Hey guys!
I don't know about you guys but I really love the new scheduled submission feature on here.  I'm all about scheduling my posts for my social media the night before because I don't have a chance to do it during the day.  Hopefully this will allow me to produce a lot more new content to DA.  As I'm TERRI-BAD about updating DA on a regular basis.

Well a lot has happened since the last update!  The Wild Places happened and it was an amazing trip.  I'm so grateful to be apart of such an ambitious project.  Anna Fischer is still working on getting photos processed from the trip, but you can see a lot of them here: Wildplacesproject.com

Fanime has also come and gone since my last entry.  It too was a blast and whirlwind weekend.  I'm slowly getting photos back and I'm uploading them here (and every where else) as I get them.  But now for the real reason for a new entry!

Been busy working on new products for my cosplay accessory shop on Etsy and Storenvy.  I finally have the first batch live!  



All my products are also on Storenvy too! Windofthestars.storenvy.com  Plus I have three new prints available!


Finally I have SIX costumes for sale right now.  Please help me clean out my closet and make some money for future projects!  You can find these on windofthestars.Storenvy.com too.



Phew that was a lot!  See you guys at SDCC and I'll be vending in the artist Alley at Kintoki con! Come say hi!

XOXO,
Mel

Hi there everyone!

First off thank you to everyone that has supported the Wild Places KS.  It's finished now and we collected of 26K for the project.  I know Anna will make great use of it!  I'm super excited to be apart of this.  Got two new costumes in the works for it and I'm re-working some of my older stuff.  If you were apart of the KS you can keep track of all the happenings over on the Backers Blog: [link]

Anyways, cleaning out the cosplay closet to make room and add some extra funds to the cosplay project bank.  I have them for sale on my storenvy: [link]



Don't forget I have posters for sale too!

XOXO,
Mel

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be apart of Anna Fischer's The Wild Places photo project. Anna has started a kickstarter to raise money for this project that will take cosplay out of the convention halls and into the wild, wild west. I'm so lucky to be working with very talented photographer but also some amazing cosplayers as well. We all have some crazy and AMAZING things planned. There are still a couple days to help out, be a backer and get some cool swag for doing so. What to be bad ass backer or just want to follow the shinanngens of this project?

Each print is $10, but you can buy all 3 for $25. Shipping is flat rate to everywhere for $3. I'm only offering these three at this time, but if this goes well I'll offer more in the future!

P.S. Don't forget to add my new FB Page!
www.facebook.com/WindoftheStars

As I'm sure a lot of you heard, saw or even experienced, facebook did a massive purge on all cosplay accounts yesterday. Sadly mine was one of their targets. Sucky part was I was in the process of converting my normal cosplay account to a page!  What luck! Ugh. But I still have a FB page to use until things get sorted out.  Hopefully I can at least gain access to the old one and merge it into my current page.  Please feel free pass on the word that this is where you can find me now on FB.  I'll be working on updating all links.  Sorry everyone for your losses and the inconvenience.

In other news I have some shinny new photos of costumes to share with you all.  I'm excited and I can't wait!

Wow it has been a whirlwind summer so far! I feel like I just finished Fanime and then SDCC happened.

In short, SDCC was a freaking BLAST! I had such a great time with friends and made some really awesome new ones.  I also had the pleasure of working for the DC comics booth with a large group of very talent and beautiful cosplayers.  We got wear are out AmeComi costumes for the DC Collectibles Panel and then they had as at the booth for some time.  Here is a shot of some of our group being derpy!



On Friday I wore Huntress for the Kotobukiya booth.  I also got some great shots with Zak as Nightwing! Here's a at con shot.



Then in the evening on Friday we got to go to The Devil's Carnival show! We got to meet both Darren and Terrance.  The show was fantastic and I can't wait to go see it again in August! Of course we dressed as Painted Doll and Scorpion.



Saturday was jam packed! In the morning I wore classic Harley Quinn for the Kotobukiya booth.  It's always a blast to wear Harley.  Then in the afternoon I wore Female Captain America with ~Anti-Ai-chan.  We had a blast running around as Cap and Thor.  Of course more derpiness was had.



So that was pretty much SDCC!  I hope try and go next year, but things are really uncertain for next year's con schedule.  We are going to try and make it out to an east coast con, so we will have to sacrifice another con.  But, we'll see!  


TWITTER CONTEST!!
I'm getting SUPER close to a 1,000 followers on twitter.  As a thank you for all your great support, I'm putting on a twitter contest.  Once I reach a 1,000 followers I'll be giving away a signed print or $20 Etsy Gift card to my shop, winner's choice!  All you have to do to enter is Re-tweet this tweet: [link]

Good luck!
And keep an eye for more photos and news coming in the next few days!

XOXO,
Mel
