Hello! Someone posted a photo of my puppet!Angel cosplay in r/buffy and a couple of people asked to see my photo with David Boreanaz, so here it is! (This is a photo of a photo, so not the best quality, but you get the idea.) He was really amused by it and actually didn't let me walk away until his rep had also taken a photo of us together, which I thought was delightful (and then she sent me the photo later! These are good people). Something I thought was funny was that he fully thought I was a dude until I spoke, but so did most people. (I'm a woman.) I had no idea what a great reception this cosplay would have among the fandom, but everyone has been really enthusiastic and nice about it. Couple of questions I keep getting asked:

1. How long did it take you to make the head? I found out DB was coming to DragonCon on August 7, decided to try to do this cosplay on August 9, and finished with a few days to spare before we left for con on August 28. So roughly two weeks all-in. I've never made anything like this before and I'm really proud of how it came out, but if I'd had more time then I would have been able to order some materials that I couldn't find locally, like actual puppet fleece in the correct color instead of polar fleece that is a bit too pale.

2. How are you not way too hot wearing that? I am. But! It's actually not the head that's too hot. It's wearing a jacket that doesn't breathe during August in Georgia! The head itself has pretty good ventilation, and I had a little handheld fan that helped.

3. Where are you looking out of? The eyes. They're made of the same type of screen that goes over doors and windows, which means there's enough substance to paint but when it's that close to my real eyes, I'm looking out of the tiny holes in the mesh and it's like there's actually nothing in the way at all. The problem with visibility is that with the eye holes being roughly 1.5 inches away, if I look down or to the side then I'm looking at the inside of the head, so I can only see straight forward. This made the escalators into an unexpected nightmare. But it was kind of nice that I was able to secretly wear my glasses.

Thank you to everyone who has been so cool about this! Other photos here are me with my mom who was cosplaying the Swedish Chef (definitely headcanoning that puppet!Angel would be friends with him now), my sisters being silly with the head in our hotel room, and one photo from when they asked me to come up on the stage at the Buffy Horror Picture Show, which I was not expecting.

After 25 years of being an Angel fan, I finally realised a bucket list dream of mine and met David Boreanaz , Charisma Carpenter, and J August Richards.

Both David and J said that they liked my coat and outfit so I can now die happy😂

Hopefully I’ll get to meet some more of the cast one day, but it was a great experience attending my first comic-con.

I had the chance to meet Jay August Richards and Amy Acker for a french convention in Paris.

It was the first convention in France for Jay since...forever !

His friendship with Amy is still alive after all these years.

Jay was the true gem of this convention. We discovered with surprise that he talked...french (not fluent but he could make complete sentences). We had a funny moment with him when a fan asked a question in french. When the translator wanted to translate for Jay, he said "wait ! did she say..." and he translated the question in his native language (english) surprising others actors who were there (Amy Acker, KD Aubert, Julia Lee, Jason Behr, Marc Blucas, Kristine Sutherland, Andrew J Ferchland, Mark Metclaf and DB Woodside) and the fans.

RIP Andy Hallet💚

RIP Andy Hallet, you'll always be my favorite💚

These were taken from his instagram, they were posted after the Hellmouth con.

I love these pictures so much! Amy looks so freakin gorgeous as always.

Not Fade Away aired OTD in 2004. While it wasn’t the last we saw of the characters, it was the final time we saw these amazing actors play the roles.

What are your memories of watching the final episode?

Angel's dork dances at the beginning of the episode She caught me off-guard and I laughed my arse off.

Great exchange, great line

Christian Kane and James Marsters are doing an acoustic set at Hellmouth Con in LA this year.

I was at a french convention this week-end and meet Julie Benz, Stéphanie Romanov, Charisma Carpenter and J August Richards. I had with me my damaged Angel and she fell in love with...
