Cosplay Feature: Laney Feni's Supergirl!

  Photo by Maze Studio The last time I shared cosplayer Laney Feni, it was via her amazing Fem Aquaman cosplay she did a few years ago. Originally for today's piece I wanted to gush over how stellar she looks in her Post-Apocalyptic version of Supergirl but that led me to sharing with you another version that's more of the character's classic look. If you were to dive into her cosplay portfolio, Laney has definitely cosplayed Kara Zor-El numerous times but this version draws heavy inspiration in both the design and feel of the old Zack Snyder take on Superman. Between this classic design and the other variant I mentioned earlier, the only difference really boils down to pants and the cape's use. We'll get to that later of course! For starters, Kara's look here consists of a long sleeved tank top like piece and pants with the midriff being shown. I'm pretty sure that this is Laney's natural hair too which really is perfect for Supergirl!

Cosplay Feature: Yaya Han's Power Girl!

For this week's cosplay feature, I need to show how freaking amazing Yaya Han is at crafting her many cosplays. Today's outfit being her Power Girl from DC Comics. The outfit is actually based off the statue made by Kotobukiya hence why the belt seems a bit low/off. However it's just so awesome to look at and Yaya definitely emanates Power Girl's tough attitude. Everything from the body suit to the cape and gloves were hand made. Taking notes from her website, Yaya constructed this outfit using a golden rope and belt buckle. The cape was hand made and hemmed and the leather gloves/boots were custom dyed and altered. The bodysuit was all done to match for her body and the wig was styled as well.


For Power Girl's famous "boob window" Yaya used and I quote "a Victoria's Secret Bombshell Bra" which is awesome and hilarious. Altogether the outfit looks fantastic and I had the opportunity to see it in person when I met her for the first time last year at Boston Comic Con. She really is an advocate for cosplaying however you see fit and to make sure that it's represented in a positive light. All these things Yaya does definitely shows how aptly her title as an Ambassador for cosplay is used. She's very sweet and encouraging for beginning cosplayers such as myself and it made me smile so much when she loved my Meta Knight cosplay I debuted when I met her. I very much look forward to seeing her again this year and here's hoping I get a chance to interview her.

Also if it seems like lots of cosplay features are of outfits from DC Comics when it's comic cosplays, then that's totally just me being biased XD. I definitely try to include Marvel in the mix though! Enjoy the pictures guys :)
