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: Harajuku Bunny's Psylocke!


Cosplayers that share their progress with everyone is always a delight to see. Even if most of the time, difficulties were encountered along the way. Such is the case with my friend Harajuku Bunny and her Psylocke cosplay. Specifically, this version of the mutant is based around the Kotobukiya statue treatment she got. For Kelsey, most of the difficulty was found within the purple/blue suit. The cosplay consists of a single leotard piece and coverings for her arms and feet. The feet specifically are just boots, and straps are seen on all parts throughout the cosplay. Kelsey also has a red sash wrapped around her waist with the infamous "X" icon in the middle. I also really love how the wig looks on her, the shade of purple is just beautiful and compliments the rest of the outfit.

The material of the cosplay looks to be of some kind of stretch vinyl/spandex. Kelsey was super passionate about the project in wanting to really capture Psylocke's persona. So despite the struggles in sewing, I absolutely love how this came out. Some of the shots show her wielding a katana which is the character's signature weapon. Some effects to portray the psychic portion are shown in some of the picture. Not to mention Kelsey does an excellent job posing.

Showing off the character's strength, seductive side as well which seems fitting for the femme fatale character. With the recent new X-Men movie, I can only see Psylocke gain popularity with cosplayers. The other photos I have for you guys to share are pretty awesome and I hope you enjoy them!
