New website opening!
My name is Danielle Beaulieu, but I've adopted "Baloo" over the years because it's easier to spell and pronounce. I grew up outside of Boston but have since moved to South Florida a few years ago where I currently reside. I've been a cosplayer for over a decade now, I started in my early teens and since then it has completely taken over my life and turned into how I make my living!
I currently cosplay, or what I like to say "cosplay" full time, it's been my job for the past 5 years now. I am all over the place when it comes to cosplay. Whether I am doing intricate huge armor builds, or just throwing on a wig and a bikini and calling it a day. I've won multiple best in show awards for my craftsmanship, and also have had the honor of being a judge in several cosplay competitions across the country!
When I am not cosplaying, I am very introverted. I live with my two dogs and my cat, Arthas who makes appearances in my photos sometimes. For fun I mostly just play World of Warcraft (Zul'jin-Horde) and hang out with my pets. I have been living with severe social anxiety for my entire life which has been a constant struggle. I am so grateful for the community of like-minded nerds that I have found through cosplay with similar struggles as mine. It has had such a positive impact on my life and I truly cannot imagine myself doing anything else. I even recently opened my second business ToeBeanies in 2019!
Thank you for being here, whether you've followed me from my early days as a cringey League of Legends cosplayer, or if you're just discovering me now. Please check out my gallery to see all of my recent projects and consider supporting my work! I love what I do!
