Cosplay Feature: Jessica Nigri's Lady Deadpool
Besides cool things I find on the Internet like the hoodies last week, I figured I would feature some cosplayers by focusing on a personal favorite outfit of mine or just ones that catch my interest. So I thought who better than to kick this off than one of my absolute favorite cosplayers :). Enjoy guys!
Well-known Arizona cosplayer Jessica Nigri is recognized for
many things. On top of her amazingly good looks and down to earth personality
she’s also known for being the Pikachu Girl and as the spokes model for
Lollipop Chainsaw. Jessica has a lot of cosplays under her belt, varying from
all sorts of nerd media in gaming, comic books, and anime. Well now you can
probably add that she likes Chimichangas to the list. Why do you ask? Jessica’s
most recent cosplay is a female version of everyone’s favorite
Merc-with-a-Mouth Slad---errr Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool).
So
obviously there have been female versions of Deadpool done in the past of
course, they’re even recognized in the comics (which I don’t know a lot about
since I’m a DC guy), what makes Jessica’s so special? Well besides the fact
that she looks amazing in the suit, she also added her own little personal
touches to the weapons, giving them a Deadpool flavor. These include the guns
being painted with Deadpool’s symbol and words like “bang” along the nose of
the rifle. The symbol is also painted on the grenades she has packing with the
outfit as well. There’s also a pouch she labeled as a container for “Go-Go
Juice”, not sure I want to know what “Go-Go Juice” is but it makes me laugh!
From the
looks of the pictures she posted on Twitter detailing her progress, I can tell
you that not only did she have a blast making this, but she also has a love for
the mutant (as she does with all her cosplays). There have also been pictures
posted of the photo shoot she did in the outfit and staying true to the
character these are hilarious. From her spray-painting on a brick wall to her
with guns out along with a pack of dynamite in her mouth (I apologize if that
sounded wrong). Don’t believe me? Well the pictures are down below for your
viewing pleasure!
I can
only imagine what kind of stuff Jessica will get into when she wears this at
conventions and if more photo shoots are involved, just what in the world will
she be doing in them. All I can say is that Jess wears the outfit proud and if
Deadpool were real he would love it too…although he may express it in a more
vulgar/outrageous way.
