I lost my momentum on the 100 days to Halloween countdown, and the last time I looked the theme for the day was "Summerween." I had this pic reserved for that day. I have no idea what day that was, so now it is today 😆.
Happy !

This was my Halloween costume last year...The MOMster.
August has me thinking of planning this year's costume but no good ideas yet. I have lots of costumes, but I always like to do something new for Halloween!

It was a long trip home with 4 planes, delays and missed connections but I am home and even managed to unpack!
Now I have loads of photos and videos to go through and organize.

Pic from my last evening at Camp Chateau. ❤️

Already missing those crisp cool mornings in France. Florida is still very much hot hot hot! 🔥

Day 6: Fall Feels

I’m not doing every day of the Halloween countdown, but jumping in when I can!

I changed my profile pic the other day and just realized the profile circle cuts off the top half of my head 🙄😆
Now I realize why I hadn’t used this one yet. I have to wait a couple days to change it again I think. Oops.

For the last few years I’ve participated in the countdown. It kicked off July 23rd! The theme today is “About Me” so here’s a little intro:
I’m Candy Keane, which is my real name, not a stage name.

I was a custom costume maker and costume shop owner for 11 years before closing my shop.

It was a lot of fun until I got totally burnt out and over It, and decided to start a blog because I have always loved writing. I graduated from UF with a degree In magazine journalism. (The typos from doing this on my phone drive me crazy 😆)

So now I blog for work, but I still do cosplay for fun because I’ve always loved costumes and Halloween.

Doing cosplay as a job for so long sucked a lot of the joy out of it, and I am happy to have found it again through sharing my cosplay on social media. ❤️

So thank you for being a part of this page because the people I connect with who love cosplays and costumes as well are what keeps it fun.

I’m married and have a little boy so I’m not on here trying to date or push a fan page elsewhere. I’m just here to share this unique hobby with people that can appreciate the art of it . 😁

Where I’m currently visiting, there’s a labyrinth. Unfortunately there’s no goblin king lurking in there. I checked 😆
And I removed my post about the imposter page because it is gone already.
I think they did try to comment and say it was a “fan page” but it’s just not cool to make a cosplay fan page and use my vacation photo with my child as the main photo. It’s weird and misleading.

I have not been doing a lot of cosplay lately, so the page has been quiet...but I have been doing a lot of traveling this summer! (this is in Alaska)
I've mostly been posting on my regular profile page Candy L Keane. You are welcome to follow me over there if you want to keep up with my non-cosplay adventures.
I'm off to Barcelona tomorrow!

My feed is filled with all thinks sharky, from SharkCon this week, to Shark Week starting July 20. I don't have any shark cosplays, so here's some mermaid make-up. Close enough 😆

My friends Emily Mathews Parker and Brian are in the top 10 in the contest for America's Favorite Couple. It's free to vote 😊

It took me over a year and I practically had a cosplayer breakdown over finishing it, but I finally did part 2!
After making hundreds of these costumes over the years I am just so tired of making it and I feel like there are probably better methods and better materials out there. But this is how I made it!

It took me over a year, but I finally finished Part 2 of the video on how to make the costume usually known as "Slave Leia."Watch Part 1 to learn how to make...
