About Brema
I’ve always been a dork and loved Halloween but I didn’t start cosplaying until 2010 when I started to work for Candy Keane at Three Muses. When I first started out in costume design, I worked on theater and film productions like “Kill Bill” and ”Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical” where I was always in the background. It was actually really hard for me to feel comfortable dressing up at first because I am plus size.
One day, Candy sat me down (at a Waffle House no less) and asked me why I insist on being unsexy. The truth is chubby girls are told to cover up and that’s what I did. I never felt truly comfortable in my skin until I modeled the Plus Size Wonder Woman for Three Muses. It was great getting so much positive feedback! I still often feel self conscious when I go out (especially when people ask me to get out of the picture) but I try not to let it stop me. This year I’ve been to All-Con, Swampcon, and Spooky Empire’s Mayhem. Next on the list is Florida Supercon and of course Dragon*Con!
My favorite cosplay is actually the Black Panther costumes I made for my friend Verne and his family. I made them Black Panther, Wakabi, 2 Dogs of War, White Wolf, Female Black Panther and Storm. The masks were made by 4th wall Design and the Bodysuit by Flex Design. It was a lot of work but when I saw them all dressed it was an amazing feeling! I’m joining them as Ohyaku at Dragon Con. I can not wait!
My most challenging cosplay would probably be C3PO. I love Star Wars and I wanted a costume that would make sense with Candy’s Chewbacca cosplay. I had done Han Solo before but I wanted to do something more challenging so I went with the guy completely covered in metal. That costume took forever trying to figure out how to make it and then constructing everything. I ended up using a bunch of gold styrene scraps for the corset and spending 4 hours gluing the wires down for the middle. A huge pain in the butt but a lot of fun.

I'm not real big on begging, but keeping this running and trying to get better costs money. If you like what we do or if you are just feeling altruistic - toss us a buck? Every little bit helps and you'd get a great big thank you from us! And we may even dedicate something silly to you for your support!
