Who is Avallac'h?
This is Avallac'h
(Note, this character comes from an "adult entertainment" video game Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, and you must be 18 or older to buy the game. Assume all videos and pages featuring Avallac'h are NSFW. This guy's a major pervert)
FAQs:
Yes, you can take pictures.
You don't have to ask to take pictures of the car,
but please ask first before taking pictures of me.
No, I'm not an actor, I do not do the masquerades. No interest in such things.
No, I will not join your group in a skit. I don't do skits. Sorry, I Just don't do them.
No, I do not enter the workmanship contests - I am a professional seamstress,
with a college degree in theatrical costume making and pattern design
and do not qualify to enter such events.
I am also driven by my love for the characters, not winning prizes
and have no incentive to enter such things.
While I'm not doing an official book signing at PortCon, you are more then welcome to bring books for signing,
and if you catch me in the hall, I'll be more than happy to sign them for you.
Thank you!
PortCon takes place in 4 separate buildings: the 2 DoubleTree towers, at the Maine Mall across the street, and starting in 2018, now also in the new Hilton building next door to the two towers.

I will be there at all days of the event.

In case you forgot or didn't know, I am OtherKin, ElfKin to be exact, I'm what is known as Genderfluid TransSpecies, a type of Transgender, and this is an Elf, and likely an Elf you will see me, fully "evolve" into, over the next 2 or 3 years. Though born a female Human, I've not identified as either female or a Human since I was 12. |
IMPORTANT NOTE:
PortCon is the ONLY convention I will be at in 2018!
I have been CosPlaying since 1987, 2018 is my 31st year as a CosPlayer. In that time I've done 200+ costumes and usually am seen at as many as 12 events each summer. I know, you usually expect to see me at lots of events throughout the year, however, I've been doing this for 31 years now, and both my age and my health are preventing me from being very active of late.
I have arthritis, hip dysplasia, Parkinson's Disease, Autism (Kanner's Syndrome), PTSD, have 3 ruptured discs in my spine, am blind in one eye and fast going blind in my other eye, am deaf in one ear and can not hear well in the other, and since being attacked by a stalker who left me paralyzed for 5 months and 18 months relearning to walk, I'm now on a cane. My health is not good of late and I am no longer able to make full season of event runs. While I have no plans to retire from CosPlaying, I will be doing far fewer events than you saw me doing in the past.
Since 2013, I've only CosPlayed disabled/crippled characters who use a cane or staff to walk, thus allowing me to incorporate my cane into the CosPlay. That is the case this year. The character Avallac'h is both elderly and crippled and that is why I picked him to CosPlay. The Avallac'h CosPlay includes a staff, which will be replacing my cane.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE STAFF!
It is NOT a prop!
This is an ACTUAL MEDICAL GRADE staff
that I have had custom made for this costume.
I know people like to touch my extremely elaborate, over the top CosPlays, but please be aware,
I am EXTREMELY CRIPPLED and RELY HEAVILY on the cane to be able to walk.
The staff you will see with this costume is real, and I CAN NOT walk without it.
(If you didn't know I am a senior citizen, I'm not sure why, but most people tend to think I'm some 20 to 30 years younger then I actually am, but, yes, I'm old enough to be your grandmother, in fact, you're grandmother is probably younger than me. I seem to be older then most of my fans' grans these days. I does get tiring, young kids in their 30s walking up to me and saying "Gee I wish I was young like you, I'd date you." You're in your 30s, that's means you're a child to me. I was YOUR age back in the 1970s - 40 years ago.)
*sigh*
The emails I'm getting this past week, have made it necessary to add this notation:
No, I will not make a Witcher character costume for you for free and you likely can't afford to hire me to make one for you either.
These movie-set quality costumes cost several thousand dollars and 400+ hours to make,
with the standard dressmaking cost being $25 an hour + 3 times cost of materials,
while it is costing me around $3,000 in materials to make this, you've not counted in the time it took and the cost per hour I would charge you.
$3,000 x 3 + ($25 x 400hr) = $13,000.
You are looking at around $13,000 to hire me to make this Avallac'h costume on this level of craftsmanship for you.

2018 April/May/June Update:
As you know, most of the year I publish 2 to 3 articles a day.
However, every year during convention season, I take a break from that to go full swing CosPlay.
From early April 2018 to late June 2018, article posting schedule will be sporadic, while CosPlay Season and Convention events are going full swing.
During this time period, you can expect most, possible all new articles to be focused on costume making, CosPlay, and the characters I'm CosPlaying.
UPDATE: It's now divided into 7 pages. The primary page "Meet Avallach" is now over 20,000 words long. At this rate, it'll cross 60,000 long before the costume is finished, and that's not including the other 5 pages. The primary page has now crossed 60,000 words and counting, the whole set of Avallac'h pages are now more than 200,000 words long, and more then 500 pictures of Avallac'h and his friends have now been uploaded on these pages, plus there are now 400+ hour-long videos f the costume making process as we record live, every second of this insanely elaborate, over the top CosPlay project.
As of May 19, just 29 days to PortCon we are embroidering his blue coat in a countdown against the clock to finish in time for the event, while we pray that The Dazzling Razzberry will be re-weilded back together and drivable in time for PortCon, after it's recent vandalism by Old Orchard Beach's ever growing Ku Klux Klan problem.
There will still be daily updates, but the BULK of the daily updates will be limited to the pages linked here:

Card Reading - Basic FAQs
Ads by Share-a-Sale
What kinds of readings do you perform?
Crystal Scrying.
Shell Divination.
Spirit Boards (Ouija).
Pendulum Readings.
I do others, including automatic writing, seances, and vision questing, but not as often.
NOTE: I do NOT read Tarot cards. I have never had lessons in Tarot reading and don't know how to perform Tarot deck readings, sorry. It's the single most frequently asked question I get from people. I use oracle cards. While I have dozens of card decks, I specifically do nearly ALL of my readings with one of the following six decks:
What types of readings do you not do?
There is a lot of Hoodoo work I don't do for one reason or another, usually because I'm not trained in that discipline.
I know this may be hard for you to understand, but there's no way around it: if I am not trained to do a thing, I simply can not do it.
Sorry, but just because I know how to read Angel Cards doesn't mean I know how to read Tarot cards. Please don't order an Angel Card Reading from me and add a message asking: "I know this listing is for Angel Cards, but could you give me a Tarot reading instead?" (yes, people do do this.) No, no, i can not give you a tarot reading. Why? well, for one thing I do not own a single Tarot deck. For another thing it takes years to learn to read Tarot cards and I've never even seen a Tarot card and don't know the first thing about them. Maybe someday I'll take lessons, but until that day, I'm sorry, I simply do not know how to read Tarot cards and can not offer a service for something I don't know how to do.
There are thousands of methods of divination out there and just because a person is trained in one method, does not mean they are trained in any other method.
Yes, I have studied a wide variety of divination methods and offer services in those areas.
No, I am not a jack-of-all trades trained in every area of divination and spell work. There are a lot of disciplines I have no training in and simply can not offer services for.
Those things include the following:
Astrology
Astromancy
Break-Up (A Couple/Marriage) Spells
Ceromancy
Cheiromancy
Chirology
Coffee Ground Reading
Doodlebugging
Dowsing
Gematria
Geomancy

Are there any areas (love, money, gambling, success, etc) in which you will not work?
Yes. Several.
I do not consider ANY work which involves breaking up a couple (married or not married).
I do not do any work to bring about divorce.
I do not do any work involving gambling or lotteries, unless it is to help stop a gambling or lottery addiction.
I do not do psychic work (predicting future events.)
I do not do death spells or harmful work (except on very rare occasions for victims of extreme violance, such as in the case of murder, attempted murder, stalking, kidnapping, rape, or violent hate crimes.)
Which of the reading styles you use are most popular with your clients?
Card Readings are by far the most popular/most requested type of reading.
The ArchAngel Deck is the most requested deck.
The most popular spreads are the 3, 5, and 7 card spreads involving love, relationships, life purpose, and luck.
Spirit Board (OuiJa) Readings done with a combination of crystal scrying are the second most popular/most requested type of readings.
Oddly, I keep getting requests for things I don't do as well. The two most common requests for things I don't do are Tarot Readings and "Tell Me What you See"
It doesn't matter how many times I say in my listings or on my site or elsewhere, that I do not read Tarot cards, it still does stop people from sending me messages saying: "I saw you had a listing for Angel Card readings and wondered if you could give me a reading with Tarot Cards instead?" Nope. No. I can not. I do not own a Tarot deck. I've never even seen a Tarot card. I don't know what they look like, I'm not sure I'd know one if I saw one.
And because of my race (I am a Gypsy) I'm daily bombarded (every single day - no less then 3 encounters a day) with locals rushing up to me and blurting out: "I heard you were a Gypsy? are you a good Gypsy or a bad Gypsy?"
ME: Good Gypsy or bad Gypsy? What? What are you talking about?
"I need you to look into my head and tell me what you see...." followed by long life history sob story of boo-hoo and woe is me, ending an hour later with: "so are you a good Gypsy or a bad Gypsy? What should I do about this. Tell me what you see."
ME: Gypsy is a race, like French or Chinese or African American. A Gypsy can be good or bad just like any other person of any other race.
"No. No, Gypsies aren't a race..."
ME: I'm a Gypsy, I ought to know.
"No, Gypsies are a type of witch, like Wiccans and warlocks and..."
ME: Honey, you been watching too many fru-fru movies. Gypsy is a race and has NOTHING to do with career, lifestyle, mode of travel or anything else. Being a Gypsy is determined by your DNA, not what you do.
