Cosplay Feature: Kam C Cosplay's Cloud Strife!

Photo by Lightrift Photo Today, I have someone that I was planning to share a bit later but I thought why not shake things up a bit. Kam C Cosplay is someone who I found via a duo cosplay/shoot they did with Jess Blaze Cosplay (which I'll share later this month!) awhile back. I'm not entirely sure if both this and the duo cosplay were worn at the same weekend, but in any case it's a whole lot of Final Fantasy that you'll have to put up with for a bit :). Based on the background of one of the photos I have, Kam wore their Cloud Strife cosplay to Holiday Matsuri (HolMat as more widely known) during this past year--least I'm guessing based on the timestamps of the photos themselves. In comparison to Cloud's updated Remake trilogy design, I think this is more in-line with his classic PS1 era look. The base elements of the cosplay look relatively simple & comfy. Though I don't know how they fared in Florida's notorious humidity in December. You have a tur...

Cosplay Showcase: Alexa Heart is so AWESOME



I wanted to show off an awesome friend of mine I've made in the cosplay community for today. Alexa Heart (goes by Heart and Soul Cosplay on FB) is a huge supporter on the LGBT side of cosplay having being a part of it herself. She's slowly becoming a rising cosplayer in the field getting guest invites and being recognized by more well known cosplayers. Alexa is always itching to create something to keep her busy and to expand her portfolio. It always surprises me when she lets me know of what her upcoming plans are, I think she has somewhere around 10 cosplays set for this year which is insane in my eyes. Alexa's cosplays are mainly from video games and comic books, she's even taken up photography to produce some of her own photoshoots. One thing I do know is she has an unconditional love for Samus Aran and has so far done a "Bedtime Samus" at DragonCon as well as her Zero Suit. Yes, her armored Varia suit is in the works!

Other characters she's cosplayed as include Frost from Mortal Kombat, Cheetara from ThunderCats, Christmas Princess Peach and a handful of others. Alexa also is great at making little trinkets such as a Triforce that glows as well as handbags which she hopes to open up soon. When it comes to conventions, Alexa is sometimes working for a booth vendor or in cases like I mentioned above, hold panels explaining issues within the LGBT community. A recent one that comes to mind is her being asked by cosplayer Ivy Doomkitty to sit in and speak on her known panel "So They Say You Shouldn't Cosplay" at this past NYCC!

I truly admire the dedication that Alexa puts in when making her cosplays and I'm definitely looking forward to her completed Samus Aran. She's also been a big help in coming up with advice for my blog, one I hope to implement soon when I have all my interviews cleared up! I've got photos of some of Alexa's cosplays that I've mentioned throughout this showcase so I hope you all enjoy them :)!
