My friend Paul and I chat about YouTube, getting subscribers, and breaking the 4th wall. I also interrupt him with Hamilton references...so that happens. Enjoy!

BroadwayCon NYC 2016 Cosplay - Day Two - Saturday
Day two of BroadwayCon started off amazingly. I got to meet actor Anthony Rapp, the origional 'Mark' in RENT. Mark is one of my dream roles (If there ever were a gender-bent production of RENT, heck, I'd even crossdress to play the roll.) I've loved the musical since I was in high school and it really was such a great experience meeting Anthony. He asked me where I was from and I told him California. "So this snow thing is new for you!" he said. That day there was a blizzard that closed the roads and subways(!!)Breaking the Forth Wall - video
Watch as I explain how to break the forth wall on YouTube...and than proceed to do that very thing. I get a little real and a little uncomfortable (and I almost scrapped all the footage) but the response has been positive so far. I hope to see more YouTubers breaking the forth wall every now and then.
Jemima (Cats) - BroadwayCon 2016
This costume was a long time coming, I wanted to make a 'proper' Jemima costume for years and with the new BroadwayCon happening, I finally had a real deadline. I sewed the unitard myself after painting the pieces with fabric paint. The shoulder fluffies are frayed organza. The wig is made of kanekalon hot glued onto a wig cap made out of control top pantyhose. The leg warmers I knitted and the tail is made from yarn that I wrapped together. The gloves are store bought and painted and the shoes are my old jazz shoes from over 10 years ago. I wore her twice at BroadwayCon and that's it so far. I'm really proud.Jemima Makeup - BroadwayCon 2016 Saturday
BroadwayCon Saturday, around 10:15am (after getting a photo with Anthony Rapp!) I ran up to my hotel room and these photos are from moments after finishing the makeup. My line work was not superb and it was a bit rushed, but I'm not too disappointed with it. I also used fake eyelashes which bring some extra to it. (Though my trial makeup might have been a bit better honestly.) I did get loads of compliments on it, so I was satisfied. Click here to see the full costume!
BroadwayCon NYC 2016 - Day One - Friday
School of Rock - BroadwayCon 2016 Thursday
What better way to start off my BroadwayCon blog series than with a 'way hardcore' photo of me hanging out with Alex Brightman of School of Rock at the stage door.Playbill & Performances Collection - AND A GIVEAWAY!
Video time! Here is my Playbill & Performances Collection and a giveaway at the end. (I also ramble about my love of CATS at the start for a bit, humor me, kthanksbye!)
PreBroadwayCon Jemima Trial
After finishing my Jemima costume (days before BroadwayCon) I knew I had to try out Jemima makeup since it'd been so long since I'd done it last. (apparently not since the lol cats video back in 2012!)The makeup is a combination of daily wear makeup, oil based, and water based makeup. My goal was fast application, knowing I was going do be doing it in the middle of the morning on the second day of the con. I was very happy with the results! Enjoy the rest of the photos (and a sneak peak at my costume!)BroadwayCon NYC 2016 - Videos
*dusts off the blog*
Hey. So the above is a photo of me I took on January 1st. I was in Denver, Colorado visiting my cousin and her moms and also my Swedish family who were in town to visit as well. Before that I spend about two weeks in California for Christmas. I decided not to blog the whole trip or even keep up with my YouTube channel and to just relax.
Not that I had been really keeping up with blogging much recently as it is. In fact the last 6 months (ever since moving) I've been pretty absent from the internet (relatively) and despite the additional time I seem to be getting less done. My BroadwayCon cosplay prep is partially to blame but so is my mental health. I don't want to get too much into it but it's been rough.
I do want to get back on the proverbial horse as it were. I will post my new years goals (not resolutions, real change takes time) here soon and I do want to be generally more present in social media circles I used to frequent. BroadwayCon is this month so I expect to be back in full force come February. (with a new project, more on that later!) Until then, think of this post as the first of my slow climb back to the world of blogging. I'd love to re-connect with you, how was your new years? Hint: I'd love to hear in a comment ;)
