About Theladyfriend1

Hi, I’m Katie—aka Theladyfriend1! I’m a self-taught cosplayer and content creator who started cosplaying back in 2013 with Harley Quinn from Arkham City. That game was actually what got me into cosplay and character impressions in the first place.

I model and craft all my cosplays myself, learning through YouTube, books, and a whole lot of trial and error. In 2019, I started expanding my cosplay lineup with characters like Honey Senpai and Spider-Gwen, and that’s when I dove into learning SFX makeup too.

By 2022, I officially started building my own costumes with EVA foam, wig styling, painting, thermoplastics, and sewing. It’s been a wild (and hot-glue-filled) ride ever since.

These days, I share my work through cosplay modeling on OnlyFans and in photo prints, plus I create tutorials on YouTube and sell my custom patterns to help other cosplayers bring their characters to life. I’m also an author and have shifted from writing about streaming to creating books focused on the craft of cosplay.

Thanks for visiting my site—have a look around and happy crafting!
