Why Did I Create ClosetFreaksBlog?
I created my blog because quite frankly I love cosplay and I have exhausted every community out there, I wanted something shiny and new. I love how inclusive this world is and finding new people like me is joyous, the only downside is that I couldn’t find a place where there’s a real person with a real love for cosplay behind the blog, I struggled to find anywhere that wasn’t glitzy pictures of costumes I couldn’t afford. So after telling my small group of friends about my struggles I figured why not make my own blog? Fill it with costumes and advice, fill it with the things I want to read about and I want new and old cosplayers to read about. So that’s exactly what I did.
How I Got Into Cosplay
Since I was a child I loved dressing up, getting my outfit together, pretending to be someone I wasn’t. I would dress up as Disney characters, my favorite film characters, superheroes, and villains. I had an eye for it and I just loved putting my outfit on and transforming myself into this new person.
From there my passion grew and grew with me and as I improvised with things around my home a lot of the time I earned money and started buying the real deal, it progressed into a hobby not just a passion for me. My parents would buy me costumes and accessories and before long I found groups of people like me, people who enjoyed cosplay and dress-up and I knew it was meant for me.
Why I’m In Love With Cosplay & Dressing Up
Cosplaying and dressing up allows me to really feel like myself and more importantly, be myself. As an adult I love the process of purchasing a new outfit, putting it together with makeup and hair, shoes, accessories, and bringing that character to life. It’s a great way to express myself and show my appreciation to a show, character, or community.
As an adult, I also love the events, the sense of community, the attention, and just about everything else that comes with it. I love putting my money into these outfits and characters, it’s so much for fun for me and I can’t see myself stopping any time soon.
Who I Enjoy Cosplaying As The Most
I dress-up a lot, I have two full closets filled with costumes and accessories, I don’t just stick to one outfit and I know a lot of people do but the fun for me is transforming into something new whenever I feel like it.
– D.va (Overwatch)
-Wonder Woman
-Nishikino Maki
– Alice In Wonderland
These are just some examples that came to my head first, I cosplay so many different characters that it can be hard to keep track!
The Cosplayers I’m In Awe Of
I love all cosplayers, I don’t care if you make a little effort or go full-out with your costume, I just love seeing people getting involved. However, there are some people who do make me stand there gawping with my mouth wide open. I love you all so this isn’t disrespecting anyone else but these are the cosplayers I look up to with some of my outfits:
Where Is ClosetFreaksBlog Located And Where Do I Live?
Both my blog are I are located in the USA, I live in North America. I love it here, I didn’t go too far when I left for college and I knew I would always come back to my home. I love travelling and seeing other parts of the world but I know where home is and as I have gotten older I realize what a blessing that is. I have always lived here, although I am half Asian I was born and bred here and it is home 100% to me.
Do I Travel To European Conventions?
Yes! I have been to a few European conventions, when I went it was actually my first time in Europe and when I say I loved it, I can’t explain to you how much was had. The conventions are incredible there, I met some of the most amazing people and I love going back whenever I get the chance. Europe is like a second home to me, I always find it so welcoming and the conventions are always full, well-organized and you get to meet some of the most elite cosplayers there.
Want To Meet Me?
