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: Riki LeCotey's Nami from One Piece!


It's the middle of summer so I thought why not spice things up with well...a summer cosplay! Today I've got the lovely Riki LeCotey (known online as Riddle's Messy Wardrobe) and her Nami cosplay from the hit anime One Piece! This version is unlike the standard low cut top/sometimes bikini and shorts that the character wears in the show. Instead it actually looks a lot more like the main character Monkey D. Luffy. Based from the MUGIWARA figure of Nami, Riki looks to be incredibly comfortable in this cosplay. Jean booty shorts, a small red vest and an orange wig. To top everything off, Riki has the infamous pirate hat that Luffy wears while out to sea.

Despite the outfit being simple, it's the photos and how Riki looks that make me love this cosplay. All the pictures were taken at what looks like to be near a pool. She's also casually laying either across a lounge chair, or giving a playful smile either up close like on the left, or while enjoying a drink as you'll see below. The colors really mesh well together and it definitely gives off that summer vibe. Nami's signature tattoo on her upper arm is also seen in this cosplay.

Riki absolutely nailed this cosplay and the look suits her well. These pictures would make absolutely beautiful prints just saying :D. I hope you guys enjoy the other picture I've got to share! Apologies if this seemed like a short feature today, I just had to talk about this when I saw the photos!
