, a fun article about dating a pro MTG player”. And then I thought, “Holy crap! She went out with Jon Finkel! How awesome!”. Even as a casual magic player, I had read about him at some point or another and even wiki’d him. But after reading this, I am pretty disappointed and appalled at “my kind”.

Wearing Dresses with Sneakers
Ever since the “Stingray incident” from my trip to San Diego Comic Con, I’ve been having issues with my foot.

Well, although it was extremely snug, an idea for my next cosplay was born. Two months later, I was cutting all…

Cosplay Tutorial: Wonderflex Headpiece
Now, onto the part of the cosplay that I was dreading – making the She-Ra crown/headpiece. How would this stay on the entire day? Would it make my wig fall off? Could I wear this without looking ridiculously foolish? I definitely did not want to discover my photo on the Cosplay Hall of Shame sites.

Cosplay Tutorial: Wonderflex Arm Bands!
While researching what type of material to use for armor, I came across Kamui Cosplay’s blog, which blew me away! Her craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing and her WOW cosplays are to die for! Turns out she uses a lot of Wonderflex in her costumes. So after doing some reading up on the stuff, I decided to buy a large roll of Wonderflex (free shipping too) since I figured it might come in handy for future cosplays.
