Cosplay Feature: SpookyMoogs Bikini Sonic!

Photo by Togith Photography It's the day after Christmas, winter has started and I'm ending the year with a bikini cosplay? No wait that sounds about right for me! I came across SpookyMoogs awhile ago when it came to searching for new people to share and her bikini take on the world's fastest hedgehog caught my eye, For starters, I love the wig choice being your standard fare with the long portions on the sides plus the cute little ears on the top. There's one shot you'll see later that really shows off the length of the wig extending out from the back. The ears are super small in their size & length. Best bet is she may have utilized the headband trick for having them stay in place. Then you get to the bikini portion itself which looks to be a mixture of 2 pieces. There's a one piece portion that has some space opening up on both Moogs' front and back sides. Then it looks like the normal chest piece is separate based on how it's layered next to the ...

Cosplay Feature: Ryuu Lavitz's Roxas!


You all know I just HAD to feature this Kingdom Hearts cosplay! Ryuu Lavitz is a local cosplayer based up in Massachusetts who I actually had liked as my page but never got around to diving into her cosplay work until about several weeks ago. This was definitely the outfit which made me want to though! Ryuu's gender bend Roxas was done for NYCC this year (just like my Riku) and it was great to share with her my own photos I had taken and generally geek out over both our cosplays. I really wish I could have at least met up with her. IMAGINE THE PICS WE COULD HAVE TAKEN! This gender-bend Roxas I like for its almost simplicity. That's something you definitely don't hear alongside the series which is known for the complex story and of course crazy character designs.


The outfit consists of long pants with black added in near the top and a tank top/small shirt with the intricate pocket designs that Roxas has on his original shirt. Ryuu's wrist cuffs and belt are of a checkered pattern which also is a call back to Roxas. Alongside her belt is a keychain with a star that symbolizes the fruit Sora shared with Kairi. If anything I assume this references the fact that Roxas is Sora's Nobody. The wig looks awesome and the small beanie hat is a nice touch. I'm a fan of the overall design choices Ryuu made in constructing this cosplay. The keyblade looks to be a bit oversized which is true to how some of them look in the game. Especially when comparing them to the user's overall look. I can tell Ryuu had lots of fun making Roxas and I really hope I get to meet her one day and show her my Riku cosplay in person!! Enjoy these other pictures you guys!



Be sure to check out Ryuu's awesome work on her Facebook Page :D I'm really enjoying her Poison Ivy pictures!
