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: Azumii's Popstar Ahri!


If it's not their default skin, many cosplayers tend to go after a specific theme or design when it comes to League of Legends. These themes are often given to a multitude of characters so then you have people wishing stuff like "Oh I hope so and so gets an Arcade skin!". Today, I've got the wonderful Azumii wearing Ahri in the Popstar skin. The idea seems to stem from what if League champions dressed like pop stars from Japan/Korea (from what I'm looking at anyways). The cosplay is very flashy/shiny in terms of colors and layout. Azumii has what looks like a one piece suit designed like two distinct pieces. Mainly a corset and pants. Over it is a slim jacket done in the same color as the pants. The collar up near her shoulders look to be down and on her left side of the jacket is a gold heart shaped pin. There's also gold on the right side of the collar. A small conductor-like hat is seen at the top too!

Color wise, silver and gold with black make up the whole ensemble. There's also the yellow wig and orange like ears that are attached to the top. I wonder if they along with the cap are one piece connected. I feel like I'm forgetting a major part of the cosplay though let's see *looks at photos*, ohhhhh right the multitude of pink tails yea? Coming out the back of the cosplay are Ahri's signature nine tails only this time they're colored pink instead of the original white.  I imagine pink is either part of the theme's color scheme or it just works with the other colors so that was chosen.

In the pictures I have for you, the tails themselves look pretty large and fluffy. They look to have been stuffed to the brim individually and were done with a material that allows Azumii to stand up in some shots. I'm curious as to how much the entire thing weighs for her! Small black heels finish off the whole cosplay. The photos show Azumii near trees and around nature which is a huge contrast given the popstar outfit. Some shots work wonderfully such as the one showing her near the water. Take a look at them yourselves :)
