#blumedoom

Hi hi! I'm Blumedoom in Alpaca Cosplay, your average Baltimore-based cosplayer. My first cosplay was for Otakon in 2011 and I have been gradually honing my skills ever since... very gradually. Besides just cosplay, I enjoy making my own renaissance fair costumes (because drinking in costume is my only happy place) and nerdy/adorable outfits for random things. For 2 years I volunteered for my Alma mater high school, making costumes for their theatrical productions and mentoring students interested in costume design and clothing construction. My favorite show that I did costumes for was Peter Pan, especially the lost boys. Working with a lot of natural materials was a fun challenge. I'm currently making an alpaca dress for Sakura Matsuri, polishing up my Steampunk Raichu cosplay (that damn tail), and struggling to find inspiration for this year's Otakon line up, as per usual.

My current obsessions are Yuri on Ice (currently re-watching it), RWBY (come on season 5) and The Walking Dead (didn't catch up in time to see season 7 live, so no spoilers please). I hope to increase my difficulty level in cosplay and meet more Otaku that I click with. If you want to see what events we're going to, look at our work in progress photos or gush over our favorite series, check out our Alpaca Cosplay facebook/Instagram and my personal Instagram too, missclaireblume! Nice to meet you all, stay classy.
