Celebrating my 10-year career! It’s in 2011 that a tabletop game company called Soda Pop Miniatures (now Ninja Division) contacted me. They were looking for a cosplayer to bring to life their company’s mascotte Candy and asked if I knew a costumer they could hire to build Candy’s costume. ‘I’m a costumer!’ I said. At the time, I was known more as a model than as a cosplayer and costumer.
It took me one year to develope this costume. The collar, sleeves and skirt were made of fake leather. The belt was cut in a metal sheet, folded around my hips and covered with fake leather, so it was strong enough to support the fiberglass hip guards.
The chest armor piece was also a fiberglass shell, front and back. On the next pic, you can see the shoulder joint.
All the hard pieces were made of fiberglass.
After my Mortal Kombat Frost mask, this costume was my first real experience with fiberglass and automotive paint. It took the same time to build this than it took to build my fiberglass robot in 2015. It was truly a learning experience! lol I finally unveiled pics of Candy in 2012, but I couldn’t wear this costume for Gen Con that year. It was too uncomfortable. I had to build another Soda Pop Miniatures costume later that year. Candy cosplay print available on my store: www.store.mcbourbonnais.com
Celebrating my 10-year career! ‘Skimpy Love’ they wrote… when I was published in the FHM Philippines magazine on February 2012!
These pictures were taken in New York City during the weekend of NYCC 2011 while photographer Jay Tablante was there for the event. I had also shot my Disco Dazzler and Ms. Marvel costumes with him. Prints available on www.store.mcbourbonnais.com
Merry Christmas to you all! Or should I say ‘Marry Christmas’? Thanks to the artist Sex Fire who came up with this slingshot version of Santa Girl clothes… That red slingshot remembers me of something… and you? But don’t worry, if it’s too much (or not enough) sexiness for your desperate eyes, I can simply take it off. ;)

Celebrating my 10-year career! Great memories from exactly 6 years ago, December 2011, when I was received as a cosplay guest by a convention for the very first time! It was for Tour Concomics, Mexico, where I unveiled my R Mika latex costume. :) The first pic is the very first teaser I posted of my costume! And here I am on stage, at the convention in Guadalajara, with my friend and translator Lalo. What a memorable moment! And epic costume! lol ;) This costume remains one of the most complicated costumes I made so far.
Celebrating my 10-year career! Great memories from November 2011: when I was published in the American Curves Magazine ‘Underboobs Shots’ special! :D And they used a pic of me to illustrate this hilarious article! You know, men’s magazines and their articles… ;)

Celebrating my 10-year career! Souvenir pics from June 2011: I was on the cover of the French Canadian Québec Érotique Magazine! Quebec’s National Day is on June 24th (la St-Jean-Baptiste) and being published in the June issue of a sexy magazine was the perfect gift to offer to my fans through the province! Fun fact: the tiles and floor you see on the pics and the other background used during this photoshoot were brought from home to the photo studio in Montreal. I painted the bronze color and turquoise lines on each of these tiles. :)

Since I came up with the idea of creating my own Original Character, I collaborated with a lot of great artists from all around the world. One of the very first artists I hired to draw my OC Aimsee was Pop-Lee. He’s the man behind the designs of my 2 Aimsee mousepads, the art of the dakimakura and the cute chibi I used to make some flyers and online advertisement. Pop-Lee is a loyal and important collaborator in the development of my Aimsee project and I appreciate his talent a lot.
After a certain time, I decided to create Keira, another original character, so Aimsee would have a friend… or an enemy! And Pop-Lee made his version of Keira and Aimsee fighting! Take the time to look at all the details in the background. This piece, with its deep colors, is simply incredible.
This artwork is available as a print on my online store, as well as the mousepads and dakimakura. The perfect sexy Christmas gifts for a friend… or for yourself! ;) www.store.mcbourbonnais.com

Celebrating my 10-year career! Another great memory, bringing you back to October 2011: attending NYCC with my friend Riddle and doing a photoshoot with photographer Jay Tablante for the magazine FHM Philippines. THAT was unexpected… and awesome! My Ms Marvel costume is an example of a latex costume I was able to make all by myself thanks to the teaching from Polymorphe. (See my Sue Storm post from a few days ago to discover how I learned how to work with latex.) My Disco Dazzler was incredible, with the roller skates covered in small mirror pieces… I wore it only once. Maybe I should wear it again eventually.
Celebrating my 10-year career! Here’s a great memory from 2011: attending Dragon Con with my friend Riki and promoting the 2012 Cosplay for a Cause Calendar.
After the tsunami in Japan in 2011, my friend Riki wanted to organise something to help raising funds for Japan. She came up with the idea of doing a cosplay calendar featuring various cosplayers all dressed up in Japanese anime characters. I made my Yoko cosplay especially for this. We all contributed to sell as many calendars as we could and all the proceeds were given to the Japanese Red Cross Society.
Very little people know this, but it’s during Dragon Con 2011 and NYCC 2011 that they filmed a first pilot for the American TV show Heroes of Cosplay. I was part of the pilot, but as a Canadian Citizen without a working visa for the USA, they didn’t keep me for the final show. I was disappointed, but not surprised. TV opportunities would come later in my life.
