I’m Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas: a writer, makeup artist, cosplayer, and digital content creator based in Florida! I first created this blog to document my adventures in the world of cosplay and pop culture conventions, and eventually, it led to my current career as a creative professional. In addition to my blog, some of my writing has been featured in other publications including:
Buzzfeed News (RIP)
And I have an article about diversity and inclusion in video games coming out in Volume 5 of Lost In Cult’s [lock-on] quarterly journal.
While I still enjoy cosplaying and going to conventions as both an attendee and a vendor with my Digital Dollie brand, my creative endeavors have expanded to include editorial and SFX makeup, pop culture criticism/commentary, and freelance creative consulting. I currently work as a social media and marketing director for a mental health and wellness startup.
