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: PureLight Cosplay's Starfire!


What first attracted me to Purelight Cosplay was the abundance of Starfire cosplays she's made in her time being in this hobby. Since I mainly ship Nightwing with Starfire, it was only natural that I had to feature one of these gorgeous outfits! Which one though? I don't think I've seen her latest outfit cosplayed yet so that eventually won out in the end. This version of the alien princess is based around her look in the current series going on in the New 52. Mainly consisting of a cute top with sleeves included. Incredibly cute booty shorts make up the bottom area with long leggings for her legs and feet. I love the shade of purple that's seen here, definitely suits Starfire so well. I can't remember if Purelight said the coloring of her skin was real of photoshopped in, either way it really makes her look the part! Throughout the cosplay are spots of silver as well!

These silver areas can be seen on her chest and the ends of her sleeves. The shorts have an interesting design to them with the silver part wrapping around towards the center. Green jewels are placed both there and high up on her chest. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the gorgeous long wig she's wearing too! The length seems to go just about to her torso/stomach.

The photos themselves are pretty great. Some have Purelight against a purple background, others show her outside around a fitting scenery. As big of a Starfire fan I am, seeing this cosplay just makes me so happy. Still have it on my cosplay bucket list to do a photoshoot with a Starfire cosplayer while I'm Nightwing! Purelight's love for the character is apparent here and I hope you guys love the other photos as much as I do! <3
