F A Q

A: No, it is not required, and you'll still receive a free button! If you're already in a HSR cosplay, though, you don't have to take a photo with the guest cosplayer(s) to receive a free button (unless you want to)!Q: Does it have to be a HSR cosplay?
A: Not at all! You can come in whatever cosplay you'd like. You can still receive a free button in a different cosplay as long as you take a photo with the event cosplayer(s). However, please kindly note that you will not receive a free button for a non-HSR cosplay alone!Q: When can we take a photo with the event cosplayer(s)?
A: Either while you're waiting to be seated, or after you've finished dining in before you leave. But once again, this is a very small venue, so please be mindful of the space for other guests.

• BACK

Hi, there! My name is Lemon. I was born in South Korea, moved to the US as a kid, and lived in Alaska for nearly 20 years. I've been cosplaying since 2008, but took a hiatus from 2016 until 2022 when I moved from Anchorage, AK to Boston, MA.I mostly try to travel and attend nearby conventions in the New England area, but also some in the west coast occasionally.If you recognize me at conventions, please feel free to say hello, chat, and take a photo with me - I promise I don't bite!I also draw fanart and sell fan-made goods on my online store (Etsy). Feel free to check it out!At the moment, I'm very much obsessed with Final Fantasy XIV, Yakuza, Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Revengers, and Street Fighter 6. So, if you also happen to be into any of these, I'd love to chat with you about them!I am also fluent in English, Korean, and Japanese, so please feel free to converse with whichever of these three languages you're most comfortable with.

con experiences:

I've been cosplaying and going to conventions since 2008. I couldn't travel to any out-of-state conventions until 2015 because I was still a minor and didn't have the best source of income to afford it. Therefore, I've only been to local conventions and cosplay events in Alaska prior to 2015. But now, I mostly travel to New England/East Coast conventions.At conventions, I mainly attend cosplay gatherings, photoshoots, and go shopping at the Dealers Hall and Artist Alley. Depending on the topic, I will attend some panels throughout the day as well. And because I don't necessarily cosplay competitively, I only attend events such as cosplay competitions, the masquerades, etc. if my friends are participating in them.Other than that, I primarily attend conventions to simply hang out with friends, make new friends, and nerd out!

cosplay experiences:

For the most part, I purchase my cosplays off of online shops such as Doki Doki Cosplay, Taobao, etc. And depending on the costume, I'll sometimes try to improvise it myself. I have made a few cosplays entirely from scratch before, though. My cosplays of Hinamori Amu (Shugo Chara!), Hinamori Momo (Bleach), Homura Akemi (PMMM), Haku (Naruto), and Hide (X JAPAN) are some of the ones I've made entirely from scratch. I hope to make a couple more again soon!I also used to take wig commissions internationally as my main source of income earlier in the years. So, I feel my skills are definitely stronger in wig styling than costume making. While I do not take wig commissions anymore, I still enjoy styling wigs and offer to style them for free to close friends!As for makeup, I'm no professional but I'm always down to give people tips on cosplay makeup and makeup/skin care in general. I don't think I've actually started getting into cosplay makeup until around my fourth year of cosplaying. I used to go for more dramatic looks back then, but now I try to go for a more subtle/natural style while still giving the character... Character.

Art as a hobby

Aside from cosplaying, I also do digital art as a hobby! I no longer take commissions, but I do make fan-made merchandise and sell them on my online shop! If you'd like to support me and my hobby at all, please do check out my Etsy below. I mostly sell acrylic charms, buttons, and prints. If I ever do get a bigger audience in the market, I hope to sell more varieties of items such as pouches, clothings, enamel pins, and the likes!
