FOR BOOKING:
Please email my booking management at booking@limebarb.com. Make sure to let us know what you are interested in booking!

Do you like what you see here? Well, you’re in luck because costume making happens to be my full time job! Please check out the main page limebarb.com for more information on getting your own cosplay costume OR having myself and the limebarb staff design and create an original design just for you!

Check out limebarb.com for prime examples of mine and my staff’s work.

I am available for modeling, and am always looking for new photographers to work with! I have many years experience shooting, mostly with in-house projects related to limebarb.com. I have a huge costume and fashion collection at my disposal! I have a lot of fancy ideas brewing in my head for epic photoshoots! The oppotyunity to work with photographers with visionary, experimental, or unique concepts are things I DREAM about! ^_^

I have at my disposal: Truckloads of costumes! Many fantasy outfits, cosplay outfits, 40’s to 50’s pin-up outfits, fetish outfits, a lot of ridiculousness, and the dedication of a non-stop work-a-holic!

Compensation: Paid work or TFP in select cases.
Stipulations: I only shoot if I am provided with a cd/prints of shoot at the end of each session.
Availability: Available in the Chicago area. I am available for travel when expenses are paid by photographer.

I have been invited as a special guest to multiple cons throughout the past few years. I have had a lot of fun, and I am happy to meet fans, new friends, and give out some of my extensive costuming knowledge to listening ears!

Some may scoff at a cosplay guest – but I can tell you that I am the only cosplayer who supports herself  (who doesn’t live in their parent’s house and I have a staff of 2 other full time employees, 3 part time, 2 interns) with cosplay. Limebarb.com IS the LARGEST cosplay commission business in the western hemesphere. I think that counts for something! ^_~

I am available for:
-cosplay contest judging – I have 8 years experience as a professional costume designer and fabrication, making over 300 client costumes a year.
-hosting workshops and panels on a variety of costume-related topics.
-the display of my costumes or art work in a gallery setting.
-wearing at least one costume each day
-autograph signings.
-the organization, and production of a fashion show, or display featuring my costumes or limebarb.com brand clothing.
-stage performances featuring dance, epic display of costumes, magic quick-changes.
-burlesque performances for your 18+ crowd
-the creation of a brand new costume (of your choosing!) to debut at your event is negotiable!

Compensation: Travel and board to be paid by convention/event. Booth space is also a plus.
Stipulations: I am only available for panels, stage shows, presentations, judging, etc if I have guest status. I require at least 2 months notice before events for proper planning, especially if you are interested in a stage show of any kind.
Availability: I am available for travel within the USA, and the outside the USA.

Please email for my guest bio and access to my print-quality photo archive!

<<pictures: TNT, Mexico City 2008! Here are some pics of my trip to Mexico City, as a guest for TNT 15! It was a great experience, I took part in judging 3 costume contests, signing autographs, and meeting lots of great new friends!

My ‘night job’ is burlesque performances under the stage name BonnyBabs! I often perform several shows a week in the Chicago area. If you are interested in a burlesque show at your event of convention I am more than capable of providing! If you are looking for a stage show that is more family-friendly that features my elaborate costuming then it is certainly negotiable.

Myself, and my costumes are available for fashion shows, which can be a great, colorful, exotic  event added to a convention, or club event.

Please check out BonnyBabs.com for clips of my shows.

Compensation: Paid work only, contact us to discuss rates.
Stipulations: I require a written contract covering payment and the obligations of each party, involved prior to scheduled event. In most cases I need at least one month notice prior to events to make proper arrangements.
Availability: Available in the Chicago area. I am available for travel when expenses (travel and board) are paid by event.
