Recommendations for cleansers?

I used to get super bad acne and took acutane to get rid of most of it but I still feel like there is some left. I’ve never really had a completely clear face and was wondering if maybe my routine is wrong?

I usually wash with a natural exfoliant 1-2x a week in the shower and I use a gentle acne prevention/treatment cream everyday at night. Nothing in the morning, I find washing my face multiple times dries it out a lot especially in winter.

Zipper scrunching help

Hello so I am working on a Spiderman suit and for my first draft one I just added the zipper to zip up the back. I measured it and pinned it before starting for it to cover the whole cut I made but while sewing it started to bunch up a lot and now only covers about 1/2 of the cut. How can I avoid this for my final suit? I don’t mind if the zipper shows since I’ll be hearing a hoodie over the too but the scrunching also affected how the suit fits and I would like it to not do that for next time.

Thank you!

Gumbi—> gainer combo

Hello all!

Any tips on how to get my gumbi-gainer combo to look better? I feel like my hips are always lagging behind which causes my gainer to be more of a one legged backflip than an actually gainer.

I was told this combo is a good in between to learn before trying a td-riaz to gainer so any tips for that would be great too! Thank you!

Advice on posing?

Hi all! Looking for any advice on posing anyone has to offer.

5 9-10 and 164 lb bw in these photos. I’ve struggled a lot with flexing my hamstrings with any back poses as well as having my arms/lats “even” if that makes sense. Upper body is also very tan compared to lower but I could still def continue my cut to see more definition in the legs too.

Thank you!

Looking for advice on how much further to cut?

Hello all. I am thinking of doing the 2027 ANBF Natural HP Connecticut show in June 2027. This gives me 9 months to prepare. This year I did my first bulk—-> cut just to learn the process a bit and start practicing. The first set of picture is from end of April 2026, was about 190lb and a did an inbody scan that said I was about 17-20% bf. The second set of photos was taken July 2026, was about 162 lbs and about 10-12% bf according to an inbody scan.

I was wondering how much further I would to cut to be stage ready, in terms of %bf or length. I could’ve cut further but I just didn’t want to go below 160 bw.

Thank you!

3D printers?

Hi all, I am working on a cosplay and will need to 3D print some parts just with standard PLA. Is there some sort of makerspace that offers 3D printing usage and then just paying for membership/filament?

Thank you!

Nightlife events/destinations for Saturday Aug 8th

Hello all,

Me and some friends of mine(23 M) are going out in nyc midtown area and have never really found a good bar/club to go to for nightlife stuff. We would want good dancing music/white girl stuff/kpop stuff anything fun. Any activities/events where we need to buy tickets are also welcome too such as specific djs playing or like small rave/converts. We are going to get some food around penn station but are willing to travel a ways to get somewhere fun we can party for a few hours. Only issue is that the last train back home for us leaves grand central around 2 so we rlly can’t miss that lol. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Fellow cosplayers??

Hello all!

I bought tickets for NYCC for this October and am super excited to start making my costume. I’m planning on being the Scarlet Spider v1 suit from the PlayStation Spiderman game(s). I have plenty of experience sewing clothes but nothing when it comes to whole body suits, and I also don’t rlly have the space in my apartment right now. I was wondering if anyone knew of any makerspace like places around where people tend to go to craft stuff? I have the tools but just the workspace is what I struggle with, and would also love to meet more people planning big costumes for upcoming conventions to connect with and learn from!

Thanks for any suggestions!
