Laughing Rat

Laughing Rat is a Milwaukee area cosplayer known for her extensive knowledge of seam treatments, unhealthy fascination with interfacings, meticulous attention to clean finishing, and flair for dramatic stage walks. She enjoys creating original designs influenced by historical fashion as a way of connecting with the past through the materials of the present. Rat holds multiple Best Master and Best In Show awards, but finds the real reward of cosplay is researching, learning, and sharing knowledge.

When she isn’t trying to bend fabric to her will, she can usually be found reading with a rat or two asleep in her lap, knitting with a rat or two asleep in her lap, playing video games with a rat or two asleep in her lap, or doing yoga, preferably without any rats in the vicinity.
