Ahoy!
It’s been a minute, but we’ve been hard at work at FujoCon to add even more guests to our lineup. Over the last few weeks we’ve been pleased to welcome the cosplayers KingKitsu, Toastie, and Velours Requiem to our lineup 🙌
Representation matters to us at FujoCon, so with that, we are super excited to have an advocate like KingKitsu. Kitsu is a trans cosplayer of color who has been cosplaying since late 2012. He loves to show his support to those who are minorities in the cosplay community and cheer them on and try to uplift their spirits when they get discouraged in the cosplay community. He enjoys multiple areas of creativity in creating cosplay including wig styling, armor building, and sewing. He mostly enjoys entertaining people with his content of things to make them smile or laugh. I know when we got his info in several of us gushed over his Innosuke cosplay. You can follow KingKitsu on Instagram or Facebook.
We’re also so happy to have some local representation for North Texas with the dynamic duo of Toastie & Velours Requiem. Staples of the local con scene, Toastie and Velours are bringing some bishie realness to our lineup and we are living for it. (Still not over that Victor cosplay, y’all)
Toastie is a North Texas cosplayer who enjoys using her craft as a way to build friendships and to channel her inner creativity. She has been cosplaying since 2011 and enjoys using cosplay as a way to share her favorite character interactions with her community, whether they be canon or not. Toastie often likes to cosplay various character types with her partner in crime, VeloursRequiem. In her free time, she enjoys drawing, drinking boba tea and snuggling her cat, Kleenex.
Velours Requiem is a self taught Texas cosplayer who has created over 100 costumes. Her craftsmanship has landed her several awards and even the opportunity to have worked as a promotional model for the BL Webcomic series Teahouse. These days, you can find her working on her fashion brand as well as cosplaying with her partner in crime, Toastie. In her spare time she enjoys figure skating, playing mobile phone games, and being ferocious.
You can follow Toastie & Velours on their Instagrams. We can’t wait for those new cosplays, they’re going to be 🔥
