Panels

In my 17 years of experience, I’ve participated in over 100 panels at conventions all across the United States, from Anime Expo to Holiday Matsuri.

My specialties include masquerades/cosplay competitions (introductory, performance, build books) and LGBTQIA+ issues in the con/cosplay community.


Scroll down for more info on my offerings, or head here to learn more about my judging experience.

The only thing I love more than cosplay is talking about cosplay.

Current Panel Offerings

  • What the heck is a build book? What do you even put in it? And do they really expect you to explain your whole costume in 10 pages or less??? Get answers to these questions and more from experienced judge and build book enthusiast Luluko!

  • Join experienced couple cosplayers and decorated masquerade competitors Team LuKa for their tips on crafting an award-winning masquerade performance. You'll learn every step of planning a successful skit: choosing partners, selecting a genre, deciding where to compete, audio tips, and more. (This panel is aimed at intermediate-level competitors, but all are welcome to attend!)
