COSTUMING

Just trying to keep myself entertained most times. Hope you enjoy my little writings and uploads of my costuming :3

I'm a college student in Seattle who enjoys writing, reading, and a bit of creativity! My big hobby is costuming, but I do so many things I can't begin to list them all here.

I have immense knowledge on a variety of subjects which other people have deemed useless (only by their opinion) but some find incredibly useful. Among these subjects are crafts, various artforms, makeup and skin care, and fashion related topics including costuming and fashi

I'm a single, homeschooling Mom of 7 wonderful kids. I enjoy writing, reading, costuming, sewing, painting, being around my kids, and being in Nature. I have a close personal relationship with God, which gives me strength, peace and love.

Age: 23 Height: 6 4” Residency: Oregon, USA Languages: English Costumer since: 2006 Favorite color: Purple, Red Hobbies: Sword Combat, Acting, Stage Fighting, playing video games, and Costuming! I ve been a costume and special effects makeup artist for over six years learning many tricks and tips of the trade. I started really getting into costuming back in 2006 when I attended my second Anime (Japanese Entertainment) convention. I, like many others, started out very simple and very unskilled. Over time I picked up many skills. Some include armor and leather working, to chain and scale mail even learning to sew, something I d never figure I d ever learn to do. Now I ve entered several costuming contests and won awards. Some include Best in Show Master Category, Best Group Cosplay, Best Video Game Cosplay, and Judges Choice Master Category.

Seven years with a natural food co-operative during her college years and beyond equipped Deanna with an in-depth knowledge of natural and herbal remedies, nutrition and nutritional healing. Deanna Grimm graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Interior Design, but eventually found herself in financially oriented careers as a school district payroll administrator and freelance bookkeeper. After three natural births, two in a Birth Center, Deanna embarked on the stay-at-home mom odyssey, quickly learning creative ways for a family to thrive on one income. Nearing the end of eleven years of full-time parenting, she tutors students in math and feels drawn to more creative pursuits, becoming involved in writing, photography and theatrical costuming. A mother and stepmom for 14 years, Deanna is well versed in the trials and rewards of step-parenting and blending families. An avid reader, improving photographer, classic movie buff since childhood, lover of retro trends and modern design, Deanna is now ensconced on the Eastern shore of Maryland designing her next home and coveting Robert Osborne's job.

This Glamour Girl discovered a passion for fashion at a young age. Though always encouraged towards intellectual and academic pursuits, she maintained an interest in clothing, accessories and costumes through the years. That passion was realized as a vocation when she graduated With Honors with a Fashion Design degree from the Art Institute of Philadelphia in December 2004. Never one to shy away from a challenge, she’s lent her visual creativity to music videos, dramatic short films and theatre productions as well as recreational costuming with a very special and unique group of friends. Always one with something to say, she thought this blog was a great avenue for expressing commentary on her own fashion life and on those around her whether designer, celebrity, or average Jane.

I am a photographer, a housewife, a pagan, a penny pincher and a very opinionated person.
