S1 E9 The Cosplay Crunch W/ Phee Cosplay

In episode 9 of The Cosplay Crunch, Zavage and Phee discuss their first connection via Fire Emblem and the importance of finding cosplay friends. Phee shares her first convention experience under less than desirable circumstances (re: abandoned warehouse), we walk through her “unique” and unconventional cosplays, discuss experiences with OF, and touch on body confidence and the transformative nature of cosplay. For some reason, GI Joe cosplay contest drama comes up in 2024? All of this and much, much more on this week's episode!

Phee is a cosplayer and content creator who has been attending anime cons since 2009. As a kid, she had always enjoyed crafting and anime but couldn't find costumes for certain characters so in 2015 she started to make her own cosplays. Phee is most known for her video game cosplays from series such as Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Xenoblade. She has been featured in magazines including Cosplay Realm and various fanzines. Recently she attended Ikkicon 2024 as a cosplay guest. Phee is a jack of all trades– her specialties in cosplay involve winging almost every piece and strategically covering up mistakes to make them seem intentional. Her favorite part about cosplaying is being able to connect with others who share a mutual love for a series. Outside of cosplay, Phee enjoys traveling internationally and is a big advocate for positive psychology and healthy living.
