Con Review: Phoenix AGAIN?! (2013)

-
(Note: Thanks to a website glitch and by glitch I mean I clicked something wrong, I unpublished this on accident. Here is is again, a year and a half late I guess!)

Okay okay stop yelling at me, I'll finish updating! Gah!!
So I hope everyone has been doing well, I know most of you keep in touch on my Facebook page (COUGH HUNT COUGH Facebook.com/leahroseaz) and please keep/start doing that!! It's so easy!!

Anyway, Phoenix Comic Con 2013 went so SO much better than the last few years for me personally, though it was bananas.
This time, I personally worked three (!!!!!!) jobs this year, which I'm never ever trying again. It worked well only because the clients are all friends and knew what I was trying to do. First half of the day was with Media Collectibles, an hour and some with Cosplay Calendar, and then the last half of the day with Japanime Games. Hnnnng.

This was the time we got to surprise Aspen Comics with their three title women in their logo swimsuits (post script: this is where the Aspen cosplay love affair began yay), and I got to show Billy Tucci my Shi again. He drew the death kanji on my face too <3

Celebrity wise, I didn't run into anyone this year since I had zero free time- which is okay. I'm glad everyone understood why I was AWOL, but I am a bit disappointed that I didn't have the chance to hang out with anyone from my hometown. My buddy Kelly did a hysterical Gaston costume, I'm so mad I didn't get to see him hit on more women shamelessly.

Speaking of friends in costume, I also saw a lot of friends all over the place, both in the calendar and outside of it. I also had the awesome chance to take photos with tons of creators and friends and... you know what?

Photo post time. They tell their own story.

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
