Sorry about the delay

I know it has been a long hot minute since I updated this page. Sorry about that but I have been extremely busy. So busy that I have come off a science fiction film shoot to do Wizard of Oz for ballet returned to Tidewater Comicon. Left there and gone straight into Hair and makeup for Community Players of Salisbury’s production of Kiss me Kate. Come in from doing face painting at the Selbyville DE Old Timers Day .  Next up is Fredericksburg Comicon followed by the premiere of Farragut Forward in July. Which springboards into the indiegogo fund raising for the sequel to be filmed this fall. Oh and Ocean City Comicon where I won third place in the costume contest last year has asked me back once again in December when the show expands to 2 days. So yeah I have been a tiny bit busy but I made it out to Dover Comicon this month and to Ocean Renaissance. So pardon my dust as I catch a nap before heading to GenCon in Indianapolis next month end. 

Spring has Sprung

Which means I am hopping busy. So far March has featured back to back weekend conventions and travel to Virginia to see friends. I had a wonderful Easter Mini Photo Shoot with Culling Innovations where the Queen of Hearts showed up to teach Alice the fine art of Croquet in Wonderland. It would appear children may need a new way to get their eggs and candy. April brings with it some smaller local conventions which I hope to attend, but first Charles Townsend is filming a documentary about Women in Cosplay and we have an interview scheduled. After that Ocean City Maryland is hosting both the Ocean Reniassance Festival the  15&16th to be followed by a new convention of its kind. OC Animae will debut April 29 & 30th. I am hoping to be able to find time to check out both if my schedule permits.
Busy working on a new cosplay in preparation for my debut at TideWater Comiccon in Virginia Beach in May. So keep hopping.


Haunting Virginia

September 19 2022 -It is about this time of year every year so far that I have been spending alot of time in Virginia. I spent one weekend in Norfolk checking out the expanded  Tidewater Horror convention  and then just this pat weekend I was back at Hampton Roads for  the 2022 Haunted Screams Expo. True to form I brought costumes and did a little shopping amongst my merchant friends. I was unable to be part of the Monster On Makeup Wars challenge this year as my  makeup artist was away on assignment, but I did manage to bring home second place in the Adult Costume Contest. < Many thanks to Charles A Townsend for the amazing images he captured while at Haunted Screams.>This gives me just a few weeks to get together all the pieces I am making for Culling Innovations Halloween Mini Photo Shoot in Salisbury MD on October15th. But First...I have the distinct honor of having been asked to help with makeups for Farragut Forward a local ongoing Star Trek tribute  You Tube Film short being done locally. So Time to clean up my kit and polish up on my beauty skills.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

August 2022- So fall is finally here. That means I am kicked into high gear once again. Maryland Renaissance festival last weekend. This week I am on the road again to Norfolk VA for TideWater Horrorcon with a quick side trip to  check out this years Howl-O-Scream at BuschGardens Williamsburg. Still working on costumes for next weeks Haunted Screams in Hampton VA as well.  So busy but things keep squeezing into my jam packed schedule with a new special event I just got asked to help out on in Fredrick MD in October...Shh...mums the word for now..must not Jinx it. I have been getting some amazing conversations with a few local independent film makers and discussing their projects.  All this leading up to  my first trip to  FaerieCon in Baltimore in October and as quick trip to World Oddities..all before Halloween. Then there is the HUGE project I have been working on for my return to Ocean City Comicon once again in December. Never fear dear friends things are very active here @ Nightmares & Dayscreams. Can't forget to mention my true new collaborations with David Insley of Culling Innovations coming up in just a few weeks.  Time to get Spooky!! Many thanks to the one and only Father Evil for this stunning photo from our reunion at  Scares That Cares Charity Weekend 2022. 
 **I was So Thrilled to see that FatherEvil recieved a special recognition Award at the New Jersey Horror Film Festival  on September 17th and I truly wish I could have been there to celebrate his special moment with him. Well done my friend. You deserve it.** -xoxo

Fall Flings and Thrills & Chills

This fall has been far busier than most even with Covid still canceling many of my usual haunts. I spent September on the road networking at several regional Horror Conventions with a fan filled time at Monster Mania 47 in Hunt Valley MD where I got to meet Kane Hodder, Richard Dreyfuss and  Robert Englund. I also made special plans to see Zach Galligan. Then I made the hard choice to sit out on the Chesapeake VA MonsterFest this year.  After a short break it was back to work and an week unlike any other. I was asked to return to Trimper's Amusements in Ocean City MD once again to do face painting which is always a creative stretch, but this year the weekend face paint bracketed a whirlwind of photoshoot sessions. One in Philadelphia PA working in tandem with Indulge Images Photography & Tim Warburton of Healing Hands Mobile Massages for a very special and highly secret project that we are all dying to show you. I left there where I was the artist to travel to Norfolk VA for another shoot where I was the model working with the talented ladies at Exxalted Boudoir- but those images are for me & them. But rest assured with me, they were halloweeny .
So here I am just weeks away from Halloween 2021 and faced with the knowledge that I may very well be sitting at home and watching Horror movies from my bed this year rather than venturing out once again. I am bone tired but this is my crazy time of year. Perhaps I will be busier next year or perhaps I may spread things out a bit.
We all know Grinch-mas is coming soon. Even with the store shelves bare and ship cargo sitting on the docks waiting to be delivered. The zombies have shambled on so Sandy Claws nd Krampus can't be far behind. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
