Hot Glue & Bobby Pins: Recent Episodes
Hot Glue & Bobby Pins
Welcome to Hot Glue & Bobby Pins, a podcast by cosplayers, for cosplayers and anyone who would like an inside look at the lives of people who make costumes, attend conventions, and post about it on the internet. Sometimes we feel like we have it all together, but sometimes we feel like our lives are held together by hot glue and bobby pins. We invite you to come along and experience it all with us.
Hello, friends! welcome to Season 2!
In this episode we are tackling the "Creator Confessions Tag" which was created by YouTubers Better Off Red and Cate the Great Beauty. It offers some more interesting questions and conversation starters like how we feel about the term "influencer", our favorite part about being fulltime creators, content we despise, and dealings with cancel culture. Hope you brought some biscuits because we're serving some tea today, and having a lot of fun doing it!

Hello, friends! In this episode, we talk about the phenomenon known as purity culture that was most prevalent in the late 90s and 2000s and how aspects of it have seeped into current cosplay culture. April grew up in an evangelical Christian home, and Sophii grew up in a non-religious home, encouraged to explore different belief systems, so we chat about the contrast of our upbringings and how they affect our mindsets pertaining to cosplay and sex work.

hello friends! Today we are looking back on the dumpster fire of a year that was 2020. We are chatting the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Have we had any successes? How have we had to adapt our brands, strategies, and mindsets? We also discuss New Years resolutions, roasting our past selves, and setting new goals for what we HOPE is our year, but we aren't holding our breaths. We hope you'll join us in sneaking into 2021, and seeing what this year has in store for the cosplay community and the world at large.

hello friends! Today we are touching on a topic that we've been wanting to cover since starting the podcast: imposter syndrome! It affects almost everyone I know in some way, so we hope to bring some awareness to this phenomenon by opening up about our experiences with feeling mad sus--about ourselves!

hello friends! this week we discuss a somewhat tricky and touchy subject in our community, and that is gatekeeping/elitism. We focus mostly on gatekeeping, its definitions, the ways it manifests itself, and ways that we have dealt with it. we are not authorities on this issue, and we are still exploring all of the facets of this thing that is prevalent in our community but seldom explored deeply. If you feel we go it wrong, that's fine. But keep in mind, we all have different experiences that lead us to draw different conclusions. Keep discussions civil, please, and sit back , relax, and enjoy the conversation.

*DISCLAIMER SO...apologies for the audio. I was a dummy and didn't make sure the laptop was using the external mic, so it defaulted to using the internal mic even though my nice fancy mic was PLUGGED IN. so anyway sorry, and hope the episode is still palatable. Next episode is back to the usual mic since I will be sure to remember to switch mic sources. ***
Hello friends and welcome to our podcast, Hot Glue & Bobby Pins, hosted by April Gloria and Oh My Sophii. We are both cosplayers and creators based out of Kansas, and are looking to have in-depth conversations about what it's really like to be full-time cosplayers. Episode 3 is all about attending conventions for fun. We covered cosplay guesting last week, so this week we figured it would be great to go through the convention experience through the eyes of an attendee. We hope you enjoy hearing our con stories and tips for making conventions the best they can be!

Welcome to the maiden episode of Hot Glue & Bobby Pins! In this episode we wanted to go deeper than the usual "so how did you get into cosplay?" questions, with anecdotes from our childhood hobbies to embarrassing high school moments, to dealing with internet trolls for the first time. We hope this will give you a little insight on our "journey to cosplay"!
