You don't have to be a seamstress to appreciate Eggletina's amazing bag and the pins and needles that go with it.

We are excited to revive our cosplay photo posts with one  from the Arrietty/Borrowers photoshoot by @luckyphotoig  we did at Naka before the contest and the Best and Show award was all said and done! 

PS - Thank you for sticking around the past year while we took some time off for A's surgery recovery and life in general. We have a fun backlog of photos to share, but for now...enjoy all the 'big things' !

  • We won Best in Show at Naka-kon 2026 last night!! All that prop building was totally worth it. Everyone brought their A-game and it was a wonderful show. Thank you to everyone who congratulated us already. We really REALLY appreciate how much support we get from the community and we can't wait to show you the full cosplay in upcoming reels and photos!

  • We knew when we first started talking about this cosplay that we HAD to have Pod's light. So I learned a whole new skill just to make a real metal lightbulb base. Cause I'm me. And insane...generally. I'm still definitely rough on my electroplating, but I'm calling this one a win. 

Special thanks to @reckart3d for printing me the bulb base! 

Stay tuned, cause the props are still coming...I think I'm on, like, 18 now? Something like that. 😁 Can't wait to show off this cosplay in just a week! Who else will be at Naka-kon 2026? Come say hi!

  • It's finally getting to my favorite part...getting some color on after days of priming and sanding! It wouldn't be a Borrowers cosplay without Arrietty's hair clip!

About QaR

Quite-a-Riot Cosplay (QaR) is a female duo based out of Nebraska. They identify as cosplayers, performers, and mentors in the con community, with a not-so-secret mission to enable every would-be cosplayer within earshot to achieve their deepest, brightest, cosplay dreams.

Meet Your Maker

Adrienne

Adrienne has a Master’s degree in textile and apparel design, started out competing in Omaha and KC Fashion Weeks, and worked in alterations before she went to her first con and discovered her true people. As a jack-of-all-trades, she patterns, sews, foam-crafts, metalsmiths, paints, dyes, and digitally renders their cosplays, props, and competition books from scratch, collecting new crafting skills like Pokemon with the ultimate goal to catch ‘em all. She also helps out as Cosplay staff for Constellation and hosts Cosplay Camp weekends at her house that she hopes to one day turn into a full-fledged convention of its own, to make learning how to sew more available and affordable.

Performer Extraordinaire

Sara

Putting the ‘dynamic’ in dynamic duo, Sara is QaR’s performance and social media expert. She flexes her belly dancing, flow arts, aerial, fire bending, and drumming skills as a part of Belljahara, Troupe Sicorae, Norsefyre Traveling Circus, and Kokyo Taiko, as well as teaching at 9 Muses Studio in Lincoln, NE. You can find her dance videos on TikTok, Insta, and Facebook @sarasu.dancer.
