50%DANGEROUS

In 2015 the duo made the full transition into its own fashion brand with the release of their first collection Vandaline. From there 50%DANGEROUS made a number of appearances in support of other Japanese Fashion brands such as h.NAOTO and GALAXXXY ROCKS. Sense then they have released their second collection GRAVITY in conjunction with newly established Fashion Collaboration with Japanese rock band Kazha and Actor/Director Vic Mignogna. The duo is now prepping for a 2017 Fashion Show in Tokyo, Japan and enjoying taking GRAVITY to events around the United States.

REIN

Costumer, Propmaker, Hairdresser, Tennessee native and real life anime hero, REIN does it all! As an avid cosplayer since 2012, REIN has picked up quite a few skills and always pushes his limits to potray his favorite characters the best he can. Ever since his first convention REIN has sought to learn as much as possible about cosplay from all over the world and asked as many questions as possible! With several awards and con experience in his inventory, REIN is here to show you everything he has learned! A Craftman turned Tailor, REIN is here to show you how to craft wicked costumes showcasing techniques you can't find anywhere else. His costuming panels pull from his love of bodysuit crafting while Wig-Work panels pool from his career as a licensed Paul Mitchell stylist. With every panel, REIN aims to make sure you leave knowing at least one thing that you didn't know before, you won't have to worry about learning the same old tricks when you see this cosplayer. What started as a very silly hobby a few years ago has turned into a way of life for REIN. Don't ever be afraid to say “Hi” either, the only thing he loves more than Cosplay is friends, especially if they are cosplayers!

Vamp Valley Vixens

Formed in 2015, The Vamp Valley Vixens are Chattanooga's number one cosplay burlesque show. They have spent the last two years bringing all your nerdy, geeky desires to life on stage.

Get ready to stuff up some nose bleeds as (insert dancer's names here) bring your favorite characters to life in the sexiest show this side of Tokyo.

Blue Bunni Cosplay
