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: Rockruff Dress Group! (Team Borf Borf)



The talented trio of Natalie Fuinha Cosplay, League of Larcy and Mink the Satyr wanted to do some kind group together this year. Eventually (I can't remember which lady sparked the idea) they all came to a Pokemon consensus and rocked out the full Rockruff evolution line from Sun/Moon! Done in dress form, each lady picked their preferred doggo in this lineup. Here (from left to right on the top pic) you have Natalie as Lycanroc in Midday form, Mink as Rockruff, and Larcy in the Midnight form. These dresses were probably made with similar material and each have a distinct pattern to them. Plus there are also elements which could be seen as a common thread for all of them. These outfits were debuted at Conneticon this year and soon the three of them came up with group name of Team Borf Borf. I don't entirely know why but I mean hey, cute doggos right?

Starting with Natalie, her Midday Lycanroc includes a hoodie with ears at the top. a light grey makes up the main color base with dark brown and white segmented in a pattern. On the chest is a giant white piece that supposedly represents the Pokemon's hair patch. Natalie's arms include black fingers for the paws and there's also tiny brown triangles up near the collar. It's not fully seen but I believe there's also a tail in the back. She's is also rocking a gorgeous white wig under the hood.

Mink's Rockruff is more of a light brown shade throughout with a brown trim on the hood and bottom. This you'll see is constant through all the girls. The bottom trim for each one is dark brown. Along Mink's waist has a dark grey pattern with brown dots which resemble the rocks around Rockruff's neck. Her hood also has ears with a much more pink inside. The sleeves are without coverings much like the other girls. She also has lines drawn over her nose!


Lastly you have Larcy being mainly dark red with a white chest section representing the fur patch! The black trim is mainly in a triangle form and her sleeves have big coverings representing paws much like Natalie's. Black is a focus and takes the place of the brown like the other girls have. Brown triangles are protruding from Larcy's chest and spikes can be seen coming out of the back of her dress. I feel her hood is slightly more larger in size which is fitting for Lycanroc's Dusk form. The paws are also exaggerated in size which fits the Pokemon's look (as a Midnight Lycanroc owner I can attest to this!). A white wig makes up the last piece for Larcy's dress. Each girl can be seen rocking a keychain of their respective doggo for easy identification!
