Cosplay Feature: Jess Blaze Cosplay's Lenne!

Shot by Savanyahs Who the HECK is Lenne?!? I always love seeing Jess Blaze Cosplay continue the Final Fantasy rabbit hole she's in with all the cosplays she's done from the franchise. Tackling the mysterious singer from X-2 alongside her friend Kam C Cosplay (as Yuna) felt like a natural next cosplay for her to create. This also wasn't Jess' first foray into the many dress-spheres that the sequel focused on. For the originator of the Songstress job class, there's a whole lot of blue here which you see immediately with the main top piece and arm sleeves. Starting from there, you have essentially a blue vest that has lighter blue frills along the edges. The dress also has differing lengths for each side. One giving off a midriff look whereas the other extends longer past the black skirt.

Cosplay Feature: Destiny Nickelsen's Juliet Starling!

Today I wanted to feature the awesomeness that is Destiny Nickelsen! You've all probably seen her on this blog before in forms of shout-outs and the interview I did with her awhile back. Destiny is arguably one of the sweetest cosplayers I've had the pleasure of getting to know this year! One of her cosplays that I absolutely love is her Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw. Now yes this character has been done often by females due to the popularity of the game and the outfit but what makes Destiny's so special is the fact that hers is one of the alternate outfit known as "All-American Cheerleader" and I think she's also the only cosplayer that I know of who's done that specific outfit which is kinda cool!

While the outfit itself is a basic cheerleader outfit, lots of work went into getting the design right! The skirt I believe utilizes box pleats, high knee socks with the school name on them, wrists bands and the top made up with a patriotic look and little stars on right side. Then there's the big prop being the giant chainsaw! Compared to the way these were made in other versions, Destiny has noted that she wants to one day remake the chainsaw. The blade end is apparently less bulky than it really is (or I could be wrong, kind hard to tell in the pictures) which was probably done to keep it light for her to carry around. The poses Destiny makes in the following photos really capture the spirit that Juliet!

I especially love the lollipop addition that Destiny put in the photos and she looks so adorable and beautiful in the outfit. The wig also looks amazing on her! I technically met Destiny at NYCC 2012 but  it was somewhat brief as she looked a bit tired from taking pictures but sure enough she was wearing this outfit and it looked amazing in person! Of course I was able to talk with her alot more at conventions this year which was so cool! I hope you guys enjoy the other photos I have picked out :)
