I sense there’s something in the wind 🪡🧵

Another oldie but goodie! I designed my Sally from #nightmarebeforechristmas a few years back from all African fabrics as a direct rebuke to #timburton ‘s comment about black people not fitting his aesthetic. I wanted to prove him wrong and I think I succeeded! This is one of my favorite dresses I’ve ever made 💕 #cosplay #madebyme #halloween

... Read moreIn the world of fashion and cosplay, the influence of cultural elements can lead to groundbreaking designs that challenge the status quo. The creation of garments that blend traditional fabrics with contemporary aesthetics not only celebrates heritage but also advocates for representation within various narratives. The discussion surrounding Tim Burton's aesthetic choices highlighted the need for inclusivity and diversity in costume design. By utilizing African fabrics for a classic character like Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, this project serves as a bold statement against misconceptions in the fashion industry. Cosplay is an expressive art form that encourages creativity and personal interpretation. Each piece created allows fans to connect with characters on a deeper level, embodying their stories and ideals. Events like Halloween and conventions offer perfect platforms to showcase these designs, revealing the hard work and passion that goes into every stitch. Being part of a community that values artistic freedom promotes a sense of belonging and inspires others to embrace their uniqueness. With outfits crafted from individual stories and cultural threads, the cosplay scene becomes a colorful tapestry that represents various backgrounds and experiences.

We’ve all been there something just totally f**ks up our mood & inevitably our day. BUUUT good news is some small actions can totally change that. #1 : Walking, it releases endorphins and increases dopamine, the "happy hormone.” It also reduces cortisol which is the stress hormone 😖

The Door That Shouldn’t Be There
When I moved in, I noticed the second door right away. Same paint, same handle as the front but it didn’t open. I tried the knob once, twice… locked tight. I figured it led to a closet or maybe another unit. The first few nights were quiet. Then, one night around 2 a.m., I heard it knocking. Three
