Cosplay Gems: Recent Episodes
Jade and Pearle
Ever had a cosplay malfunction? So have we! Jade is a costumer. Pearle is an actor and makeup artist. Together these gems recount their misadventures in Geek-dom and the things they've learned along the way.
This week, the Gems are here with a short episode to update everyone on what is coming, and how they have been affected by the pandemic. We will be back as soon as we can, and we will continue to deliver the same quality content, and audio that we strive to deliver week after week. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Join the Gems this week as they discuss the things that they have been doing to keep themselves occupied during quarantine and social distancing, The fact that con season 2020 has been all but officially cancelled, and how to fight the sneaky depression Goblin when you are stuck at home with no face to face interaction.
If you, or someone you know are struggling with depression, be it a normal occurrence, or derived from this period of isolation. Don't ignore it, reach out and lend a hand, or ask for help. You are meant to make a difference in this world, don't let the isolation be the thing that keeps you from making your impact. Additionally, if you or someone you care about are stuck isolated with someone who is abusive. You don't have to live with it. Please reach out, please get help. We've provided links below for our American listeners, and request that our non-American listeners share their local resources with us on twitter @cosplaygems.

We want to give a special thank you to our audience for tuning into this episode. We realize that things are a little tense at the moment, and we hope that these episodes can give you a small moment of joy and reprieve from the things going on right now.
In lieu of mentioning the Patreon this week, we ask that you check in with your family, friends, and neighbors to make sure they are healthy, and taken care of. We know some people are in financially tough spots, and we want to raise awareness for those who are not able to properly provide for themselves or their families due to losing work from shutdowns.
