On the same stage as the EMMYS?! | The life and times of a Cosplay Judge at Anime Expo 2025

In early July 2025, I had an amazing opportunity to be a cosplay judge / VIP at Anime Expo in LA, USA. This convention has over 100,000 attendees, 900 artist alley booths, and a cosplay masquerade held at the Peacock Theatre - aka. the stage where the Emmy's take place.

It was a wild ride from Perth to LA for a total of 5.5 days in total, but oh lord, was it FUN.
