Star Wars Summers
With today being the last day of September (and maybe me still trying to hold on to the warm California weather), today’s outfit features yet another favorite piece from Junk Food Clothing. Although you can find Junk Food shirts here and there online, I have a tip to share with you. One of the best places to find some really unique Star Wars pieces from Junk Food is actually in Disneyland! Both the Star Trader store in Disneyland and the…

The Making of Lady Vader
I knew the minute I saw this anime Lady Vader art that I wanted to cosplay the costume. However, when I started to show my friends, I got a few concerned “Wow, that’s ambitious!” comments.

Preparing for the Comic Con Storm
I know that it’s been a while since my last post, but if you’ve been following me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, you’ll know that I’m hard at work on my Lady Vader cosplay! I pretty much spent my entire July 4th weekend using Bondo, then sanding, Bondo, sanding, rinse, repeat (see pics after the jump). I think I got a pretty good workout (and tan) sanding for hours in 95 degree weather and I hate to say it, but
