About brooquecreative
If you love fantasy, horror, millennial nostalgia, or things that are…just plain weird then you’ve made it to the right place.
I’m Brooke, a long-time lover of dress up and all things spooky. I’m a professional cosplayer, content creator, and makeup artist based in Los Angeles, CA.
I cut my cosplay teeth (unwittingly) in high school, when I pulled an all-nighter sewing a cloak and dressed as Jedi Leia for “Nerd Day.” I spent all day explaining to the kids in my class that Leia could absolutely be a Jedi, but ultimately felt that no one “got it.” Oh sweet, summer child. Little did I know that a few years later I’d find my people at Dragon Con.
As a fresh dragonling my love for costumes and niche nerdery was reignited, and I soon debuted my cosplay (wittingly) as the goddess Persephone—a simple thrifted dress and a flower crown.
How far I’ve come! It’s been 10 years of creating, figuring it out, and forcing myself to re-learn how to sew. Whew! Now I can proudly say that I’ve cosplayed across the country, won & judged contests, and met so many friends who also just can’t stop making things.
Below are blog posts about some of my biggest projects. You can follow my journeys and silly skits on my instagram @brooquecreative, or check out long-form tutorial videos on youtube @brooque (linked top right).
