I don't wash wigs often unless it's to re-style them.. in which case I fill my tub with cool water and lather shampoo between my hands then pat it gently onto the wig.. then a swish it around slowly, then rinse it off, using only cool water. (no heat unless it's human hair or hyperlon).. then I wrap it in a towel for a bit, then let it air dry on a wig stand (not a wig head, a wig stand is more like a rack and they're super cheap on ebay). Remember: Don't brush through a wig while it's wet!

I keep the ends of realllly long wigs in plastic bags (like the picture I posted with my Sailor Pluto wig) ...it keeps it nice while you're not wearing it, unfortunately, long synthetic wigs tend to always tangle while wearing them, there's not really a way around it. A lot of people braid it while they're storing it, but I don't like the slight wave it can leave in a straight wig. 

Also, pick up a soft bristle brush or a wig brush to brush your wigs with, it rips out less fibres!

i’m not into no. 6 but i’m 50000000% sure this is what you’re talking about

Yes! :D Hell, with Troy "Voice Actor Prince of My Heart" Baker coming this year? Not even the Reapers teaming up with a Category 5 Kaiju could stop me from attending, and I hear they're pretty vicious.

I am also hosting my first panel on Saturday! The one on the schedule marked Inclusive Cosplay: The Art of Adaptation? That's me. It's a fancy title for a panel that will be devoted to discussing cosplaying while living with a physical disability, how I and others make it work, etc... If I'm lucky, the lovely labrattish will be there to help me out and offer wisdom, especially on props. It'll be from 1-2:30, though I can't remember off the top of my head which room I'm scheduled to be in right now.

I'm also teaming up with the Asian Pop Society of San Antonio College to run a panel on learning how to dance various choreographed routines from Japanese and Korean pop music. They did the panel last year, but this is my first year joining them in it.

Ngl, I am at "hoping to meet Steve Niles" levels of nervous with regards to hoping I get a good spot in line to meet Troy Baker--which is to say, REALLY REALLY NERVOUS. Like Niles, I really enjoy and respect Baker's work a lot, and it's because of him that I've been nudging in the drama department for a voice acting workshop to happen. I'm kind of scared, though, because I know that I'm not the only one who wants to meet him and the autograph lines get really long. I do my very best not to get upset if I don't get to meet someone I want, but I admit that I will probably cry if it doesn't happen. Or at least feel really, really bummed about it.

Oh my heavens. Thank you! Letsee here. 

1. I love movies! I come from a long and devoted line of movie-watchers. My family collects movie memorabilia and we have a pretty decent-sized shelf dedicated to stuff. It’s not unusual for us to see the same movie twice in one day in the theaters or see one movie after the other. It’s great fun. So I’m pretty proud of my knowledge of movies in general although I’m not where I want to be yet.

2. When I was younger, my parentals and sisters and I would go to the bookstore and just stay there for hours, reading. It was always so much fun, and afterwards we’d meet up and be like, ‘read anything good?’ and compare notes and get what we’d like. It’s something I’d like to do with my own kids (in the future, mind you— that’s not on the horizon for a decent amount of time) since it really brought us closer together, but now the same bookstores we read in are closing. It’s really sad to me. I don’t hate kindles or nooks or anything, but I miss my bookstores and the memories inside them.

3. I really don’t like the feeling of bracelets. I have to tie my hair up a lot, so I typically try and keep a hair tie around my wrist but the feeling is so awful I generally just wrap it around my thumb instead or pocket it. Necklaces are really great though.

4. I hate nails! Like nails on the body— fingernails and toenails and stuff. It’s not like mine are particularly awful or anything they just look like regular nails— I take care of them like a good self-conscious citizen. But oh how I hate to! The feeling of trimming them and the knowledge that I have to is just the pits.

5. This is getting hard now. Um. I like to write, but I’m self-conscious about my writing. Trying to work on that. Word.

And that is me. I guess.

-whispers- cas and i volunteer, even if he isn’t...
