Business Plan Reviews and More by Marc Charles

Good morning all....

Over the next few weeks Im going to post business plan reviews Ive done for entrepeneurs.

Ive been reviewing business plans, ideas and strategies for a long time. I used to do it for  fun, but now I need to charge for the service.

My services are not cheap.

But I offer a bunch of abbreviated services on Fiverr. I have several bestselling gigs.

Anyway, I thought it would nice to post my actual reviews, thoughts, comments and suggestions for making a venture better.

I hope you enjoy them.

Ive also written several books on starting businesses on Amazon.

Feel free to post your comments....

Costuming in 2014 A Year in Review

2014 is coming to an end which means its time for my annual year in review costume breakdown. For new readers of Confessions of a Cosplay Girl, this means I list all of the new and fun characters I brought to life  this year. The list  is pretty long and features my first gender bender character and two characters featuring body paint. My thanks to all of the amazing photographers I have shot with in 2014!

Fan Boys Dont Own Me

Photo by Bodhi Tree Photography

Get ready for a very honest and to-the-point entry. I am very upset. Recently I have been dealing with fan boys who make sure to attend every appearance I make in the area. Now you may say its great that I have people who support me however it appears that some seem to be getting angrier and angrier with me. The reasons vary; I didnt respond to something they wrote on my Public Facebook Page or they ran into me at a show and I did not have the courtesy to post that I would be there. This feeling that they have, that I am obligated to inform them of where I am going and it is my duty to respond to them on my page makes me uneasy.



Like many cosplayers around the world, I like to share the work that my photographers and I do online. I love to attend conventions to have fun with my friends and loved ones as an attendee. Sometimes I am there as a guest or a member of the press. On other occasions, I have been there on behalf of the charity organization I work for. Ive promoted appearances that I make but I do not promote when I am going to have a sign up table for the charity organization. The reason for that is, I must keep "Victoria Cosplay" and the charity work I do separate. The focus of the charity work is to spread our mission and inform local costumers who may be interested in joining our cause. I am not there to promote myself or sell pictures. It is about giving back.

Do I deserve fan boys getting angry with me to my face because I did not promote that I was going to be at a show even after I explained my reasons? No. I shouldnt even have to give a reason. Its my private decision on weither I want to make public where I am going. Am I obligated to respond to comments made on my page which has over 9,000 people on it? No. Its impossible to respond to every one. Yes, I appreciate the people who have supported my work but I was never in this for the "Likes". I costume because it makes me happy. I am not doing it for anyone else. I do it for me. I know there are other women out there who say they do it for the fans. They accept gifts through the mail and take votes on what character you want them to dress up as next. They make it very clear they are doing this for you, the fans. That is not me.

Costuming is a form of self expression for me. It is an outlet for me to express myself creatively. Its amazing that people support me. Its amazing that people like my work. I am by no means brushing my supporters off. I appreciate it beyond words. But dont act like you own me. Dont approach me as if I owe you because you clicked "Like" on my page. Respect the boundaries. Respect my duties to charity. And respect my decisions if I dont want to make pubic what shows I am going to and who I am with.

Please feel free to hit "Unlike" if you wish. Its not the end of the world for me.
