This was my Mira for Saturday of #nakakon !! I wasn't in it for very long cause that wig is HEAVY. For a closet cosplay I'm really happy with how it turned out. #kansascitycosplay #kpopdemonhunters #kpdhcosplay
This may have been my favorite #nakakon so far! Thank you everyone! Fellow volleyball and konpeito klash teammates on Saturday you're amazing! Got 2 Jonah Scott signed prints, lovely gifts- tiny Teal duck, a punch card & a mochi!
