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: LaydiexSkull's King Dedede


One cosplayer that's been a delight to follow on Twitter is LaydiexSkull. Out of nowhere (least to my knowledge) she dropped finished photos of King Dedede in celebration of Smash Bros being recently launched earlier last month. While the amount of pics posted is small, they each give a marvelous look at the cosplay as a whole. Given that Dedede is one of my heavy mains in the game, I totally wanted to jump in and do a write up on this for you guys <3. As a whole, Laydie is rocking a one piece like dress that's almost like a white/tan combination. However, the colors soon pop in with the belt and trim along her chest. These of course being blue, red and yellow, with gold being the trim line.

The iconic coat is seen in full force with the gorgeous shade of red and wool like trim for the opening and cuffs. Laydie is also rocking yellow gloves and a solid blue wig. She's really being spot on as the greedy king you guys :D. The cap is just adorable with its golden trim and emblem on the center. Plus the pom pom at the top is seen in some of the shots. Laydie of course wasn't satisfied and she totally wanted to bring the hammer down. Both realistically and mentally as in she has the GIANT HAMMER WITH HER AS A PROP!

Given the way she holds the mallet, I'm willing to bet that foam had some part in its construction. Laydie did mention that some of the process was recorded and posted on her Instagram so I'll put a link to that in addition to her Twitter at the end :). The mallet's body and handle is done in brown with the former having that wooden texture added in. The ends of the mallet have that silver metal like trim with a bright red and yellow star design after that. She's got the cutest smile in the pics and I'm massively in love with the cosplay as a whole. GO LOOK GUYS!
