Lady Cels

✨Howdy new folk! I'm Lady Cels/Cori (she/her)!✨ I'm an award-winning craftsmanship cosplayer, teacher, guest, panelist, and cosplay judge. Proudly queer, disabled, autistic, plus-sized maker for 20+ years! 📷:@amiephotos @aDoylible

You can find me as LadyCels on IG, Tumblr, FB, and 🧵 If you would like to continue to follow my work.

Heads up. I've been slowly working on following mutuals on other platforms, with the goal of getting away from here. I'll likely be stopping crossing posting here soon. I value the friends I've made here, but it's just so toxic.

@viciouscosplay But yeah, my big question is why this is the way to make this announcement. It's PR, you don't have to reinvent the wheel by doing a video for what should be a simple statement. Like.... why?

@viciouscosplay They issued the $5 discount on shipping two days ago with no explanation. Until today 🙃

Still no alt text. The TDLR lacks info. Spelling mistakes. People who paid $20 shipping are fucked. $10 discount per order def is to trick people into buying individually and not as a group. This is so funny to watch.

@xLunaNightmare @Katsucon I got mine issued two days ago with no explanation, until today, and now we know.

@xLunaNightmare @Katsucon Tixr issued a $5 refund for the shipping cost difference. I don't think the coupon code though can be applied retroactively.

Updates to our 2024 Registration: 1 - Katsucon is continuing with the mailed-only option thru 1/4/24. 2 - Shipping is now $15. 3 - Use discount code KATSU2024 for $10 off your Katsucon registration. (Per order, not per badge) More info at katsucon.org/registration

@Katsucon I mean, a simple press release would work just fine (In legible format). No need to to reinvent the wheel when it comes to PR.

We are recording a short live update regarding 2024 Registration today at 1 pm. The video and social post graphics will be shared on Twitter shortly after. Talk to you soon! facebook.com/events/s/2024-…

@Katsucon You may want to remove "all fees included" since shipping is a fee (and not included).

A message from Katsucon Leadership about changes to pricing & badge registration:

@xGabbyNu Also holy hell. You say that phrase and alllll the bots crawl out of the woodwork.

@xGabbyNu Peace out to their respective sugar daddy sponsored retreats too -_-.

I can’t even say I’m surprised anymore 😞

@mirascarletcos It's definitely my favorite way to line up darts. By no means is this the only way, I just find it easier to line up my lines. This, plus tying my thread rather than back stitching at the dart apex are my two main tools to create clean darts.

@LadyCels THIS IS SO SMART!!! I am absolutely trying this next time!!

@somanyjets Great points! Also: think about how you'll get your costume on/off by yourself. Especially important when planning for the bathroom!

Some tips for when you’re making your cosplay: - make sure you plan how you’re going to be able to use the bathroom - add functional pockets wherever you can - take a step BACK every once in a while. Most people will be looking at your cosplay from a few feet away at least!

@paprikasegg No, the camera angle is hiding it XD It'd be amazing if it could. I removed that basting seam after I stitched it down by hand.

@HoneyFroCosplay It's a foam and worbla base, and then rhinestones glued one by one. I call it the discoball arrow 🤭

@LadyCels Is the arrow on the head beads?

@anxiety_fox A mantra I have that helps a lot (As helps tasks from piling up) is 'Don't put it down, put it away'. Too often I'll put something down, and forget about it. And it adds up until I have a lot to clean up. So I now try and put things back in their home/spot right after use.

My ADHD pals, what techniques are best for you to help you finish tasks every day?

@sumikins idk if it's different now. But I recall Dior being particularly prone to lawsuits for little things. I'm sure after knowing the manga was able to get away with it not being a physical garment, they weren't taking a chance.

@sumikins Like I said, my guess is they may have tried to go so far from the original so as to not draw attention from Dior.

@sumikins Correction: Called the Palladium Dress (It's inspired by columns).

@sumikins My one guess is it may have been to avoid a copyright complaint. The iconic dress is a well known Dior dress, Palladio (geekspin.co/sailor-moon-pr…) The mangaka was well known for using high fashion designs for Sailor Moon, but I'm sure for a live action it made it tricky.
