Caption this... 🍄 But seriously, this is me in my natural state. I can pass out anywhere, any time. And I’m always looking for the coziest places to squeeze in a cat nap. 😻 In love with ALL the photos from the collaboration with Adam Courtney and Gabs and will be posting a couple over the next days. We just got together at Forgotten Works Studio with no ideas in mind (except I was adamant about the 🍄 hat) and let our minds and hands go to work to pick out costumes and build the set. The best kind of play date ❤️

I’ve been wanting to cosplay Princess Mononoke for SO long and decided two weeks before Comic Con that it should be “easy enough” to pull off. She looks simple, but woof, there were a LOT of pieces that put her together! The mask on its own took 4 days to make and the fact that I don’t know how to sew didn’t really help 😅 The night before the con, I had SO much still to do. Thank goodness for .live.creative who let me use her sewing machine and gave me a crash course in how to sew. Ya’ll... I finally got over my fear of sewing machines (yes, I’m serious) and this wolf hood is the first thing I’ve ever sewn in my life 🥳 Then there was .roldan who swooped in that night and stayed up with me until 4AM to finish everything. 😭 I am so freaking grateful for my community of fabulously creative people! I seriously would not have been able to go to Comic Con with this character if it weren’t for these incredible ladies 🥰 Also huge thanks to for creating such incredible video tutorials on how to make this cosplay from start to finish ✨✂️⚡️

I get to borrow these legs every once and a while and explore what it is to be on land. Good thing I blended right into the Mermaid Parade ✨🧜🏻‍♀️
