Comic Con highlights!

-
Ohdearlordy. Phoenix Comic Con was way too much fun! I'm gonna save myself some time and tell you all to go to my facebook to see the photos from it- there are waaaaaay too many to post, you know?

There were a few not so great parts, all more personal issues instead of really Con ones, so on to my favorite parts!

1. Made some amazing friends at Hi-Fi Digital Color! Great big company that works on coloring for comic books of all sorts- the two dudes I met showed me all the pages they worked on in the books they had on display. It was amazing. I had almost forgotten how seriously I considered going into coloring when I was in LA, but that fell through- maybe now I can really do something with it! On top of that, I booth babed it up for them and we could maybe turn that into a more srs thing, since they're only based in Phoenix! But other than business, the guys and 2 girls I met through the table are supersweet and I'm sure we'll be friends for a long time. <3

2. I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE.... with my Amber costume. Mhmm. And the Dr. Horrible group we had was the most amazing thing ever, Moist even had a squirt bottle and soggy program. <3 <3 And, in my Slave Leia costume at Geek Prom, Adam Baldwin took a photo of my butt  O.o   Only found that out after the fact. I'm.... honored?

3. I found the Rogue doll I wanted since I was tiny! AND I even got it autographed by Michael Golden, the guy who created Rogue- issue 10 of Xmen was her first appearance and ALL him.

4. Met Wil Wheaton and he's the best thing since sliced bread. He signed me and my friends boobs (not our REAL boobs, but right over the shirt line, you know? LOL) And then he blessed my d20 with his Wesley Crusher powah, but then I started rolling 1 and 2 on it! So I took it back and we dueled it out- old school D&D style! I won.... only because I spent a fate point.

5. Interviewed one of the greatest girls I think I could have possibly hired, and recruited three more. ZOMG WIN


That's all I can really think about right now, I know there was so much more, but I have a migraine coming on from the bad lighting in here so I'm gonna call it a day for now. Photos on facebook! Go lookie!

Okay, you knew that. I know, whatever. But I just kinda was thinking about my name. Weird, I know, right? So yesterday Mom and I found my old Princess Leia ornament for the tree. SO rockin. Anyway, I asked her if she even thought about that correlation when she named me- Star Wars didn't come out too much earlier than me! But nooooo, she says. She had no idea, she says. Haha, Not like I really mind. It's just kinda strange to have an unintentional pop-culture reference for a name. I mean, my name isn't even technically pronounced like that. It's Lee-uh, not Lay-uh. Even my bossman- the other day he called me to ask me something, and someone asked who he was talking to, and he said me and said my name correctly... but he had to mispronounce it for the person to know who he was talking about. I mean, that's like... .... dangit. I had a good comparison. But then I lost it. Um. Um. Um. ... Yeah, it's gone. ANYWAY I guess it's like having an accen

What I wish I could say at work

-
First world problem, I know. At least I have a job, at least I'm not car-less and completely broke. I even have a job doing nerdy things at a fun place and get free drinks all day. But dear God sometimes I want to punch a baby. We already have rules posted at the shop- nothing specific enough to make people stop acting like ill-bred children or d-bags, but rules nonetheless. The ownerbossman made them though, and he's not always there to see what the issues really are, and what the regulars already know and are good about. So basically what we have isn't doing jack. It's also mostly in regards to treating other customers, not about the employees, which is a little... odd... and sucks for me. Granted, I know why a lot of the things we want to say can't be said- there's no way to put a lot of this delicately and we don't want to lose any customers. But I want to say it anyway.

Update, Patreon, and Getting it Together

-
Hi friends! Thanks for coming and peeking over here, I know facebook is a lot easier to check in on but we all know how FB feels about long posts, keywords, and basically anything other than not taking my money, hahaha/sad Anyway, let's just jump into it- my announcement for today is I'm beginning a Patreon account. My emotions on Patreon are pretty conflicted a lot of times, I have to be honest, and I'm sure you can understand what I mean if you've been online and seen all the backlash that some people get from starting Patreons. I've always been afraid that my work wasn't good enough, consistent enough, or popular enough to warrant anything like this. But then my personal (financial and time restraint)  circumstances changed, and my options were: 1. Stop cosplay nearly entirely, disappoint you and myself, and lose something that brings me and many other people a spark of joy.  or 2. Ask for help, be able to continue, and with the money that I receive
