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: 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:
