Tall Chick Cosplay has been in love with costuming from the time they were a teenager. What started as an obsession with doing theater and working at the yearly Renaissance Festival opened into the world of cosplay around 2008. Since then Tall Chick has worked hard putting together character cosplays from all genres. They have been working on their sewing, crafting, and prop skills with great results. Charity work is very near and dear to them and they are a member of several local organizations. Seeing the expansion of cosplayers from all walks of life is exhilarating and welcoming new and returning cosplayers is always a joy. If you see them around Soonercon please feel free to say "hi." ????
