A full view of the new picture of my Sela Mathers cosplay (Grimm Fairy Tales comic book series) can be seen by clicking the photo above. The site is acting wacky (and pissing me off) and the picture cannot be added to the 'Miscellaneous Cosplay' section yet.
Wizard World Philly baby! I had an amazing experience at the convention and you can view all of my pictures by CLICKING HERE

Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure?), short for "costume play",[1] is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, and video games. However, in some circles, "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume.- Wikipedia.org
I'm Victoria aka Lola Gainsborough and welcome to my cosplay site! Here you will find pictures of all of my costumes along with reference shots, character bios, information on the costume and more!
I've been cosplaying since 2006 and I do not make my own costumes nor do I take credit for it; I give credit to the amazing people who have made these creations. I personally wasn't blessed with the talent to create clothes but in some cases, I do make alterations to costumes and you will find that information in the appropriate gallery.
I feel that if you have limited sewing ability (like me) it shouldn't stop you from the joys of cosplay. I don't do it for attention or to gain any internet fame; I do it because it's fun (who doesn't like dressing up?).
Cosplay is the highest form of expressing your love and appreciation for your favorite characters. I appreciate you taking the time to visit my site. Thank you!
xoxo
