Checking out the Breakfast Club before spending money at Maegers and Quinn (you know, to support actual Uptown businesses), and the elderly gentleman next to us at the bar asked about my We Keep Us Safe shirt - is that the police? No, no it is not 🙃

I basically spend all year anticipating Star Trek: The Cruise. It’s not deep, but it’s a distraction from *waves hand vaguely at everything.* Levar Burton a guest in 2027, and I am beside myself. Currently assembling an army of geordi bears add to the rainbow bookmarks I’m making.

CONvergence cosplay prep supervised by Mr. “I ate 5 feet of ribbon that required $8k of surgery, what do you mean I can’t be left alone with raffia.” Working on e4 and e8 Widow’s Bay Patricias - spell books and creepy crowns and tasers and shotguns oh my! Kyle gets to closet cosplay Tom.

Me: it’s been an exhausting year, I’m not going to do any costumes or ribbons for CONvergence, and just keep it low key Also me: *hyperfocuses on Widow’s Bay and thrifts as many Patricia costumes as I can over the next 3 weeks*

Heyyyy it’s that day where your friends in the twin cities once again won’t shut up about Prince. My contribution is my favorite punny costume - Purrple Rain, done for CONvergence 2021.

A cosplayer strikes a pose wearing a costume mashup of prince as a cat.  She has a long purple leopard print jacket, a ruffled skirt, and orange cat makeup.  She has a cat scratcher guitar slung over her shoulder Bild

I’ve been dreaming of a space themed piercing set up for years, and it’s all coming together with this custom hidden helix piece from BVLA. Working with the folks at Bevel Minneapolis, I may not have lived out my childhood dream of going to space, but I can wear that kid’s wonder and hope every day.

A right ear, backed by bright orange hair.  It has a hidden helix piercing with stars and a blue sapphire, as well as a conch piercing with an astronaut earring.  There is also a sun tragus piercing, a little Saturn on the lobe, and a rainbow looking opal hanging from the primary lobe piercing A close up of the new hidden helix jewelry - a shiny large star cz, a small alexandrite star, 2 bezel czs, and a bar sapphireA different angle of the full ear, showing off the astronaut earring in the conch piercing

As we teeter on the brink of nuclear WW3, please find a little joy in just how proud this little guy is of his handy work. He yelled at us until we followed him to the bathroom, and then rolled around the floor purring with pride

Kitten posting will continue until morale improves. Did I tell ya’lll that this little asshole ate 5 feet of ribbon the day before we were supposed to leave for our Star Trek Cruise? Luckily caught it before we left and got Roan into emergency surgery. His nickname is now Gold Pressed Latinum.
