Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: Angelica Dawn's Pin-Up Catwoman!

Today I wanted to (finally) show off another Arizona cosplayer who's also a member of the cosplay group "The XX Girls"! Angelica Dawn found her main love with the Assassin's Creed Franchise and still holds today having recently done another outfit for San Diego Comic Con from the franchise representing the upcoming entry AC: Unity! She also happens to be a huge comic book geek having an actual job working at a comic book shop which has to be a very fun and entertaining job (most of the time I hope). With that being said I got one of her comic book outfits being a pin up version of Catwoman from the Batman universe!

Multiple parts of this cosplay contribute to the pin-up look here. For starters, there are the black lacy stockings along with black gloves and her cowl/cap. The main bodysuit strongly gives off that corset like vibe which was definitely worn to capture that style. In all of Angelica's poses, the cap is loose on her head with goggles wrapped around it. Then of course she's acting very playful with the ball of yarn she used in some of the shots and it's both adorable and sexy which I imagine is what Angelica was going for. The heels are also a nice touch! The leggings she wears in one shot look to be leather or spandex as are her arm sleeves. They're then taken off in the remainder of the shots showing lots of skin which as I mentioned before, adds in the sexiness of Catwoman. I feel like Angelica had a lot of fun with the shoot as well as wearing this cosplay! I hope I get to meet her one day since so far I've managed to meet half of the XX Girls ^^. Enjoy the pictures guys!
