Thank You Mangoe

I have a policy when I see something I like while on my travels around the internet looking for the things that I find cool or interesting. I have a really love and eye from great design and great beauty. I made myself a promise on Facebook that I would always try to be supportive to those whose work I admired.

It could be a well written joke, a great post, a fantastic cosplay costume and photography, a great song, a funny cat video or material for the greatest captions people have ever seen. I just want to say nice about people whose work I admire. Many of them are cosplayers because I love the whole hobby. I am always on the search for the perfect combination of model and artist that creates the illusion that this superhero or anime character was standing live in front of me. Mangoe is so Kawaii that she should have been born in Japan instead of Europe. She does some great quality costumes and models them so well.

Sometimes these messages I send to people get ignored but that is okay. Some get liked and on those really special occasions, (like with those I send to my beloved Riddle and Tatiana) I actually get a reply that shows I made it though all the other people trying to get noticed and made a comment that was remembered enough to answer. It's fun to be noticed by someone you are a fan of. Not so much that I will get obsessed with them and go nuts but it's fun to feel like a real person and connect with another human being.

Mangoe is one of my favorite people on Facebook. She is sweet and talented and does such great anime cosplay that she should have been born in Japan. Today I saw this fan sign. Sure she took two seconds to make it, but it's the gesture that I most appreciate. She remembered something nice I said to her at one time..

I know that is sad and a bit pathetic but I have no to little validation in my life. Happy to be noticed and appreciated for saying a kind word one day. That is a lesson to all of you. Kindness is always the best choice to make.

Thank you Mangoe for being an angel. Always a fan.

You mean the one piece ones. I don't find them detailed enough I am thinking of the same ones you are.

Yeah, they don't move and have plastic hair, about 4" / 5" tall (I don't know centimeters!). Just saw them in target and thought of you.

I really go for the detail with the. You need to take pics next time you show up in the toy aisle.
