A shining star of confidence, radiating positivity, balancing real life & cosplay — using her platform to raise awareness on mental health, navigating as a neurodivergent, being a cancer survivor, and not letting the down...get you down.

@YasmeenLeee joins me this week as we discuss how she got into the cosplay community, her favorite cosplays of her own, the creation of her Lady Death, her team of 6 to fight off a threat on Earth — and we take a deep dive into one another's minds to talk about anxiety, trauma, the importance of understanding yourself, and navigating not only cosplay, but life

From his first Kodak — developing its film — to his first digital camera, to his first foray into shooting, to his first foot in a comic convention, all the way to making a name for himself in the cosplay community; I sit down with photographer @JayEffPhotos!

A little nostalgia talk with Blockbuster, GameFly, time traveling to 2008 — alongside conversation about his YouTube series "Behind The Mask", and what cosplay & photography mean.▾ Cosplay Of The Week!: ▾ http://instagram.com/Comic.Book.Warrior_____________► 📸Instagram:http://instagram.com/SideProjektPodcast http://instagram.com/igHatesChazzy http://instagram.com/JayEffPhotos► 🎽Merch:http://SideProjektPodcast.com► All Other Links:http://lnk.bio/prjkt_____________☇ Timestamps:0:00 - Preview

Let's welcome back @Paper.Moon.Cosplay & @The_Googinator for a, not-your-usual-format-episode, as we discuss things like X-Men in gaming & film, the DCU's future and, since it was pre-recorded, our Superman thoughts & predictions! Were our fears or hopes unfortunately or fortunately correct now that the movie is out?

I think there is a void in gaming that could be a superhero MMORPG of sorts; think DC Universe Online, World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls Online...what if we had a X-Men MMORPG where you got to create-your-own-mutant and side with either the Brotherhood or..well, the X-Men?!

Speaking of the X-Men, where are things headed for them in the MCU? How long does Hugh Jackman truly have left as Wolverine? What's next for the character of Wolverine in the future? So much to discuss! Join us!▾ Cosplay Of The Week!: ▾ http://instagram.com/MoonBerriePie_____________
