Snoffy
"Hi, my name is Sophia, but you can call me Snoffy, pronounced “Snow-fee.” I’ve been cosplaying for almost three years, I’m most well known for my cosplay of Vi from Arcane. I got into cosplay in 2022 after being interested since middle school. After being a content creator for ten years, I discovered the cosplay community on TikTok.
The creative aspects of cosplay instantly drew me in. Makeup has always been one of my passions, which of course lends very well into cosplay. But I strive to learn new skills as well. Including sewing, prop making, and wig styling.
Sharing my cosplay journey with the world through TikTok and Instagram is something that has always grounded me when life got crazy. The community I’ve cultivated on social media has fulfilled and inspired me in many different ways."
Logical Dreamer
"I’m Shayla, AKA Logicaldreamer. I officially started Cosplaying in 2015 with the first Medford Comic Con but my experience in dressing up predates that by many years. From dressing up for fun or to go to movies with my mom to judging at the 2024 Meadowlark Cosplay Contest, I always enjoyed the fun and thrill of being in character and costume.
I won the first Adult Cosplay Contest at Medford Comic Con for Marvel's Agent Peggy Carter in 2015. I came in second at the Sam Goodie's Cosplay Contest in 2019 as the Miraculous Ladybug. I was the Winner of Meadowlark's 2022 Lip Sync battle as Anastasia Tremaine. I also came in 3rd for the Ani-Medford Lip Sync Battle 2024 as Wreck-it Ralph's “Comfy” Princess Merida.
I've learned a lot and had so much fun. Thank you for letting me be a part of this community for the last 10 years and for many more to come."
Flamryn
"Howdy! I'm Flamryn, and I've been cosplaying for nearly a decade now! I got into cosplaying from attending local events with thrifted costumes, and now I hand-sew everything and make my own patterns! Cosplay is my favourite way to express my creativity with analyzing costume designs and themes, finding the right fabric and accessories, and putting it all together! I'm a scientist as my day job, so data analytics are my passion, and that bleeds into my cosplay work!
Balancing my passion for science and my passion for cosplay has been challenging these last few years, but I've somehow persevered! My love of sharing what I create with people at conventions keeps me coming back again and again, and as long as myself and others have a passion for art and fandom culture, I will keep doing it! No matter what!"
