Happy New Year everyone!!
Now to start, I know everyone makes New Year's Resolutions and never follows through, but I've never made them before so this time will be a bit different.
My partner and I sat down and wrote out all of our goals for this year which of course involve the usual suspects like weight loss, get out of debt, etc. But it's so much more than that.
For a while now I haven't been very happy with my appearance, so I have set up a regime (which I trialled last year with success) to help me lose the weight. I will be setting each con as markers in the year and pushing myself to lose a certain amount of eight by these events. I won't go into specifics because this type of goal shouldn't be broadcasted all over the internet, it's something I'm doing to be more happy with myself.
Then of course there's the cosplay goals. This year I really want to step it up!
I want to start selling prints, doing a lot more charity work, collaborate with more cosplayers, work with heaps of photographers, take my costumes to the next level, and basically work and work on my costumes until I'm 100% happy with them. That means no more last minute costuming, I've set myself a goal to have everything finished at least a week in advance.
I'll be keeping my page and this blog much more updated (at least one post a fortnight) and keeping communication open between my "fans" and I.
If you see something in my cosplay portfolio that you like and you want some help to recreate it, just ask :) I'm more than happy to offer advice on pieces that i've made.
This year means big things for me in cosplay as well. I have been drawing and redrawing my design for Spyro the Dragon since I began cosplaying and I will finally be making it a reality. I've also got a few pair/group cosplays planned but always looking to get involved with more people :)
Back to the point about doing more charity work, I'm super-duper keen to do this after making $770 for the Look Good Feel Better Charity from our Bombshell Calendars :D Feels good giving back and doing something meaningful with my cosplay and I wanna continue that.
I really want to meet more people and make new friends this year so don't be afraid to chat to me, because being such an introvert, it's more than likely i want to talk to you, but I'm too shy :P
Hope to see you all at upcoming cons and hope you like what I produce this year :)
Keep on sewing
Bloom xoxo
