Hello Everyone! My name is Sabra! I am 24 years old and live out in Texas. I have joined this site to further explore my hobbies. In the past, I have ran a Gamestop as an Assistant Store Manager with huge enthusiasm. I love making people smile and having fun living what I used to dream up of as a kid. Gamestop, to me personally, was an escape in which I could still have fun while not being looked at for dressing up as an adult.
While I worked there, I loved to create easy “closet cosplays”. These generally made people smile. One of my fondest memories was when Mario Kart 8 rolled out. I had a lady who became super frustrated that we left her game case empty when she made a game purchase from my store. She came back in a very upset mood and asked me for the manager. I was decked out in red with suspenders, a red Mario hat, and a ridiculous mustache as I told her I was management. Her upset demeanor instantly became full of laughter and I listened to her complaint. I ended up searching for her game disc, apologizing, and sending her off with a free game disc guarantee in case she needed her game replaced from a scratch or from a break later in the year. She was grinning from ear to ear as she left after all the Mario game puns we made together. I saw her on a regular basis after that. We’d often joke about the next crazy idea I had for upcoming releases.
Another one of my favorites was Batman Arkham Knight. Originally I wanted to wear a Harley Quinn outfit, but last minute thought it was not professional of me to wear something so revealing so last minute I had to change my outfit. My boss didn’t mind. Since I looked like someone out of the game “Gotham City Imposters” rather than Harley Quinn, he dressed as a “Gotham City Imposter” Batman, with an ipad utility belt and all. I had a Jack Nicholson inspired face full of makeup and overall we had fun. I was just so happy that someone I highly looked up to wanted to be completely silly with me, rather than serious on a fun midnight release.
Pre-job Sabra always had nicely done cosplays however. I used to put a lot of thought into my cosplays and sew them. Since working at Gamestop full time, I just didn’t have the time. Regretfully I no longer work at Gamestop. I miss planning my next antics in which I’d anticipate making several people smile. I want to go back to making quality cosplays with some tutorials. In the past, I was best known for my Aeris/Aerith from Final Fantasy VII. I am planning on remaking that shortly as well as the staff along with it. I plan on making Samus’ arm cannon, Star Trek TOS dress, other fun props.
