Hey Everyone! I'm Holly Conrad, aka Commander Holly! You may know me from SyFy's Heroes of Cosplay, which is back with new episodes this Summer. Tune in Tuesdays at 10/9 central to watch me and Jessica make crazy cosplay costumes!
A lot of people ask me how to get started cosplaying. It's one of the most common questions, so I put together my top five steps for getting into the spirit of cosplay and, most importantly, having fun!

Step two: Obsession is your Energy Drink.
Step three: Google-Fu
Step four: Failure is your Senpai
Step five: The Power is Yours!
