/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. But, I was linked to this thread by someone who still lurks this board. I do speak to a few ladies from the contest days and have lost contact with the majority of them.

I wanted to just say hi and say that I honestly missed those contests a lot. As some of you know I did struggle with my health and it was life threatening for some time, to the point that my husband had to retire to take care of me. But, I don't want to derail this thread too much! I just wanted to say that I missed you ladies a lot.

>buying accessories for the character is a third of what it would cost to make it yourself, and would look so much better

Boy. I should have stuck to just buying cosplays.

Shoutout to all my fellow wagecucks waiting to get off and weeb out
