H.P. Wants to Show Off Her New Dress
This actually came about at FantaSci, but it gets its own post because IT DESERVES IT. We were bobbing around the Dealer’s Room when we happened upon the Fashions by Figment booth, and I casually mentioned that I like wearing steampunkish garb at convention appearances. Whereupon, in an absolute and divine miracle, the costumers at…

Holo Writing at AWA!*
*Second in a series of VERY BELATED con posts because, again, EDITING. 😛 This past September, Jacob and I decided it was time to branch out from our usual tiny, comfy cons and tackle something a little bigger. So we packed up our bow ties and headed to Anime Weekend Atlanta. AWA held a lot…

Holo Writing at Dragon Con (The Sequel)!*
“We should do the most ridiculous cosplay we can think of.” This is something that is said frequently in House Holo (mostly by me, with Jacob nodding politely), but rarely comes to fruition. When my sis said that she was joining us for this year’s Dragon Con, however, we knew this was our chance to…

Holo Writing at SC Comicon 2015!
SC Comicon 2015 has come and gone, and we at Holo Writing had an awesome time! We met a lot of cool people, saw plenty of superb costumes, and sold lots of books. The turnout was definitely bigger than last year with more people and a convention space about twice the size of the original,…

Holo Writing at DragonCon!
CONVENTION TIP: When visiting a convention, even one you’re only going to as a fan, bring business cards. If you have bookmarks or flyers, bring those too. Seriously, you never know who you might strike up a conversation with. Yeah, about that. At DragonCon, I had to give someone my engineering business card instead of…

Soul Eater Cosplay: Eruka Frog
Moving a long drive away from my seamstress mother led me to stop mooching off her sewing skills and finally teach myself how to sew. This is the result! I chose Eruka Frog from Soul Eater as my first genuine sewing project because of the simplicity of the costume. Pattern-wise, it comes down to a…

Holo Writing at SC Comicon 2014!
This past weekend, H.P. and I participated in the first ever South Carolina Comic Con, organized by the very hardworking Rob Young of Borderland Comics and Games. The event lasted two days and, according to one of the staff members, drew in over six thousand people! I can believe it too. The convention center was…

Holo Writing at SpartanCon!
This past Saturday, H.P. and I hosted a table at SpartanCon. We had a lot of fun doing it. A big, warm thank you to Spartanburg County Public Libraries for extending the invitation to us and letting us host a table at their event. This picture was taken before things got crazy. And boy, did…

Warmachine Cygnar Cosplay: Kara Sloan
Presenting H.P. Holo’s Warmachine Cygnar warcaster cosplay: Captain Kara Sloan! Yes, this costume was about as much work as it looks. But it was worth it! H.P. constructed the armor from Wonderflex, a thermoplastic that becomes extremely malleable at oven temperatures, but will hold its shape once cooled. The armor took two months to construct, including a…
