I was a Cosplay Repair Medic for LvlUp Expo!

oh hi, today we are on the floor so my tea looks like a fireplace right now, that's very funny and also very appropriate, anyway, it's Hogwarts, not long ago, I uploaded a video on Instagram

and now It went a little viral, usually. When I say people ask me how this was made or what's in it and stuff, I'm lying, but actually this time a lot of people individually approached me to tell me what's in the bag so I can do that too. I'm going to break it down. I'll tell you everything that happened and what I had, what I needed and what I didn't and all that kind of stuff.

I should probably go look for it, so I sat down. Well, first things first. here's the corset belt pouch basically this is the first layer so we continue here it's nice on the outside and ugly on the inside and I'm okay with this being five millimeter EVA foam with something like a little bit of fabric wrapped over it and then some eyelets to keep everything in place, there is a corset in the back and also in the front, yes as you will notice it is very wide for a belt because it has a lot of weight so it is nice to have a thick belt. when you're carrying weight, I based it on this pattern that I love so much.

I found it on Pinterest. Wow, if I had time to do that I would have, but this was like a quick last minute thing. So, well, what's going on here? We have a cosmetic bag and a

medic

al bag in the cosmetic bag. Let me show you what I have. Duct tape or duct tape would have just been thin bobby pins, scrunchies or small rubber bands, lots of safety pins for Sure, I have twine and I have Lifesavers. I'm not sure why, but now what I wish I had was more makeup supplies, so, a lot of people like flaky body paint, so if I had a rainbow palette, a bright shadow that probably would have been the best if I could have done it.

I'll know next time, the next

medic

al bag. Now I'm sure there are, but honestly, I didn't see many real medical stations in the centers, so I brought everything first just in case. First up are tampons, pads, and ibuprofen, we have band-aids, not so much for cuts and bruises, but for blisters on the back of your heels, and a wrap. It's pretty funny, the person I was traveling with needs some of this, so I was like, oh, do you need this? They had like an injured wrist, so yeah, and that's for the medical bag, the things I'd like. have here.

Actually, medical, I didn't really need much, fortunately, I think I do want it. I had brought some super glue uh again for the blisters because, by the way, this is an old trick. I know hikers and quilters use this and I happen to be both if you put super glue on any part of your skin that needs extra protection. It works like a second skin. This is now like putting super glue on top of the blisters. It's supposed to go on top of the cuts after closing the skin. It's going to be immensely better because nothing can get in.

It will dry in seconds. and then you have a second skin that doesn't come off, that's it, this is not the only thing I used, let me go with that, okay, so I had a couple more things, so on this belt here it also screams. to my friend Ryan, who makes these belts. Impeccable work, beautiful work, really check them out. He had hand sanitizer and you don't need to have this, but he had a little bag of chocolate gold coins because, as Lupine told me, eat chocolate and you'll feel it. I better get help with emotional needs after uh, I also had a hand mirror, are you, this was very urgent, especially people who needed makeup touch-ups or fixing an amulet or whatever.

Like you need a boom, here you go, that's it. I also had this. I kept it separate just because it honestly didn't fit in the other bags, but this one had all the sewing stuff, uh, sewing and mending things, so if you want. To be a

cosplay

doctor, you have to know how to sew a button, that will be what comes out. I suggest having a pair of needles ready to go, needle and thread already prepared and double threaded. um, it's not white, maybe like a tan. I used to like it. a light gray, uh, chances are pretty good if they come to you for help, they won't be picky about the color you choose for your thread.

I had other colors just in case, but have it ready to use double-sided. It's already knotted and will save you a lot of time because people bump into you. You have nowhere to leave things. You know, so you just fly with it. Plus, of course, there's not just a needle and thread. also travel scissors that kind of stuff and then this was the networking event for the real starless show this is basically Super Glue but it's actually going to hold your stuff a lot of the people that came to see me had things made like hot glue and That's just not going to be enough, but if you don't know how to use it, this is a classic EVA foam, you basically stick one side, stick the other and then wait a second until they get sticky and then you can stick it and then it will stay until you die, so have some, let's see.

I think that's all I brought with me, yeah, just the only things that I think I was missing, oh, also cloth tape, cloth tape, um is. specifically cloth to skin tape, um, I had, I think one or two girls asked for that and I didn't have anything, so I put some cloth tape on you, but other than that, I think it's a sample of everything that you said. about the time I spent there first of all it was super fun oh wait a minute there's one more thing I forgot oh I have to get up again oh my gosh the real centerpiece of all of this so here we go um the flag that's how the people I know where to find you and that you are helpful.

What you're getting here is a curtain rod from Walmart for five dollars. This is also EVA foam that I put some fabric on and then painted it with just acrylic paint, you don't need it. anything special I have it on both sides, that's pretty funny, they had me review this as an accessory. I think I'm not going to be okay, whatever it is now, I think that's it, I think that's it now. I can tell you about the time I spent there, so first of all, it was extremely fun. I met a lot of very friendly and interesting people that you don't normally meet.

I would also say that this is a really good costume. for those who want to go to a con but also have no one to go with. I had people who went with me. I'm very grateful and lucky but sometimes it's not like that so it's really nice to have this because your staff now you're just staff you're just walking around and it's cool but other than that I think it was really nice to meet people we gotta have a really fun time and there is a real need for a cosplay. doctor, it was kind of surprising how there's only one of me, there should be at least 50 of me, you know, 50 doctors at any convention at any time, so you're like, oh, they're going to be doctors too, believe me, you are.

You will have work, you will not be bored for a minute and for those who are thinking about becoming a doctor, please do it. The need is great. I need as many as you can and you will have a lot of fun. Let me know if you have any. questions in the comments I'm sure I forgot something so please contact us, I read every comment, I read every one, I get it right, my camera is about to die so that's it for me. See you next time, bye.
