QUI EST-ELLE?

Suspended in disbelief. Frequently breaking the fourth wall. Collector of novelty watches and Kewpie dolls. I run Fashion Tips From Comic Strips and I am the resident superheroic sartorialist on ComicsAlliance.

This one time, I wore a Snorlax Dress. This other time, I was in an Art Brut video. THE END.

Are any of you going to Super MegaFest this month?
Super MegaFest is a small convention at the Sheraton in Framingham with a growing cosplay presence and some really great vintage dealers. Since we had a blast at Super MegaFest last year, AK & I will be covering the event again (mostly, photographing cosplayers, stalking Traci Lords & Kevin Sorbo, and splurging on replica weapons). Be sure to say hi if you spot us! :D
Super MegaFestNovember 17 - 18, 2012@ Sheraton Framingham Hotel [Framingham, MA]

A thing that we’re going to in a couple weeks.

In which, one week ‘til New York Comic Con.
Who’s going? :D
P.S. If any of you are hoping to track me down next week (since I’m not even sure if I’ll get to cosplay this year), be sure to follow me on Twitter.P.P.S. And if you do find me at NYCC, don’t be shy - say hi! Seriously - I promise that I’m nice in person. I also promise that saying hi is infinitely less awkward than sending me a message after the convention, explaining how you were going to say hi but then you got scared and ran away and decided to send me a message explaining why you didn’t say hi. I DOUBLE-PROMISE.

fyi my plans next week

Finally got around to uploading my photos from the MoCCA Festival a couple weeks ago! I was only there for a couple of hours this year, but I ran into some lovely ladies~

I also ran into Andra and Jill, and I saw Chan from afar, but sadly, I didn’t get photos with any of them :(

Who’s excited for Free Comic Book Day tomorrow (May 5th)?
For those of you in the Boston area, I will be guarding New England Comics in Coolidge Corner as Black Bat. Feel free to swing by, say hi, and grab some free comics :D
Not in the area? Find a participating store near you!

In case you were wondering where I’ll be tomorrow…

For my local civilians, keep an eye out for the Boston Comic Con 2012 commercial (featuring my crazy comic-devouring eyes). A big thank you to I Hunger Productions and Boston Comic Con for including me in this year’s TV spot!

P.S. Who else going to Boston Comic Con?

IMDABES

But for serious now - who else is going to Boston Comic Con this weekend? Let’s party.

Just a handful of artifacts from years of conventions and babysitting city-crushing monsters…
Unfortunately, this excludes wristbands/hand stamps/ticket stubs from all of the smaller cons.
