My name is Chrissie and I am an artist and creative designer of home decoration specialising in mixed media. I am also obsessed with paper crafts, so make my own cards, scrapbooks and journals.
F: You could’ve just sent her a gift card or something.
M: look, it’s all about sending a message. I gotta let her know i love and appreciate her even if it means breaking and entering
My friend @mybrotherthinksiminsane said Kakyoin’s should have come back wearing heart-shaped sunglasses and I support it wholeheartedly. And being the nice kid he is, Kakyoin would have brought silly sunglasses for the bunch (and DIO would join the trend too ‘cause he can’t stand not being the center of attention)
Comic-Con Masquerade Contest: Mandy Pursley, with Ryan Pursley
Costume Name: Cinderella…With a Twist!
Costume Description: Growing up as an arm amputee, I dreamed of the day when fairy tales would include characters who looked like me too! I came up with the idea of Cinderella trading out her glass slippers for a glass arm, and set to work making this story come to life. I “single-handedly” sewed Cinderella’s dress and Prince Charming’s uniform, and created a way for Cinderella to transform from peasant to princess in a snap! In true Cinderella fashion, the finishing touches were completed by my real-life fairy godfather, Gilbert Lozano, who created the beautiful glass arm. I hope this cosplay inspires others to see their differences as beauty, and to recognize that everyone is worthy of love and adventure!
Bio: Mandy Pursley lives in Oceanside, CA, with her real-life Prince Charming, Ryan Pursley. She has been sewing for 10 years, and began getting into the cosplay community six years ago. Recently, Mandy has found a sense of empowerment through incorporating her limb difference into her costumes, cosplaying both familiar amputee characters and re-imagining old favorites. She created Be the Spark Cosplay as a way to showcase her costumes and celebrate others who are using cosplay to break out of the mold!
