Join Elle and Ashlyn of La Vie Cosplay on this cosplayer comedy podcast in the chaos of fandom, crafting, mental health, competing and the overall crazy that is cosplay con-going life. You won't believe what some people say; or what people think they can attach to their bodies with hot glue. Rated PG-13.

Great
This podcast is still fun and educational after two seasons. The executive producer does a great job.

Hilarious and Sincere!
Such a fun comedy podcast! Elle and Ashlyn bring their expertise in the wonderful and weird world of cosplay and inject it with a great sense of humor. Conventions should be honored to have them as panelists.

just because you can doesn't mean you should
I'm not surprisde to see a bunch of five star reviews but no one commenting because they don't want to hurt your feelings. Its not surprising to me that the one review is a friend, a friend is already desensitized to the way they talk. Begging for positive reviews to balence out your negative ones? I couldn't roll my eyes more. Its incredible how unself aware these two are. If you like listening to two people who have been treated like con royalty a little to long, this podcast is for you. Everything they talk about during this podcast comes from a view point of being self absorbed. They beg for sponsorships and rely on other people's content to get them through an episode. I've listened to everything through their first mini episode and its exhausting. They repeat themselves, tell the same unfunny story over and over and barely give out useful information (sometimes they just blatantly lie to make things more interesting and make it a 'woe is me' senario. Not a cute look.) With how much they drone on about things other than cosplay, I fail to see why this podcast is named 'sh*t cosplayers say.' Yeah, its some sh*t cosplayers say, but its not about cosplay. Its a podcast spawned from a panel spawned from a facebook group that bullied(s) new or 'less tallented cosplayers. I was hoping that they changed and that this would be a fun ride and a feel good, 'let's hear and share stories round the mic' type thing. I was wrong. I don't know who this is for besides their own egos. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Like a convention conversation with friends
I’ve known both of the hosts for a couple of years now and really enjoyed the podcast personally. I’m a cosplay photographer and pretty heavily involved in the convention scene and I still learned a few things through listening to the episodes. Since conventions are still shut down it was very much like the normal convention conversations with your friends, which I really enjoyed and miss. If you miss convention chats with your friends and want something to have going on the side while you work on your latest costume (or editing another gallery of images in my case) give this one a listen. As far as any review that says things aren’t incredibly organized and packed full of useful info...just look at the title. It’s meant to be a back and forth podcast you can put on while working and not a class you have to take notes on. If it was “The Cosplay Business Instructional Power Hour” yeah sure, but come on. (Note - not saying it doesn’t have good info in it because I learned a lot of stuff from listening).

A lot to say but no substance
I wanted to like this podcast since Cosplay is a huge hobby of mine but if you're looking for a useful or funny podcast about cosplay, this is not it. • The amount of useful information is minimal compared to unnecessary tangents or repeated in-jokes. • Information is not organized in a way that would be helpful for those who do not want to listen to every single episode. • It sounds like it was recorded in one go without editing. Was shocked to hear in a later episode that they do edit it. • Something seems wrong with the volume as I have to turn it all the way up to barely hear it. • What they talk about is often drawn out or unnecessarily complicated. There's often easier ways to sum up or explain their point in a few sentences. • While it's nice to hear they're qualified, they regularly brag about their acomplishments in a way that's really off-putting, especially for younger or inexperienced cosplayers. • They regularly say "we'll talk about that later" but as a listener, I'd want to know when they will talk about it. It would be really helpful if they could say what episode they would talk about it. • I wouldn't consider this appropiately categorized since this is listed under Comedy but I didn't find it funny at all. Would probably be bettter in a more hobby-based category.

- Ep63: Keeping Up With The JonesesYou don’t have to be the McGinis, you can just be yourself. Join LVC for a deep dive into peer pressure, status anxiety, consumerism, and more. We’ll also revisit our friend the project management triangle. Let’s examine if you really need that new 3D printing machine, the “it” costume every week, or that fancy new fangled cosplay gadget that was just advertised by your favorite cosplayer in order to have “success” in this hobby. To participate in cosplay do you really need to keep up with these mystery expectations?

- Ep62:Sandbagging Follow-upYou all had questions and we have answers. This is the follow-up to episode 59 Sandbagging where we go more in depth about re-competing in costumes, gatekeeping and high social expectations, why all contests don’t have the same rules, and ultimately why a “high level” competitor might decide to compete at a smaller contest.
