I recently had some extra fun money to spend, and spend I did on a new screen accurate Captain Marvel cosplay. SIM Cosplay made it for me, and I love it!

I thought I would share some shots taken by Justin Davidson Photography with you.

Captain Marvel Cosplay

Posted on July 25, 2019July 2, 2019 by Kimapult

I recently received my new Captain Marvel cosplay from Sim Cosplay. I spent the extra money for a custom fit, and I’m so glad I did. It is a bit roomy in places, but better too big than too small. All the pieces, including the boots, are included. The quality is great, so I highly recommend working with them when you want to build a new cosplay. Click here for their website.

I’ll do a photoshoot when the heat dies down a bit, as this cosplay is warm to say the least, but until then, enjoy these quick pics!

Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland

Posted on July 22, 2019July 2, 2019 by Kimapult

We recently got a coveted reservation for Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. We had a great time, and when you can, I highly recommend taking a trip there.

Here are some pics from the day. Enjoy!

Before you ride the Smuggler’s Run ride, you get to enter the Falcon, which was a dream-come-true for these nerds.

We did get a reservation time to build our own lightsabers, which was a great experience.

We sampled blue milk, which is delicious…

We finished our trip to Batuu with some shopping. I got this adorable Lando doll!

Literally could not stop taking pictures of the Falcon…

We finished our trip the next day by going to Disney’s California Adventure. We got lucky and got into a character brunch and met Spidey!

Until next time…

InPlainSight.style is going to SDCC!

Notes on Gender References: Let me start with clothes have no gender! However, sometimes I do need to make a gender reference in regards to a piece. I promise the only reason I say, "ladies' boots" or "men's pants" is to let you make note of what department I found them and for sizing. This tends to happen mostly with shoes. You'll be shopping on a site and the sizing listed will be men's for a pair of boots. I own several "men's" pieces in my closet because it does not matter. What does matter is that you guys get the size you need and not an unpleasant surprise when a piece arrives and the sizing is all wrong for your body. This site is for all humans, and I want you to feel welcome. If there is ever anything that I write that gives you pause, please let me know so I can fix it and do better.

Thanks, Duckies!

Kim Henderson McAndrew is an author and blogger known for her bold, self-proclaimed nerdy style and ability to combine cosplay with everyday fashion. Recently, she has begun to integrate goth and kawaii pieces into her wardrobe. While a lover of the occasional screen-accurate cosplay, Kim used her unique style and love of certain fandoms to create every looks to honor superheroes ‘in plain sight’. Over time, friends and fellow cosplayers started encouraging her to publish a guide to help others learn how to do the same. So, in 2016, she launched InPlainSight.style, an all-ages geek/nerd fashion, mash-up cosplay, bounding and lifestyle blog with an emphasis on body confidence and body positivity. As the blog’s popularity grew, so did the demand for a book. So, she decided to combine the articles her readers felt most useful, put them in one place into a workbook-type format and this year Kim published her first book, In Plain Sight: Using Everyday Cosplay to Express Your Inner Superhero (2020). In Plain Sight offers readers a step-by-step guide to getting started with Cosplay, the various types and styles of Cosplay, how to create everyday looks, and the world of Bounding. The book includes shopping guides, sources, convention pack lists, Con pack lists and more. As time passed, Kim's style grew to include more of goth styles she loves, as well as sparkly pink and kawaii clothes, so she changed her brand name to "NerdySparkleGoth.com". Please take a look around, click on the links to shop around and drop a comment if you'd like. All people are welcome here, regardless of size, age, identity. Remember, clothes do not have a gender, so you can wear anything and everything you want! Let Kim help you find those pieces to look and feel your most confident self!
