What's New
June 12, 2020
Hello one and all. I know it has been a while since my last written update, but as I am sure all of you have noticed, the world has been going through some changes. With all of these changes has been my feeling of needing to react. I am proud to say that I have been able to donate around 300 masks to various agencies that have called out with a need. I am a part of two separate Covid 19 reopening committees, so that I can be a part of the problem solving portion of reopening theaters and schools.
On a personal matter, all of my current productions from March through the end of the summer have either been postponed or cancelled and my classes have either been cancelled or moved to an online format. This has been an odd adjustment, but has presented a new and interesting adventure. I am finding new ways to continue my education in Fashion, Historical Fashion, Sewing, Corsetry, and so much more. Since I am unable to share my knowledge with my students at this time, I am happy to go out and learn more, so that when I can sit down and teach again, I can give my students even more than before, and hopefully in new and different ways.
While my teaching and theater productions have had to take a backseat to current events, I am keeping sane by keeping my creative juices flowing! As of this message I have completed 5 new cosplays, and have several in various stages of completeness. I am proud to say that during all of this I was able to finish a costume that has been waiting for me since 2015! As I finish things I will be moving them to the complete costumes portion of the site, but professional photos won't be coming for a while, so bear with me.
I hope all of you are staying safe, staying sane, and staying creative. Keep your brain on it's toes! Write, draw, sew, photograph, sculpt, or whatever your passion is. Learn something new, perfect a skill, but don't stop learning and growing just because our lives are changing.

What is Cosplay?
Cosplay is the the activity or practice of dressing up as a character from a work of fiction (such as a comic book, video game, or television show)
"Sometimes people are miscast in life. They may appear to be dentists or clerks, but deep down they are actually fierce swordsmen or goddesses with devastating sex appeal. These true selves can emerge in the world of cosplay, the practice of impersonating characters from anime, manga, Japanese video games, and other realms of fiction."
