More than 100 participants for our Cosplay Inspiration

Thank you guys so much! Right now we already have more than 100 participants for our Cosplay inspiration project!

Read about what drives Cosplayers to go out there:

Sarahkitty Cosplay

“Cosplay is one of the purest forms of self expression. I’ve been shy my entire life, and when I put on a costume, I feel like an entirely different person. Attention and conversations suddenly become fun! I’m incredibly passionate about the time I spend on making my cosplays, and showing off my hard work is exhilarating. There’s really nothing like the cosplay community, honestly. Everyone is so open and welcoming.” – Sarahkitty

Pyxl Cosplay

“Cosplay means being able to take any character you love or admire and portray them yourself. It’s a chance to become a living, breathing version of a character, which is an amazing experience for you and others who love the character. It means having fun and always giving yourself new goals, thinking up new ideas, learning to use new materials, and always being proud of your achievements.” – Pyxl

Little Red Cosplay

“Cosplaying means embodying a character that I love, and getting to share it with like-minded fans and friends. I means feeling safe to love what you love, and share that love with other people without worry of judgement. Going to an Expo has always been a huge event within my social group, and we make quite the event out of it every year, so it means getting to share a wonderful experience with those closest to me. There are few times I have felt more confident than when I Cosplay, so it also reminds me to think better of myself” – Little Red

Six Secrets To Success By Arnold Schwarzenegger

1. Trust yourself

Trust yourself, dig deep down and ask yourself: “Who do you want to be?”. Not what, but who! Not what your parents or teachers wants you to be, but you! Figure out for yourself, what makes you happy, no matter how crazy it may sound to the people.

2. Break the rules

We have so many rules in life about everything, break the rules! It’s impossible to be a true original if you are to well behaved and not able to break the rules, you have to think outside the box. What is the point of being on this world if all you want is to be liked by everyone. The only way that I ever got any place was by breaking some of the rules

3. Don’t be afraid to fail

Anything that I’ve ever attempted I was always willing to fail. You can’t always win, but don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision and you know that it is the right thing to do, success will come.

4. Don’t listen to the naysayers

How many times have you heard: you can’t do this, you can’t do that. It has never been done before. I love it when someone says that no one has ever done that before, because that means that if I do it, that means that I am the first one that has done it. Pay no attention to people that say that it can’t be done.

5. Work your butt off

Leaving no stone unturned. Muhammad Ali, one of my greatest hero’s had a great line when he was asked: “How many sit ups do you do?”. He said: “I don’t count my sit-ups, I only start counting when it starts hurting, that is when I start counting, because then it really counts, that’s what makes you a champion”. That’s the way it is with everything, no pain, no gain!

Someone out there at the same time is working hard, someone is getting smarter, remember that! I’ve always figured out that there is 24 hours a day, you sleep 6 hours. That means you have 18 hours left. I know that some of you out there answers: “Wait a minute I sleep 8 or 9 hours”. Well, than sleep faster I recommend.

6. Giving back

Whatever path that you take in your life, you must always find time to give something back. Give something back to your community, give something back to your state or your country. Reaching out and helping people will bring you more satisfaction than everything else you’ve ever done!

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” – C.S. Lewis

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all.

It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.” – Ayn Rand

“Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.” – Marianne Williamson

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” – Marilyn Monroe, Marilyn

Interview with Alinity Divine

Alinity Divine Twitch streamer

  • Natalia is a twitch streamer from Colombia with more than 85k followers.
  • She has been living in Canada for the last 4 years now.
  • follow her on facebook: alinity.divine
  • follow her on twitter: alinity88
  • check out her youtube channel: Alinity Divine

“I realize that there are always areas for improvement, I try and do my very best, I am humble about my achievements and I don’t have unrealistic expectations of it” – Alinity Divine

What is it like being a streamer?

It is a lot of fun. The idea that I am able to share a part of myself with people around the world is incredible. I have met so many wonderful people because of my stream and the idea that I can make someone’s day better just by being myself is very rewarding.

Who have been your biggest influences/roll-models/mentors?

I don’t think I have an answer for this question. My life has been influenced by a set of experiences, some wonderful, others very difficult that I have overcome and have taught me how strong I can be. As a Colombian living outside of my country of origin I look up to Colombian women that are famous, such as Shakira and Sofia Vergara; their personalities help me understand myself a bit, in how I am outgoing and in tune with both my emotions and my body.

Why do you think you’ve become successful while others have failed trying to do the same thing you do?

I think that measuring one’s success in how many people watch your channel or how “popular” you are, are one of people’s first mistakes. I think I am successful because I have fun doing it. I take streaming seriously when I need to, but not seriously enough to let the trolls get to me. I take the same approach with streaming as I take with many things in life: I realize that there are always areas for improvement, I try and do my very best, I am humble about my achievements and I don’t have unrealistic expectations of it. I think that if there are others that have “failed” at streaming, they have other areas in their lives that they excel at.

What accomplishments are you most proud of?

Probably those that have been the most difficult. I have learned that I appreciate most those things that I have work hard for: moving out of my home country and taking care of myself, going back to university in Canada, paying for my own school. I really appreciate the feeling of independence that comes with it.

Your viewers get a lot from your stream, what do you get from streaming?

I probably get just as much as they do. I love being on camera, when I was a little girl I used to talk to myself on the mirror. I love talking in general, I have always feel the need to express my thoughts and feelings and streaming is a great opportunity for it. I get to learn something new every day from my chat, from how to say “hello” in French to what the best latest movie is. We often get into existential/political/religious discussions in chat and I try not to step on anyone’s toes and be respectful of everyone’s believes and I think I do a good job at it.

Pivotal experiences shape who we are. Can you share a life defining moment for us?

Moving to a new country on my own, new culture, new language. It gave me a completely new perspective on life. Having to take care of myself on my own gave me a lot of strength I didn’t know I had.

Thank you for the Interview Natalia!
