Cosplay Feature: Rebecca Denise's Elizabeth

Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

For this week's cosplay feature I have another talented lady from the SyFy show "Heroes of Cosplay" with an outfit that was shown in the last episode. Rebecca (Becky in the show) went and created an Elizabeth costume from the highly praised game Bioshock Infinite. In the photos I have down below, the fabric she used was very beautiful and I especially love how the wig looks on her. The corset has darkish blue accent lines throughout and the neck choker is made from lace material. I'm going to take a guess and say that the game was not out yet when she made this cosplay. That being because the brooch Elizabeth wears in the game is not present here. This is completely fine as most cosplayers when they see a newly revealed character, will want to create it well before the actual game is released.

What's also interesting is that for the episode this was shown in, Becky wanted to add a little prop for Elizabeth for the competition she entered it in. So she and her roommate Lance constructed the balcony of flowers shown in one of the first game trailers with the added effect of a pump which shot flowers out of it, just like in the trailer. I found it to be a very interesting idea and am very happy that it worked out for them. Here are some pictures of Becky in the cosplay sans the balcony prop!
