Join us today as we dive into the topic of cosplay styles. To our surprise there are more distinct cosplay styles than we previously thought. Some are very well defined from the other styles while others interlap quite a lot with eachother. Grab a cup of tea/coffe and sit on back and lets talk about all the different styles of cosplaying.

All of us who love cosplay want to do it as frequently and as limitless as possible, so we may think towards cosplay as not just a hobby, but a job opportunity. Get your cup of tea/coffee, sit back, relax and join us on this week's podcast, as we dive into our experiences with the financial and business sides of cosplay. This is more focused towards the Slovenian cosplay scene, but it's general enough to be applied to and useful to worldwide audiences of cosplayers and lovers of cosplay.
We talk about the different ways cosplayers can earn money in relation to cosplay like making props and cosplay and commissioning it to other cosplayers or just generally crafting things for clients that may be unrelated to cosplay like 3D printed objects; Appearances - a great way to get visibility and exposure but not as lucrative; selling prints as well, but still all worth it if you're not in it all just for the money. Also there is social media like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter etc. and the ways to make money with that - sponsors, promoting your own merchandise, etc. and other platforms to gain money, like Patreon or Onlyfans. Combined, these smaller job opportunities add up to a bigger sum of money which offer a possiblity to make a good earning as a cosplayer, but still not enouth to make a living with the life standard today. Things are changing so maybe soon it will be a possibility to more than a few cosplayers to use cosplay as a means to earn money, or just to have their cosplay hobby expenses all covered and then some.

This week's podcast is very special, because we are recapping Mofucon 2023. We had a lot of fun at Mofucon 2023 and today we go into all that went on at the con. We touch on the general happenings at the con; the cosplay competition; and our very own Klara's double win, snatching not only the prize for crafting but also audience choise vote or "fan favorite". We talk about her process of creating the whole cosplay extravaganza, with not only one, but two looks. On top of that also featuring another one of her pokemon themed cosplays, Mimikyu, which she debuted at Makkon 2019. We include a lot of the footage from the competition, featuring her performance and many other cosplayer's performances from the competition. Cosplayers are the heart of any conventions and the same was at Mofucon 2023. We had amazing cosplays, show-stopping performances. We had acting, dancing, even whipping and full on battles. We also talk about our highlights and a few not so great experiences at the con. With that said, Mofucon was an amazing convention and it's been a great way to close the cosplay season for 2023. Thank you Mofucon and thank you to all the cosplayers, helpers, fans, contestants, judges, and everyone else for making Mofucon 2023 amazing!
