A Love Letter to Cosplay & Ideas for Beginner Costumes

Hey guys! Today I'm talking about how to use cosplay for self esteem; as well as, the negatives and positives in the cosplay community! Just a warning, the video has some saucy language. As mentioned in the video, here is Gwen's post on her experiences of self-esteem in the cosplay community, Cosplay & Self Esteem (A Response To Superheroesque)!

Ideas for First-Time Cosplay!

Iconic Characters | Iconic characters can be good first cosplays because they can be modded easily while still be recognized. For example, Wonder Woman can be made simply with a t-shirt, skirt and boots or her costume can be made super complex with detailed armor and a boned corset.

Crossover Cosplay | Crossovers is combining two series or two ideas into one costume. This can be commonly seen using Sailor Scouts mixed with other characters such as an Adventure Time Marceline Senshi. Crossovers don't have to be from two separates series, it could also be a style plus a character. For example, last year, Mia and I did Hipster versions of Adventure Time characters. (I'd love to see some more warrior/armored versions of any character, to be honest.)

American Cartoons | American cartoon characters tend to have super simple outlines and costumes making them easy to portray with any body type.

Closet/Casual Cosplay | Closet cosplay is what it sounds like, taking everyday items and fashioning them to be inspired by a certain character. Closet cosplay may be a good way to get used to dressing up as characters without making the full commitment of a costume!

P.S. - Tonight, Mia and I are going to be joining some fellow Female Geek Bloggers for a con-at-home G+ hangout, all about cosplay! We'll post a link to the hangout on Twitter with #FGBCosplay so keep an eye out.

Schedule Your Self-Love!

It's Liz here with your bi-weekly YouTube video! This week's subject? Schedule your self-love! In today's video, we discuss the importance of self love and why it should be prioritized!


As promised in the video, here are some tips to scheduling some self love!

1. Do you notice a natural lag in your week? Is there a certain day of the week that is just THE WORST? Adjust your schedule and shove a hour of self love in! Do it weekly! You should try and make it a habit to tell yourself that this time of self love is just as important as getting the groceries and should be treated as such by those around you and yourself alike. 
2. If you're a person who has a hard time with just naturally participating in self love activities, you can create a jar with pieces of paper that have different self love activities. Then have a calendar or some sort of phone alert to tell you when it's your self love time and pull a paper! It also adds some excitement to the process if you're into that sort of thing. (We're planning on doing a super-post one day about making a self-love jar! Hope you'll stick around to see it!)
3. Start your bedtime routine 30 minutes earlier! Then use the spare 30 minutes to wind down with a nice book, personal grooming, meditation, or even just writing out your thoughts for the day. (Also, writing out your thoughts for the day is really good for mental health and sleeping better, you should give it a try!)

Treat yo Temple!

Happy Monday guys! It's Liz here with your bi-weekly YouTube video! This week's subject? Treat your temple. It's a common thing to hear in anything regarding self-love or spirituality. I have always found it equally annoying and important. I have some different tips for taking care of your temple outside of eating veggies. I hope you enjoy!
