Madfest Brisbane 2019 Recap

8 / 30 / 198 / 30 / 19
Brisbane Madfest 2019 Event Recap

If you’ve been listening to the Pixel x Pixel podcast (and if you’re not, you should!), you’ll know that I’ve frequently lamented the fact that I haven’t been to a geek convention in a long time. Well, back in May, I fixed that!

I had the opportunity to go to the Madman Anime Festival, or Madfest, in Brisbane as a media attendee, and I spent both the Saturday and Sunday (May 25-26) seeing everything the convention had to offer. This was my first time attending any Madfest convention, and though it was smaller than I expected (just one hall in the Brisbane Convention Centre), it was packed full of fun!

Sunday Spotlight: Ms. Visual Grammar

7 / 10 / 16

Sunday Spotlight Chic Pixel

Despite only being a little over a month old, Linda’s Ms. Visual Grammar blog has already rocketed to the top of my favorites! She has a great eye for all things cute and nerdy, and a slightly larger focus on makeup and fashion than you’ll find here at Chic Pixel. I just can’t get enough!

Linda aka Ms. Visual Grammar as Reese from Animal Crossing! It’s her first cosplay, and she knocked it out of the park!

Linda covers everything from conventions and cosplay to cute figures and awesome illustrators, so if you’re a fan of Chic Pixel or any of the things mentioned, I highly recommend her site! I especially love her weekly Fashion Friday series; Linda has a great sense of style, and I’ve already gotten a few ideas for my own wardrobe from her posts!

If you enjoy Ms. Visual Grammar, be sure to also follow her on Instagram. Her photos always brighten my day!

Sunday Spotlight: XO Mia Cosplay and Geek Lifestyle Blog

10 / 4 / 1510 / 4 / 15

Sunday Spotlight Chic Pixel

Happy first Sunday of October! For the first Spotlight of the month, I’d like to urge you all to check out Mia, an awesome cosplayer and blogger at XOMia.com.

I first learned of Mia’s site after stumbling into photos of her adorable Isabelle cosplay. I love how all of the Animal Crossing characters in the group photo above have been translated to humanoid versions, but Mia’s Isabelle takes the cake. She even has a makeup tutorial if you want to recreate the look yourself!

Like me, Mia specializes in all things cute and nerdy, but her particular area of focus tends to be cosplay and con recaps. I don’t go to a lot of cons myself, so I really love being able to live vicariously through her! If those things sound up your alley too, I definitely recommend her fun site.

The character designs are done by Kimihiko Fujisaka, who also worked on Drakengard, Nier Replicant, and The Last Story! I still need to play The Last Story… 😅 I can’t decide if I’ll pick up Voice of Cards on release but it’s a pretty interesting premise! Worth trying the demo if you like card-style games and D&D sessions 🐉

I’ve decided to try the Weeks for the first time because I have a fair bit of space left in my Day Free, and I’ve heard great things about the Weeks! Also how could I not get this adorable cover?! I also picked up some Earthbound notebooks in Weeks size and really pretty Kitta washi strips. Do you like to use the Hobonichi or another planner?
