April Cosplayer Feature is Coming Soon

EDIT: Still working on pics. Shining Sakura form the pic below is sending me some epic pictures ;)

I will be posting later today around 9:00 PM Mountain time with this month's cosplayer feature. If you did not see the news earlier, this month's feature will have three posts.

This episode will be the first in a series. The series will start in a few weeks as we get through some old episodes, but we wanted to get some hype going and get questions brewing about cosplay contests. This first episode covers some basics and questions/answers from cosplayers in our community.

We hope this summary episode gives everyone a good idea of how to prep for a contest and what to expect if you have never heard of one before.

Thank you for listening. We are loving the feedback and Horror Stories. You all rock!
