S2 E7 The Cosplay Crunch W/ Remy Domino

PLUS ULTRA ~ Or something like that! For this episode of the Cosplay Crunch, we invite Remy Domino to delve into the vibrant world of cosplay and conventions. We get the low down on the Louisiana convention scene and changes throughout the last decades and get to know more about Remy’s experiences throughout her cosplay journey. We explore her past and current creative expression found through various art forms.. and TikTok, the significance of character connections, and reflections on the beloved series (and mild Remy addiction) My Hero Academia. We mourn old conventions such as MechaCon, and look forward to a new experience at Holiday Matsuri this December. We get some advice on prop making and highlight the importance of community in cosplay and the joy of connecting with others who share similar passions.

Remy Domino is an award winning cosplayer from New Orleans with over…:many” years of cosplaying under her belt. Entirely self-taught, she started off with sewing back in 2005 and over the years she worked up to learning advanced techniques with a specific focus on the use of thermoplastics, foam and painting. Over time she gained the confidence to compete in cosplay contests with her creations and present panels on all she's learned. Remy is always looking to learn something new and try out new materials, each character presenting a special challenge and a new opportunity. Her craftsmanship and creations have developed over the years into a cosplay style of her own as she continued to draw inspiration from comics, anime and video games. She especially enjoys genderbends and crossplay! This creative style of cosplaying has become her signature move! When Remy's not living the cosplay life or managing social media, she works as a practicing attorney (just like Daredevil!) Somehow she still finds time to do it all!
