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: ALL HAIL BOWSETTE

Kinpatsu Cosplay

If you've been on the internet the past several weeks since Nintendo's last Direct, strong odds are you've seen the madness (and sexiness) that is Bowsette. The Super Crown take on Bowser has taken the cosplay world by storm and everyone is jumping in on this. Cosplayers ranging from Kinpatsu, Jessica Nigri, Kaybear, Kristen Lanae and a slew of others. I thought it would be best to do an overall look on the outfit as drawn and share the many talented ladies who've cosplayed as the femme fatale. Bowsette's design empowers that dominatrix vibe. A single black leotard with an opening at the chest. This is one spot where cosplayers vary that take, mainly on how much cleavage they wish to show. At the center point, is a blue brooch similar to what's on Princess Peach's design. Spike bracelets cover the arms and wrists, these look to be done with foam or a variety of materials.

The blonde wig is done in a similar style to Peach but there's also a red-head/dark skin variant of Bowsette which Kaybear did a take on as did several other cosplayers. The signature crown has either been done by hand or commissioned by other prop makers for the cosplayers. Coming out of the wig are Bowser's signature horns done in full blown white. The spikes also make a return on necks and sometimes the legs.

In the leg area, it also varies to either spandex or fishnets. Some cosplayers included a tail and many have the others signature piece: the shell. Many cosplayers did a fabulous job in crafting it and some went ham like Jessica Nigri adding in a small car with a full on paint job. The shell gets some action in the poses and looks absolutely amazing. Some cosplayers have taken the longer route in wanting to really give jaw-dropping outfits so I'm all for Bowsette sticking around for as long as it needs. Check out the many other photos I collected for this Showcase!
