Here is my Velma Dinkley, along with a Velmaesque factoid: if I set my actual glasses down without remembering where I put them, I do indeed have to blindly search for them just like Velma. I try to avoid leaving them on the bed because I might sit on them without realizing they are there.

Thank you so much, Ann Arbor District Library, for hosting me yesterday for my Cosplay Wigs 101 presentation! I had a blast sharing my knowledge and experience with cosplay wigs with the attendees and it was wonderful to be able to answer their questions and help with their cosplay builds.

An Anna-versary photo of @forestsedge_studios and me! We were going to go to the beach today, but the 98° rain killed that. We instead spent the day playing games and eating farmers’ market corn, and now we are getting takeout. 😊 #amhcosplays #princessanna #disney #cosplay #happyanniversary

No, it’s not Photographer Friday, but it is our anniversary! I will try my best to share a few photos of my partner in crime and I being the solemn, reserved people that we are throughout the day. 😆 Happy anniversary, Forest’s Edge! #happyanniversary #photographer #cosplayer #amhcosplays #shehulk

It’s July 31st, which means that Halloween is three months from today, with the Day of the Dead soon after. I will start working on my fall cosplays next week! Contacts by @uniqso -- use code UNIQSOAMHC for a discount! #calavera #sugarskull #sugarskullmakeup #amhcosplays #lacalaveracatrina

“This is a Time-Turner, Harry. McGonagall gave it to me first term. This is how I’ve been getting to my lessons all year.” For #witchywednesday, here is my Hermione explaining how she can be in Arithmancy and Divination at the same time. #hermionegranger #harrypotter #cosplay #amhcosplays

For Trek Tuesday, here is my Star Trek Bulma! I used a simple dress pattern and a separate sleeve pattern. I kept my STTOS dress nearby and copied the neckline by hand. I had the Trek delta from the dress I modified into Mirror, Mirror Marlena Moreau, so I added that to complete the look.

I am excited to announce my return to Motor City Comic Con this fall! My fellow cosplay guests @kiraelric.bsky.social and @silvermoonart.bsky.social and I will be judging the craftsmanship contest and sharing our cosplay-themed panels throughout the weekend. I look forward to seeing you all!

For 60s Sunday, here is my 60s Poison Ivy. I envisioned her more with a Bardot hairstyle and makeup, plus a baby-doll dress, rather than as a full-out hippie. I’m working on a 30s Poison Ivy now, and the vibes have grown in nicely to shoot by them again. 😊 #60s #60spoisonivy #cosplay #amhcosplays

Five months until Christmas! Here’s my Christmas Black Canary, ready to take on all Scrooges and beat the bah humbug out of them. #blackcanary #christmascanary #dccomics #cosplay #amhcosplays

Happy #frozenfriday! Here’s my Frozen 2 Anna, wandering around in the Enchanted Forest. Frozen 3 comes out next year, and Disney has confirmed there will be a Frozen 4. Too many Frozens? #princessanna #frozen2 #disney #cosplay

It’s #witchywednesday once again! Here is my Prisoner of Azkaban Hermione, hanging out at Hagrid’s hut. I understand that people are excited for the HBO reboot, but I don’t see why a reboot is necessary. Yes, the films left out a lot, like SPEW and St. Mungo’s, but this happens all the time.

Fell asleep before I could post a second Harley photo yesterday, so here she is in her red “princess” dress from Corto Maltese. #harleyquinn #suicidesquad #dcuniverse #cosplay #amhcosplays

Guess whose birthday it is?!!! No, not mine. But according to the DC calendar, it’s Harley Quinn’s birthday! How do you think she would spend it? Tell me in the comments! #harleyquinn #happybirthdayharleyquinn #dccomics #amhcosplays #cosplay

Happy Miraculous Monday! Here’s version 1 of my Cat Noir. I am planning on buying a wig to upgrade this; I repurposed my old Power Girl as best as I could, but I really need a new one so I can style it correctly. I have a new wig for Cat Blanc, so I will do that one and see how that works.

Just another snowy day at Professor Xavier’s campus. And no, the cold never bothered me anyway. 😄❄️ I’m working on two more versions of Emma Frost, one with her cape and stiletto boots, and one based on her diamond form. #emmafrost #xmen #mutant #marvel #amhcosplays

It’s July 17, the day designated as Vampirella’s birthday, so here is the Princess of Drakulon in honor of her day! Contacts by @uniqso — use code UNIQSOAMHC for a discount on your own! #vampirella #cosplay #cosplayer #amhcosplays #co40

For TBT let’s take it back to Renaissance times with my Renaissance Poison Ivy! She’s using some of her nature magic here to bring spring to this part of the forest. #poisonivy #renaissance #renaissancepoisonivy #cosplay #amhcosplays

I’m excited to be working with the Ann Arbor District Library to present an introductory course on cosplay wig care and styling. Join me at 4 PM on Sunday, August 2 to discover the world of cosplay wigs! This event is open to anyone curious about cosplay wigs and wig styling!

Happy #wonderwomanwednesday, everyone! I was thrilled to discover that the clocktower my town is known for has gorgeous paneling and an ornate tin ceiling inside. Perfect for steampunk and Victorian shots! #wonderwoman #steampunk #steampunkwonderwoman #annarborwonderwoman

It’s Tia Pepa Tuesday! On days like today, I wish I had Pepa’s weather-control abilities. Here, we are going up to 105° with real feel. I hear California can use some rain and Yellowstone can use less snow. What a mess our world’s climate is in. #encanto #disney #pepamadrigal #cosplay #amhcosplays

Happy #marvelmonday! Sharing my Sue Storm at Motor City Comic Con to announce that I’ll once again be hosting the Superheroes and Villains meet-up at the Fall 2026 Motor City Comic Con! If you’re coming to MC3 as a hero or villain, be sure to join me for this fandom meetup!

Wrapping up Saiyan Sunday with my Saiyan Queen Bulma. This is the last of the unpublished photos of this cosplay. I’m thinking of creating a new version of Saiyan Queen Bulma, perhaps a formal gown. #bulmabriefs #saiyan #dragonball #dbs #cosplay

“I’m writing you a citation for disturbing the park wildlife.” My friend @sanseiphotography sent me a link to an Instagram post involving yet another moronic Yellowstone tourist — we rangers called these people “tourons.” This season alone, there have been publicized incidents of a touron …

For Saotome Saturday, here’s my Ranma Bunny from the episode where Ranma goes against Tsubasa in okonomiyaki sales. Looking forward to seeing what the new Ranma does with this episode! #ranma12 #ranmasaotome #ranma #ranmabunny #bunny

Happy #superherosaturday! In honor of SuperFriends, one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons, here are Wonder Twins Jayna and Zan. Looks like Zan is not pleased that his twin thinks he’ll drench her or something. Because of course Zan is as straightlaced as they come. 😄 Zan: @onemanspiderverse

It’s #frozenfriday once again! My Frozen Fever Princess Anna shoot turned out amazing, despite the fact that it was about 90° and ridiculously humid. We swore we’d never do an outdoor shoot in August ever again… but of course we forgot about that the following year. #princessanna #disney #frozen
