Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplayer Video Interview: Riddle's Messy Wardrobe at RICC 2013

For this week I want to share with you guys the awesome video interview I did last weekend at Rhode Island Comic Con. I was able to interview Riki LeCotey or as she is otherwise known as Riddle's Messy Wardrobe from her fanpage. The interview went pretty much the same way as my previous one back at NYCC where I asked her several questions regarding cosplay and how she uses it. You may remember her from a past blog post where I did a cosplay feature on her Black Cat, or you may recognize her from the SyFy series "Heroes of Cosplay". I've been following her work for some time and always hoped of meeting her so I was as you could imagine very excited.

Riddle is another Atlanta-based cosplayer who's been cosplaying for several years. Along with other cosplayers like Monika and Yaya, she was also a part of the show "Heroes of Cosplay" showcasing her Hellgirl, Rocketeer and Alice cosplays throughout the show's run. She hopes to one day be a part of the prop making business for movies and entertainment (from what I remember from the show, I believe I have it right). I do hope you all enjoy the interview, I'm still getting used to adding to the conversation for each question asked but I'm more than happy with how this came out.

I want to thank Riddle so so much for giving me the opportunity to interview her. She also gave me lots of good advice regarding my next cosplay I'm hoping to start next year for my next convention. I hope I am able to see her again soon! To follow Riddle's work you can check out the following links:
