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 Showcase: Jaycee Cosplay's Katsucon 2017 Lineup!

You can always count on waifu Jaycee Cosplay to wear some of my favorite cosplays out of the whole year come Katsucon. Just like in years past I totally wanted to showcase most if not all of the outfits she manages to bring. While I was there I only managed to see one of them unfortunately, that didn't stop me from fangirling at the pictures she posted of each cosplay. Whether it was during the con or a little while after, I can tell Jess had an absolute blast cosplaying as characters who meant so much to her. Case and point, why not start with the lovely yet lewd image you see at the top! Here, Jess is dressed as Sigui from the scantily clad armored anime Queen's Blade! Alongside her waifu Aerilaya Cosplay (who wore Tarnyang which I'm featuring SOON!), they both got some stellar pics both together and by themselves!

If I were to guess based on the outfit alone, Sigui is some sort of holy priestess or attendant. The cosplay consists of a blue base with a veil of sorts on top of a long blonde wig. The base extends down to a white see through skirt which no doubt helps in some of the lewd shots she had taken of this cosplay. Weapon wise, Jess' Sigui is wielding a giant cross shaped staff which is most likely made up of a thick foam based material. It's also expertly painted and shaped out with bevel effects. Silk like red gloves are seen in the shots as is a cross necklace hanging just above her chest. A white neckpiece is seen also which could be attached to the headpiece/veil. Golden heels and white garters can be seen in some of the shots. If I can be somewhat blunt, the shots are sexy as all hell and Jaycee is working it strong in the posing department. The editing on them is also stellar and helps bring the photos to life! The cosplay was created in conjunction by Hi-Wire Costumes and Jess' waifu Aerilaya! The staff was created by GS Props!

Another cosplay Jess wore on Day Zero of Katsucon is an original gijinka design of Mega Ampharos from Pokemon! If you're unaware, Ampharos is one of Jaycee's all time favorite pocket monster. So she decided to create a unique kimono esque look for the electrical critter and had it brought to life by Hi-Wire Costumes (if memory serves). As I mentioned above, the outfit is inspired by Japanese flower girls complete with kimonos and a very colorful umbrella. The patterning on the former piece is complete with varying polygonal shapes in shades of yellow and white. The insides are covered in a much brighter shade and the ends/cuffs are full on black. A wavy white white wig is decorated with a lace like crown and red jewel referencing the red bulbs on Ampharos in the game.

Red jewels are seen alongside the back of the kimono as well. Jaycee is also rocking furry like ears/horns that are black and yellow alternating. Showing off her legs in some of the poses, I recognize which parts of the con the photos were shot in. Wooden sandals makeup the footwear on top of white socks. For wanting to bring her favorite Pokemon to life, Jaycee's vision sure was spot on and she looked like she had an absolute blast wearing it. This was one cosplay I wish I saw at Katsucon ;-;.

The one cosplay I did get to see however was NoFlutter's recreation of Sailor Venus. However she wasn't alone in this cosplay. Jess was part of an Armored Sailor Scouts group with other cosplayers such as Ms. Rae Cosplay and Elena Blueskies! As Venus, Jaycee was covered in white, orange and red which is the staple color scheme for the character. Seriously the cosplay in person looked incredible and I feel that there was a mix of armor work and fabric in its construction. The breastplate/bodice extends downwards to a skirt that's pointed all over. Shin guards are on Jess' legs in addition to the platform heels. The other armor pieces are located on her arms and the small shoulder pieces as well. The latter have an orange fabric looped around her arms too! The bodice/breatsplate has an really gorgeous design which definitely lives up to NoFlutter's standard. Jaycee has a light blonde wig which drapes down to the armor in some shots. A super cute red bow tops it all off!

She also looks ready to kick some major ass with the one handed sword as weaponry. The forest like scenery of Katsucon outside really brings these shots together. Not to mention Jess has a killer smile (not shown here, saw in person <3) in this! All of Jaycee's cosplays from Katsucon showed off her figure wonderfully and I hope I managed to get epic photos for you guys to share! Oh and Sailor Venus has a cape. Enough said right? Venus was done by Dulcinea and the sword once again by GS Props :D.

I'm aware that Jaycee had a Trunks cosplay at Katsucon but I couldn't find many photos of the cosplay itself. That being said though, the selfies she posted of that were badass and amazing! If any of the above got you more interested in Jaycee, then please check out her page! THE WAIFU DOESN'T DISAPPOINT :D
