Otaku Tattoo Expo 2024

 SO this convention was super fun. I actually always enjoy this one. I am a tattooed babe and of course love my artists. I am a tattoo and alternative model so of course this is up my alley and lastly I am a spicy content creator as well so bingo it is a perfect place for me.

Unfortunantly this is not the best convention to go to to sell cosplay related stuff because i have never made much aat these conventions .... at all... but that is not why i do it. I love guesting these because i love the people around there, the atmosphere there, and of course its a great place to show off your art and network with everyone. If you are anything like me then this will be a great convention to attend on the business side. Great for tattoos and i heard all good things about that though i am unsure if there were any complaints. I know alot of vendors were pleased as well but honestly vending is alot of hit and misses. I would say it is a good tattoo convention to go to. some of the hottest Tatted babes cosplaying as well. So you have beautiful talented eye candy. I do believe they could utalize us cosplay babes a bit better and we can bring love and more attention if we were used and advertised properly. I have so many ideas that could help event hr tattoo artists out. Cosplay guests werent always guests we were called booth babes for a reason. anywhoo!!!!

Attending wise...this is an amazing place to go to if you want amazingly fun tattoos by some of the most talented tattoo artists i have ever met and seen. The staff are quiet but they are friendly if you approach them and ask them anything they will help you out. The owners and department heads try to make things as fun and smooth as possible. I again always look forward to this convention. 

This time it was at the Mesquite convention center and i love that convention center!! It is a great place to hold and event and plenty of parking buuuuut be careful to all the signs around. 

I give this convention a 6/10 as a cosplay vending guest networking is great sales are not at all.

but a 9/10 for everything else great atmosphere and people, wicked artists and vendors, fun panels

This lighter was made for me by @bbrokenbeauty on Insta i love it so much

Here are some more pics from the convention

Cult Classic Convention Horror Con 2024

 Cult Classic Convention is a smaller  horror convention in Bastrop, Texas. Its owned by the same people who ow the Gas station about 10 minutes away from the convention center that it is held in. The Gas station is a bbq and horror memorabilia shop. It also just so happens to be the original gas station used in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I thought that was -pretty flippin cool and they sell their bbq ( called we slaughter BBQ) at the convention as well. Smarttttttt!!! Anyways it is owned by Roy and Lisa Rose ( who are such pleasant people to work with and talk to ) . They put on such a unique and cool event. As usual you have your vendors, special guests, photo ops, and hey guess what this year they brought me in as a guest content creator/ Cosplayer ( I LOVED IT BTW). They had a really fun host named Scarah Damsel Of the Doomed that was the host for panels and the cosplay contest. She was bloody good and sweet. 

They had some unique vendors and some pretty cool guests if you ask me. All of the guests were wonderful and such pleasant people to talk to. I wont say who but i will say a lovely lady and a lovely gentlemen that were guests there made an ever lasting impression on and in my life and i will never forget how welcomed and warm they made me feel. I love them so much and will forever be their biggest fans not just as actors but as people. They had a Porky's reunion which was great as well. 

  I loved that they also brought the twisted Metal Sweet tooth truck there to do photos with as well as Paulsreelwheels bringing the Delta 88 from Evil dead there. It was such a cool thing to see and of course i had to get photos with it. They also did some really cool stuff that i was so pleasantly surprised by which was a shelter to adopt some puppies. Of course my mom and Michael had to go and love on them all day ( me too). They had an after party and i didn't go because i am super lame and sleepy. However i heard from some people that it was so much fun and from the last time i went to one of their after parties i was sure it was just as fun as the one i had went to if not more fun this time. 

  I love the guests because they are not the newest actors and actresses they are the ones from older cult classics and you get to meet some of the greatests or the greats and i am living for it. I am a classic horror fan and also i love the late 70's to  the 90's horror movies. They were the best !!!! 

Great vendors with some really unique finds and of course artists, and even Chamoy candies and baked goods. Panels were great and put on the main stage which is a little cramped of a space but it was ok . They also had vendors outside and some live bands that would play there as well. That was cool as hell to me. 

Over all i would like to say this was a fun convention. Great guests and great food. The vendors were good and i loved that they were all pretty unique. I saw alot of authors selling their books as well and i loved that. I am such a bookworm so that was cool to me. The owners were very kind and funny as hell sometimes and they seemed to love their job. 

  I was a guest cosplayer / vendor there and it was such a fun time. I loved everyone i met and the people who came and chatted with me loved hearing about what it is i do and i was selling art and stickers and stuff and found out you horror freaks ( like myself) are obsessed with stickers !!! I had no issues all weekend!

rating over all 

vendors 8/10 for uniqueness and over all fun merch. Reasonable pricings too1

Location 8/10 as well. I feel like it is a bit small only because of the main stage people have to stand in front of the vendors which i over heard a few people saying it is unfortunate that they cant get to a few of the vendors because so many people were standing in their way and there was no room to get by. I understand that other than that i love the convention center for sure. 

Guests 10/10 i can not complain one bit with any of the guests . My interactions with them were great and all of them very kind!!

Parking 10/10 honestly parking was free and there was plenty of space and easy walk to the convention center

Staff 10/10 all of the staff were very kind and helpful and i had fun joking around with a few of them!!

Over all honest opinion on the entire convention 9/10

The only thing that would bump it up one step further for me and a few other i heard is the space between the main stage and the vendors. Other than that it was a very nice and fun convention and as you leave be sure to check out the Gas Station!!! The guy that was working there on Sunday when we went by has so much kick ass knowledge and is happy to share it with you. what a pleasant guy to chat with. So would i recommend this convention? Absolutely i would.

San Angelo Comic Con

 Hey guys,

Here we are with another review. This is for San Angelo Comic Con. First off i just want to say its actually not a terrible Location and in General San Angelo is actually a pretty cute and cool little town. There isn't much that goes on in that town so the Conventions are bringing some cool new nerd culture. 

Ok lets get to it first lets start with the location. The Location wasn't terrible actually. It was inside Fosters Communication Coliseum. It was like a small ( but decent sized ) arena and i enjoyed it. It fit quite a few vendors and a panel room that was big enough to hold the Cosplay content and some cool Panels. The Parking was pretty nice too. Plenty of space and a good spot for load in and easy access for everything. 

Security is next... the security guards were on point for sure. They were on top of things and constantly moving around and checking in on everybody and not to mention they were all so nice and had such good attitudes and talked with respect. 

Vendors now here is something pretty nice i saw so many local artist there that was quite nice and i enjoyed how much this con supported their locals. They had pretty awesome guests as well i mean come on Million Dollar Man, Olivia Hack, Lizzie Freeman, Carla Perez most known for Rita From the Power Rangers, Greg Evigan, and Jesse Borrego. Some old School Guests so worth seeing. Of course the Cosplayers as well. Sabre Grey Cosplay , Chief Glitz and Glam, Illuminatikittn, Bfg Cosplay, and Preslie Belladonna. All of these guests were kind and amazing.

Over all feel of the convention was nice too they had food wise a concession stand and you could meet your basics or drive easily a few minutes down the road or door dash something. A;; things were pretty close so easy access to food and coffee....don't forget the coffee...p.s. try 7 Brew thank you for the suggestion BFG Cosplay i loved it.

There were a few good panels but not too many panels however they were standard getting to know your guests and then a few about getting into Cosplay and a hot sauce challenge...which was pretty fun and funny to watch. 

 All Right lets get down to the overalls shall we ?

Location was 9/10 I really didn't have problems finding it and navigating it. Parking was great so over all feel was good but i feel the climate control was a little hard in a coliseum.

Security was 10/10

Entertainment 6/10 it could use a lot of sprucing up on the entertainment part 

Vendors and food Vendors were like 10/10 ( more unique vendors and locals love that ) but the food 5/10 could be something else other than just a concession stand 

Badge pick up was super easy and had no issues there and pricing i felt was fair so 10/10

Guests and celebs 9/10 i think they could use maybe one or two more and make them do a bit more programming so we can get to know them all a little better other than that it was pretty good. They were all amazing guests.

Promotion was better than last year but could use a bit more promoting so i say 7/10 

Overalls 

Over all i would say this cute smaller comic con 7/10 but with a few tweaks this con could be such a big hit. I can't wait to see it continue to grow.

Anime Village Festival and Otaku Food Festival

 Lunar New Year Review,

As you know once ( if i am feeling extra more than once a month ) we do a review on the festivals and or conventions and this month we had 2 to review so lets get to it.

First off I just want to say how unique and fun this was. This one was inside the Asia Time Square Mall in Grande Prairie, Texas and outside as well. The street food and a few vendors were outside but the artists and guests were on the inside which made it best for those selling anything to do with or on paper lol.

I and a few other cosplayers were set next to the voice actors that were there and that was pretty cool made us feel even more special ( woo woo) we were inside basically an Asian mall and that was pretty cool to be honest with you. The area and the scenery there was just beautiful and so the location its self was amazing. The parking at the place was not so great it took me an hour to fin d parking almost but hey that means damn what a good turn out.

One of the best things about the festival is it is all free to go to. I mean you have to pay to get the merch and food but there is no cover charge and they travel all over Texas in various locations to have these festivals. They are all themed as well. 

The owner and workers are so kind and i enjoyed working with them. The festival itself has some really cool entertainment for example the Chinese Lion Dance Parade they did was so fun and whimsical. I enjoyed it every time and they did it at east 3 times a day. They had singing and dancing performers and they also had an aerialist performing outside as well. Lets not forget the Sumo wrestlers they had were super entertaining as well. Last but not least i the entertainment was the food !!!

Lets get to it on that subject because yes mama, papa, grandma, grandpa, daddy whatever it was amazing. A little pricey but what isn't now a days. The food was awesome ranging from all areas of Asian culture and man was it good. 

I can continue on and on but lets get to ratings

Location: 8/10 only because Parking sucked a bit but good news for the bad news for my feet lol

Entertainment 9/10  The Lion Dance could get a little noisy and in the middle of traffic but it was so cute and beautiful

vendors and food 10/10 no issues here!!!!

No badges so i would say 10 / 10 lol 

Overall this was definatly worth it and i will attend every time
