I embroider in the dead of night, for the attention of strangers.' Be Dazzled is adorable, soul warming, plain old fun, relatable, down to earth, a fun peak into a different world with right amount of geekiness. Now, Raffy is after the perfect comeback, one that Luca can't ruin.īut when Raffy is forced to partner with Luca on his most ambitious build yet, he'll have to juggle unresolved feelings for the boy who broke his heart, and his own intense self-doubt, to get everything he's ever wanted: choosing his art, his way.more But Luca's insecurities and Raffy's insistence on crafting perfection caused their relationship to crash and burn. They almost made the perfect team last year after serendipitously meeting in the rhinestone aisle at the local craft store-or at least Raffy thought they did. Raffy's ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition.

If he can wow there, it could lead to sponsorship, then art school, and finally earning real respect for his work. He's always chosen his art over everything-and everyone-else and is determined to make his mark at this year's biggest cosplay competition. Not just bedazzling, but sewing, stitching, draping, pattern making-for creation. So I nervously made my across the room to her, going through my mind was what can I say to her? Anyway, we start to talk, and it turns out that she could not have been more opposite from the character she was playing.Raffy has a passion for bedazzling. Doesn't matter though, looks are not everything and what I was really amazed at was her intelligence, her humour and her strength. When I saw her, of course at this point she had taken out those extentions and her wonderful long red hair was much shorter. I get to the party, do the usual smoozing and talking to people, yes you were amazing, oh yes I did notice the small 'busy' acting you were doing to keep the scene alive but not detract from the lead.etc, etc, etc. Then I shall get to know her more, I must! So using my contacts I got myself invited to the after show party.

I mean I have been around theatre and the arts for a while and whilst I have seen many a female who was beautiful or sexy or what ever, I had never come across one so brilliant.

I was thinking as I was watching this production that she just lit up the stage, was totally mezmarising and there was no way that it could all be acting. She was playing this wonderful character that was smart and strong. I will kick things off by saying that I have never gone out with a cosplayer as such, I have dated an actress or two (noone famous, just amature theatre) and yes I am willing to admit that I have fallen for someone based solely on the character they were playing. Please note that this shouldn't be used as a thread to bag people, or rant against the evil corporate empires that use this day to wring money from people. Share all your funny and/or romantic stories :) Have you ever 'fallen' for someone at a con, but once you met up without the costumes did you find the attraction gone? Was it at a con? Were you both costumed? Perhaps one of you converted the other tell us about that. So if you are in a relationship with a cosplayer or have been, tell us how you met. Seeing as how today is valentines day, I thought I might just throw out a few questions and see if we can't all share some stories and the like. Hello to all those that have chosen to read this and I hope that you are well :)
