Food porn! This homemade guacamole is not only tasty but healthy and vegan! I add 1/2 can of organic white kidney beans per avocado when I make it. That cuts down on the fat and adds protein. A healthy vegan lifestyle has helped me stay “fit after fifty.”

I’ll be back home in Colorado Springs in February and I’ll be ready to shoot! I’ll also be walking in the fashion shows at GalaxyFest showcasing some designs by Diana Carver! And I find out if I made the cut for the GalaxyFest Cosplay Calendar on the 10th ❤

So sorry for the lack of posting. I've been down with stomach flu since Thursday. I even had to cancel my holiday shoot today and unfortunately won't have to any time to make it up before Christmas. There's always next year I guess.

What Is a Cosplayer?
Cosplaying is an expression of fandom. You are probably aware of fandom in a sense that fans of say, NASCAR, will often support their favorite driver by wearing T-shirts, hats etc. That is an expression of fandom.
A cosplayer is a person that is a fan of anime, manga, comics, gaming, certain movies or TV shows who dresses in a costume of a particular character and takes on aspects or traits of that character. COSPLAY comes from COStume and PLAY -as in PLAY acting. I hope that helps!!
