The Volunteers & Friends here at ConCoction are pleased to have Mogchelle Cosplay returning to our 2017 convention!  Michelle Mussoni, also known in the Cosplay world as Cospinay or Mogchelle, started in the costume world by just being an average geek attending a Japanese Animation convention in 1999.
Over the years she has won countless awards for both craftsmanship and performance, starting as a novice, and working her way up to the master level of competition as of 2003. In 2010 she had the honor of winning a chance at the Yume Cup at Anime Central, and was shipped off to New York City as the Mid-West representative in a nation-wide cosplay competition along with the very talented Alena VanArendonk from, “ …And Sewing is Half the Battle!” to compete for the national prize of the Yume Cup! In 2012, she reached international award status by competing at the World Science Fiction Convention, where 2 awards were won, Best Re-creation, and a special Golden Quill award for a custom set of angel wings. With her unfailing support of the cosplay community and her fans, as well as community conventions like ours, we are pleased to have her back with us at ConCoction in 2017. Be sure not to miss her panels and workshops throughout the event, and she will once again be one of our fantastic Masquerade judges!  We are happy to announce our first convention guest of ConCoction 2017 - Jim O'Rear.
