FanExpo 2013

Hey readers!

I had the privilege of making it to FanExpo in Toronto this past Sunday, August 25th and who did I get to see there? Nathan Fillion! As the Captain of the Firefly class transport, Serenity, it was only common sense to share a photo op while myself and my best friend were dressed in part of the Serenity Collection! Nathan himself wasn’t able to sit and chat with us for any length of time… 800 people wanting their picture taken with him will do that! But, we managed to get my friend’s hand painted portrait of him into his hands and run before it could be handed back…and before security could blink. Go us!  All in all, it was a fantastic day at the convention, talking to media, other geeks and making friends all around.

Ether RPG Project

It’s in the early stages of testing…but the Ether RPG Project is getting going! I’m more than a little excited about this…mostly because I’ve been asked to possibly help with costuming for advertisement purposes. They’ll be getting their kickstarter started soon and here’s a link to their Facebook Page. Like them to keep updated!

Ongoing Opportunities

I’ve been receiving contact from many people regarding Fashion Shows, Movies and most recently the possibility of registering for the Metropolitan International Fashion Week in Miami, FL next year. It’s difficult to tamp down the excitement and sift through the information I need to go over before agreeing to any of these things. I’m so excited to see where Spyder Designs is going to end up!

Check out the website for my newest possible opportunity here!

Ryu-Kon 2013 was so much fun. The scale it was presented on was so small, though! I wish them all the luck in the future of their convention, but I want to see Spyder Designs presented large scale! Perhaps that start of that is MMIFW. Here’s hoping!
