Thor cosplay by Toni Darling LVCE 2013 © Kevin Fung Photography
Hailing from the Empire State, Toni Darling busted into the scene at the Zombie Bikini Contest in downtown Mesa, AZ in January of 2012. Like a goober, she dressed up as a cowgirl zombie and with that she paved a path of her own in the local geek community.
From the California conventions to the Arizona convention scenes, you have most likely caught a glimpse of her in front of the video camera working with various networks like Geek News
Toni Darling as Lady Death
Network, Geekssociated Press and Bleeding Cool’s “The Weekly Bleed”. Toni runs the Cosplay Calendar which has produced national and local editions that have been sold across the country.
She also co-owns a cosplay fitness program called Hero Elements, that combines fitness and nerdiness to promote health and wellness in both the cosplay and geek community. Her most notable cosplays include Thor and Lady Death.
