Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Random Cosplay Tips #1

So, sometimes I find these random cosplay tips that have the potential to be randomly helpful and I make a mental note of them. But I can only hold so many random mental notes at once. If I have too many mental notes to remember, I'm basically going to dump them into a post titled "Random Cosplay Tips #_." And this is going to be the first one.
  • If you need to order things online (which happens a lot in cosplay) but you do not have a credit card, buy yourself one of those prepaid visa gift card things (I know, good description). 
  • 99¢ patterns. Don't waste your money on overly priced patterns. If you aren't confiden tin your own pattern-making, wait until there is a 99¢ pattern sale at Joann's.
  • Speaking of patterns, if you do make your own, LABEL YOUR PATTERN PIECES! It really sucks if you can't tell what which piece is which and you want to re-use a pattern. :(
  • For cons, get a portable wig stand so that you don't have to with "bag head" (or worse) all over again.
That's about it for now! I know that this was short but I hope this post was a help! MadDog out!
