Today we celebrate 250 years of Jane Austen ✨

Her stories have shaped how we imagine the world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and through countless film and TV adaptations, her name has become inseparable from the neoclassical style of the era.

Game over.



The Machine was my 13th Amiga related cosplay. The design is my interpretation that mixes the character’s appearance in the intros of Turrican 2 & 3 with inspiration from other sources, mainly the classic Borg.



This is my biggest costume project to date: it took me 980 crafting hours over 1 year. There was no 3D printing involved, just manual armour making with EVA foam and making use of a whole lot of bits and pieces like old computer chips and cellphone parts.



The Turrican helmet prop is from my 2nd Turrican suit that I made back in 2016.



The photo was taken by void256 and edited by me.

I dressed as a rustic cowboy for this year’s Halloween party at my martial arts school.

It wasn’t my most elaborate costume, but I really enjoyed myself.

Step 1: make a roller derby panty for my bike helmet. Fuck it, actually make two so I can…

Step 2: make one large eyeball and seven small eyeballs so the panty can be reversible because I’m extra af.

I had cut the irises and pupils as perfect circles (I have an accuquilt for the literal only purpose of cutting perfect circles) and then decided to use the flower shape for the pupils so it’s slightly irregular and looks not-quite-right. Then hand stitched the pupils to the irises to enhance the irregularity. Next will be sewing them onto the panty, hemming it, and it’ll be done.

Ok on to the eyeball.

😁Before teaching SPARTA Strength at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose, I had to coach this guy through a few basics. He’s clearly skipped leg day… and every other day!

Halloween here is looking extra spirited! 👻💪🏾

Hi to all my new and old followers and fellow Amiga fans!



I’m back from Amiga40. I’ll post about the event soon, but first I have a lot of photos to go through and thoughts to sort out. Spoiler: the event was fantastic!



In the meantime, here’s a great photo of The Machine, taken by Rudolf Stember. Seeing all the photos and hearing the overwhelmingly positive feedback has been really rewarding. This cosplay took me 980 hours to make, but it was worth it.

"It might seem silly, but the whimsical approach is working. Not only is the #inflatable protesting menagerie spreading to other cities where #ICE is brutalizing residents seemingly for fun, it’s just the kind of thing that could humiliate the faux tough guys both hiding behind their masks and in the White House."

I love the inflatable costume resistance, but I just can't handle the loss of mobility / field of vision.

So instead, I present to you: The Headband Resistance™, launching just in time for cold weather!

Full disclosure: I did not make this glorious frog masterpiece. Shoutout to my bestie’s mom for her elite crafting skills. Thank you, Alt Mom! 🐸✨
