“Vero is a social network for anyone who loves anything enough to share it – and wants control over who they share it with. Just like we do in real life.” As you might have seen, the new App, Vero, is slowly taking the world by storm now. You may also have seen your favorite creator post about this already. Vero is much alike Instagram when it comes to posting and they claim that they are not going to mess with algorithms, which has been a large problem both on Facebook and Instagram for the past 2 years – and an especially tremendous problem for the past year. My main following base is on Facebook. I have 390k followers and I know that I, as well as many others, have been affected. Instagram is gradually changing too, as they are owned by Facebook – they’ve actually announced that they’re gradually introducing the same algorithms that so drastically limit the reach of pages, and makes it especially hard for creators. Every time I post, Facebook asks me to boost the post for more likes, which means that I would be spending money on every post to reach my followers – which […] Read More
Jeg har ikke ord. Da jeg fikk høre at jeg ble valgt som Brand Ambassadør for Telenor sitt nye abonnement, Telenor Yng, trodde jeg ikke mine egne ører. Jeg er fortsatt i sjokk, tenk at de ville ha cosplay involvert i reklamen sin!? Jeg var helt mind blown og så utrolig takknemlig for at jeg fikk denne sjansen! Samtidig var jeg også veldig nervøs, men excited at the same time! Ikke minst fordi dette abonnementet passer perfekt innenfor det jeg driver med! Du får Data Switch, som betyr at du kan bytte fra fri tale til 60 samtaler og mer data! Noe som er perfekt for meg som reiser mye rundt omkring i Europa. Har flere ganger måttet stoppe på cafeer for gratis wifi eller leeche av andre sine Hot Spots. Ikke minst har de også Music Freedom som er et must for meg når jeg reiser eller når jeg jobber med Cosplay. Then again, tipper det er flere som ikke er cosplayere som har akkurat det samme behovene 😀 Dere kan lese mer om Yng her: https://yng.telenor.no/ Det er også utrolig bra at flere får øynene opp for cosplay – vi bruker jo tross alt utrolig mye tid på kostymene […] Read More
Hello lovelies! I had the honor of being on the cover of Cohaku’s latest issue! When they asked me earlier this Summer, I was a little confused, but also very honored. I had heard only good things about this magazine, so it was a little surreal to me – they even wanted to print an interview with me. The magazine itself is a wonderful resource for the cosplay community, filled with cosplay goodies such as tutorials and relevant news and discussions! They wanted my Wonder Woman for the cover, which was really flattering. It has been a Summer filled with Wonder Woman for me, and I loved every single second of it. I had been wanting to cosplay her for years now, and I finally got the chance to. I sent them various photos, and they ended up going with an “Into Battle” look. I usually cosplay characters that tend to always be cute, so this was a real challenge for me. My only experience with the “non-cute” characters is through my Sivir cosplay, that I made back in 2016. So because these kinds of poses aren’t my forte, it made me very happy that they decided to go with one of the more “aggressive” shots from […] Read More
Fully detailed tutorial of both my Wonder Woman Chest plate and God Killer is up for my Patrons from level 25 and up! Link HERE. I thought I could give you guys a quick tutorial on how to create your own Wonder Woman Chest plate. You will need: 2mm Craft Foam 5mm Craft Foam Worbla/Black Worbla A pair of good scissors for the worbla Plasti-dip Wood Glue Heating gun Red metal paint / gold paint Paint brushes Masking tape and clear plastic wrap First of all you wrap yourself around in the plastic wrap and masking tape to get the pattern from yourself. Draw onto the masking tape, and cut the pattern out with a pair of scissors. (you’ll have to choose a point to cut where it doesn’t ruin the pattern) Step 2: Is transferring your pattern onto the 2mm craft foam. Draw around, and cut out. For the boob cups I used a double layer of black worbla and heated it up, and shaped it around an acrylic sphere to get the round shape. Cut around rough edges after the worbla has cooled down. Use contact glue to glue the boob cubs onto the 2mm foam under bust (the glue has a strong […] Read More
Okay, so I am quite nervous and excited. I have been asked to make Wonder Woman for the Norwegian premiere here in June! I have always adored Wonder Woman, and being asked to do this is a huge honor. This will actually be my first cosplay from the DC universe. I haven’t even cosplayed from the Marvel universe yet either, I need to get my butt onto that as well~ I have 2 and a half week left, and I think I should manage if my EVA + worbla arrives in time. Bracers are ready for paint + Arm ring + tiara. The base of the sword is also ready. The dragon details might take me a while as there is many small details going on at the guard/handle. Most worried about the chestplate part. I decided to make it out of EVA, and most of my progress will be up for my Patrons. ;3 Wish me luck guys! Time is cutting it short, so my VLOG’s will be put on hold until then. I plan on vlogging during the premiere day though! Hope you all are excited for that. ;D Read More
I have finally managed to sit down and write this after some days of rest~ I told you all I would be more active on my blog, and that will continue! ^3^ This year I had the honor of guesting expOtaku Almeria in Spain! My heart always drops when I get invited to events, my mind is like “What? Really? They want me there? ;o;”, then I shed some tears of joy. This was my first time in Spain, since I was unable to go last year as I got sick. But WOOOW, Spain is super beautiful! It is so different from Norway, so I was filming everything like a crazy tourist! :’D The first day we got to explore Almeria a little, we went to the beach and ended up eating a lot of the most amazing ice cream ever! So goooood! So the first day was pretty much a day of relaxing. I went to bed at 7 PM, as I hadn’t gotten any sleep the day before. I woke up at 7 AM the next day, fully rested and full of energy! The first day of expOtaku I wore my Sawako Kuronuma cosplay from Kimi ni Todoke for the first time at […] Read More
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve written on my blog, and now it’s finally time to start blogging again~ A lot of stuff has happened in the past months, one of said stuff happening at Buskerud Folk High! I was invited back again this year to teach the students about armor and casting ( LED’s), which is always a pleasure. I really enjoy teaching people new things, it makes me so happy~ Like last year, we decided to start with something basic, such as a bracer. So they all got to decide on what they wanted to make. After a 20 min power-point presentation, we started to work! We went through these phases: 1. Making your own pattern 2. Worbla Base 3. Mold for making gems 4. LED and wires 5. Details for the bracers ( Worbla and Polymorph) 6. Priming / + Tips during the priming process 7. Painting All of the phases went pretty darn well! They all managed to finish in time, and we all got to take some really cool photos. Had a little trouble with the Transpa Worbla, but you just have to work with it over time. My Crystal Maiden staff gem […] Read More
It is time to talk about my experience from GIGACON 2015! I was an invited guest this year along with Kairi in Cosplayland and Tanzoir, two super sweet girls whom I love very much! <3 For GIGACON, I wanted to finish my Arcade Miss Fortune in time for the Cosplay Contest, so there were many sleep-less nights in order to get her ready for the judging, which took place on Saturday, but I freaking did it! A huge thanks to Chris for helping me cut and sand, without him this Arcade MF would never have happened in time! :O Kairi in Cosplayland also managed to complete her Arcade Riven! So we got to take some super awesome Arcade pictures if you scroll down below~ I would write about each day, but it was mostly me working on Arcade Miss Fortune, so there is not a lot to say around that, aside from that I was working really hard on getting her ready, but of course I will write about all the other stuff I did, so here you all go: This year I decided to sit out with the LAN participants, I think it’s more social and tons of fun […] Read More
Hello lovelies! Hope you all are doing well! Last weekend I was attending KawaiiCon 4 which took place in Porsgrunn! Which is super close to my home town Skien, so it was really awesome seeing an anime event this close to my home town! I had so much fun stuff to do during this weekend! I was a part of the opening show, judged their cosplay contest, and had a panel~ So there was always so much fun stuff going on 24/7. Day 1 Day one started pretty early, I had to get up at 7 in the morning so we were able to rehearse at least once before the opening show went on for real. I was playing Tamaki’s Mother (The Queen), and the Evil Princess, (Ganondorf in disguise) during the show. I was pretty nervous, as we just had gotten into all of the script one day before, but it all turned out great! I really enjoyed playing the part of the Evil Princess, especially since I dressed up to look like Cadence during the play! (My Little Pony related) I’m going to show you guys a video of it later~ After the opening show was done, I […] Read More
I am back home from Stockholm, and started working on my Arcade Miss Fortune again! LCS Stockholm was amazing! It was such an honor being invited by Riot Games. They are always such a pleasure to work with! I was lucky enough that I could stay with my Swedish friend, Laura Craft, during this event! I always miss my Swedish friends, they’re just amazing! Riot teamed up Laura Craft ( Karma & Ziggs), Amenoo Cosplay ( Lux and Annie), Ciwiel (Miss Fortune), Illeda art and Cosplay (Zed) and myself to guest during the event. Most of us knew each other from before, but it was also nice making new friends! Like Illeda, I’d only spoken to her once before. O: Day 1: I arrived one day before the event so I could settle down and wake up well rested. We got to the event around 12:00 during lunch time and got our cosplays on. Riot had put up their own “Cosplay Hospitality” spot where cosplayers could get dressed and got some snacks/water. Erin ( Riot Yuka) took good care of us along with two other Rioters, you girls did an amazing job! <3 After we all got dressed, we headed […] Read More
