Anonymous asked: OH MY GOODNESS your patty costume is absolutely amazing!

Thank you so much! It’s my very first attempt at any cosplay ^_^

Patty thompson cosplay near completion!!! I just need to put laces in my boots, and make that gosh darned hat! I’m nervous to wear this cause I’m still heavier than I’d like to be and I’m super self conscious about it.

Let’s go through the list, shall we?

  • Stalking Cat was a computer programmer before he passed away earlier this year. He was Native American and trying to become closer to his totem animal. Through this, he helped pioneer all types of body modification and holds several Guinness Book Records.
  • Erik Sprague, aka Lizard Man, was a former PhD candidate. He has a bachelor’s in philosophy and is a performance artist: both through international side shows and as a music festival host.
  • Maria Jose Cristerna aka “La Mujer Vampiro”  (Vampire Woman) is the mother of four children and a fuckin’ lawyer. She started her transformation after getting out of an abusive marriage, and has talked out against domestic violence.
  • Rick Genest aka Rico The Zombie is a fucking international model, has more sponsorships than any of us could ever hope, and was featured in Lady Gaga’s Born This Way video. Not bad for a 27-year old former homeless punk, I’d say.
I’m willing to bet you haven’t accomplished nearly as much as any one of these people. They’re not only heavily tattooed, but they’re also impressive as all hell in the “employed” department. But don’t worry about it—feel free to keep trying to make yourself feel better about your average life, average body, and average accomplishments.
 
Successful, employed, intelligent, body mod legends.

My mom was on BME for about 10 years. She’s talked to the Lizard Man several times. Correction about the Vampire Woman. She was a lawyer. Now she’s a piercer, I think. 

anekie: givemeajobplease: This was a man, dressed as a plant, making pigeon noises at people walking by. I said hello, asked if it was okay to take his picture, and then asked why he was dressed as a plant. He said, “I’m just working through some stuff. Thank you for asking. No ones asked yet.” I’ve been dealing with stuff the wrong way.
