Hello, my name is Jia. :) I have been dressing up in silly costumes since 2003.

I don't keep a blog. I remember how my day went and it was too boring for you to read about. :) I'd rather write about what y'all want to read. So if you'd like to know something about me or cosplay, visit the letters section!

Happy Christmas! See my new Sakura Samurai original design! Photos by the talented Elemental. In the spirit of giving, I've added two tutorials. Also, here's my karaoke DJ pal Denny wearing the xmas prezzie "Aunt Jia" made him. Excuse how dorky we both look.
