I was asked to be a part of this Lion King cast by a group of Master-level cosplayers who I knew (but never had the pleasure of cosplaying with before), as a replacement for one of their friends who couldn't make it to the con. The objective was to make traditional african-inspired Lion King gijinka designs, and make them out of as many recycled materials as possible. This was such a crazy and enticing idea that I agreed to it right away and I started working on the quirky meerkat less than a month before the convention. My sash was made out of a table runner. And my hair was a work of love from talented hairstylists in the group..., not a wig!

I had a super fun time with the other girls in the group. You can see our masquerade skit here, which allowed me to become a Master-level cosplayer myself! We won Best in Show! Gasp!! LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk4dJxEcpBQ

I really had a blast being Timon! Totally my kind of character ;)
