Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplayer Video Interview: Jessica Nigri and Monika Lee at NYCC!

As I have mentioned constantly on this blog after New York Comic Con had taken place, I was extremely lucky to be able to video interview both Jessica Nigri and Monika Lee. The interview was taken place on Sunday of the convention just as everyone was wrapping up and leaving. Jess went casual that whole day and Monika had changed out of her Elizabeth cosplay into casual as well. If you notice me moving around a bit that's because the convention staff were rolling up the red carpets so I had to step out of the way. Even so I had managed to get this video for you guys and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

 Just to give you a quick idea as to how this went, I basically interviewed them both at the same time and asked them 7 questions each. Sorry if the beginning sounds awkward, I was figuring out in my head how to re-word the first question. Plus I was kinda nervous hehe ^_^. Hope you enjoy! I also included more pictures for you guys!
