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

STRUCK FIRST: Yaya Han as Springtime Bunny Camilla!


Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.

Any version of Camilla from Fire Emblem that Yaya does is pretty much an instant share from me cause I absolutely love how she portrays the Princess. This time around for the best big sister, Yaya has her Springtime bunny outfit seen in the mobile game, Fire Emblem Heroes. As the name pretty much implies, Yaya is all about the bunny aesthetic here from the ears to the corset. There's certainly some strong "classic Playboy bunny" vibes for the cosplay as a whole. From the top, Yaya has a headband in full white with some small color dots sprinkled in before getting to the large ears poking out. These ears have the pink inside section done perfectly and overall, fur was used in its material. The wig's shade is a beautiful light purple and I have to wonder if this is the same one used in Yaya's OG Camilla cosplay she made a few years back! For the gloves, you got full black covering with some golden accents and a small opening in the arm area. The hole itself is a triangle shape!

The wig is parted so that one section is covering her eye Jessica Rabbit style. Then both ends travel down to about the black bra you'l see in the main body piece. The wig then gets more curly as you get closer to the bottom. Right after the bra, you have the corset like piece done in purple with some golden trim and design along the edges. This turns into a tailcoat which you can see in some shots that show off what's behind Yaya in the outfit. The inner workings of this piece are of a very light green which I believe symbolizes the axe attribute that Camilla falls under in the game. White frills can be seen on Yaya's shoulders and after the purple coat. 

Underneath, it looks like a black corset base and black pants. See through stockings cover the legs all the way down to some awesome purple heels. Straps can be seen wrapped around near the bottom here too! And of course there's the cute fuzzy ball sticking out the back with this being a bunny outfit after all. What really amazes me is the backdrop that Yaya had set up for Camilla. Spring like colors of purple to match the characters color scheme and a whole lot of flowers in various shades. For props, she has a basket filled with several eggs as well as a large golden one too! Yaya as always poses with such elegance and has such a bright smile that lights up each shot. Some of which were taken outdoors! Check out the pics down below!
