to Just Believe, a cosplay website by Gale. Cosplay, much like acting, rolepalying, or childhood games of make-believe allows its participants become other people and possibly even travel to other worlds. That is the point and meaning of the work and experiences showcased in the pages of this website. Let it be a window into the magical world that is cosplay, as seen through one girl’s eyes. Please enjoy your stay here, and feel free to contact the webmistress with any questions or comments.

I’m back! The past three months have been insane, but I feel I have grown incredibly as an actor, performer, designer, and even as a person. I am more ready than ever to jump back into the cosplay world, though. Next on the list is Sailor Moon, which I’ll be making for the Connecticon Cosplay Musical III. I’m excited. I’ve always wanted to make that costume! I’ve made a couple other subtle changes on the website too, mostly revamping the “planned costumes” section to be a little more realistic and immediate as opposed to the many dreams I hope to some day achieve. Keep an eye out for lots more from me this year. I plan on attending PortCon Maine this year and may even stop by Anime NEXT for a bit, but I’m still on the fence with that until I figure out how financially capable I am. As always you can be sure to catch me at Connecticon, but we all know that’s still months away. In any case, I’m THRILLED to be back. I missed you guys.

As of January 27 I will be studying at the Eugene O’Neill National Theater Institute for three months. While there I will be incredibly busy and have next to no internet access. In other words, I am taking a short break from the cosplay world. This website, as well as my participation in any and all aspects of cosplay and congoing, will be on hold until I return in May. In other words, yes I will be missing Anime Boston and ConBust. I look forward to seeing everyone once again this summer, though, and wish you all luck in your endeavors until then.

New Layout! I got some awesome photos from Shiva at AAC and couldn't help but use one and show off my Aeris costume on the main page. I also added a link to the album for my Ino photoshoot with David Ng at AAC. Made a few minor updates to the "about me" page (RIP Misty and Motor) and added some pictures to the Aeris page too. Expect an AAC album and some other miscellaneous backlogged stuff from summer until now to appear in the near future. It really all depends on how busy I am with schoolwork, etc.

Major update! I think I may have made one sort of edit or another to every single main page and a handful of the costume pages too! Check out my four new costumes from this year and also the Anime NEXT and Connecticon galleries on the conventions page.

Connecticon is coming up July 13-15! If you’re coming, please find time to stop by the Cosplay Musical, because it’s going to be awesome! I really can’t wait for this weekend. I've got almost all my costumes done, so I'm pretty excited. I've been incredibly busy lately and will continue to be for the next week, but after that I should be doing a bit of an overhaul on the site soon as I have a chance with lots of new costumes and pictures from AN and CTcon.

Added two new planned costumes and a new link. Progress on current costumes is slow, but hopefully I’ll be able to get them done in time for CTcon.

Updated the links page with a couple new cosplay sites, as well as some new link banners of my own made by Shiva.
