Hi, you new here?
My name is Candace. I go by Plexi. She/her, but I cosplay a lot of male-presenting characters. I think it stems from a feeling of wanting to become the things I admired most, and for a while, it was androgynous floppy hair men. Still is sometimes, but I love my mommies too.
Anyway, I spend a lot of my time making video game related costumes, although you may have seen my work in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, etc for pop culture stuff like Kpop Demon Hunters props.
I am an international cosplay judge, and I am a teacher of workshops. I manage a library makerspace and teaching kitchen while also being employed by game companies and conventions on a contract basis.
My favorite quote is, āLife is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.ā
I believe in kindness, willingness to change opinion in the face of new information, and great work ethic.
I turn 40 next year. I am an elder cosplayer, so I go to bed early at conventions and slam Sport Beans to power through.
