Greetings!

Hai!

My name's Melinda (but you can call me Mel) and I'm a scifi cosplay addict

I've been entertaining the thought of joining the dark side for a while now, but I finally decided to give it some serious consideration and join up (Darth Vader made me do it! ;p)

I know a few of you already, and every year I'm usually found posing for silly photos with the crew at places like Supanova (I do enjoy posing in silly photos, in case you haven't already guessed haha)

I'm currently studying fashion design at TAFE so I can legitimise my obsession with making costumes and crazy clothing. I've always been inspired by the amazing work you lovely people do, and the creativity and skill that goes into creating the costumes and props is just awesome! I have much to learn

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Best Wishes!
Mel

Welcome Mel, as I'm fond of saying "Growing old is compulsory, growing up however is completely optional"
You've gotta ask - why are the kids having all the fun? Play dress ups with them
My partner Lisa (LadyTarkin) has also just joined this fun band of people.
I'm sure you'll get lots of help, assistance and ideas from the fine people in this garrison.

Welcome to the Redbacks Spacefairy.

As a member of the Redbacks you will find that you will be able to pose for as many silly photos as you like, and maybe even challange for Hoppy's title of "the photobomber".

Any ideas on what costume you plan to start with?
