Flophouse.com is LIVE.

Yesterday my brother texted me THIS and I got pretty excited.

Many of you may have seen Flophouse at comic coventions with their awesome tees and pancake pillows, but their website wasn't available. Alas the day has come! Check out http://flophouse.com.

I love their whole mission and how they try to take you back to those special childhood moments we all miss and wish we could revisit.

- THE WHY? -

When we set out on this journey to start our new little company, many thoughts raced through my mind as to why we wanted to do this. Do what you love and the money will follow!…….Do more of what makes you happy!……..Do what your heart tells you to do!……Just do it!……….Relax don’t do it!?………….I was so confused!!!&@^#%

In the end I figured, let’s just make stuff we love and figure out the rest later. Worst case, we got plenty of nifty shirts we can wear ourselves and pancake pillows we can give out to friends and family as Christmas presents over the next 100 years or so.

We try to create more of a “feeling” than just another t-shirt or plush item – we want to stir childhood memories and fun times. Enjoy life here and now, and try not to take things so seriously – unless of course you spent your life savings on t-shirts and pancake pillows (just kidding). So to answer the question as to the Why? Flophouse, fun stuff we wanted for ourselves! Hope you like it too.

Awesome Cosplay from New York Comic Con 2014: Part 2

Nubia Mejia 1:50:00 PM

New York Comic Con 2014 came and went in the blink of an eye. It's funny because I remember all the times I went to Comic Con it seemed so long because of all the preparation before hand. See, I always cosplay. I usually dress up 3 out of 4 days minimum. All the makeup, hair, props, making sure things aren't going to fall apart on me etc. It takes a lot of work. This isn't Halloween folks, It's New York Freaken Comic Con! A lot of thought goes behind these costumes. These cosplayers are more than just dressed up, they're actors.

The only New York Comic Con I didn't dress up for was my very first one. I was about 17.... after that I was hooked. I remember going down the aisles at 17 (A young and cute little Nubia) looking at all the booths and enjoying the art of creativity left and right thinking WOW, this is awesome. The cosplayers were a plus back in the day. It's was a magical little moment and the vibe back then was just SO COOL. Comic Con wasn't as packed and popular as it is now so it felt even more special. Don't get me wrong, things are still awesome now but a lot has changed in 10 years, A LOT.

Anyway moving on, our awesome friend and photographer Theresa Taylor went behind her lens to show us some of the great costumes people cooked up this year. Enjoy!
