Cosplay

I have been thinking a lot and watching cosplay videos and the television show Heroes of Cosplay and quite frankly I am addicted. Granted, I am not going to be doing any cosplay in the near future, but have been learning a little bit about it. For instance, people just look awesome in those costumes!! Especially the ladies (yes I know, it sounds like a typical guy in which I am, but gotta give those ladies some props!!) In any case, I am really getting into it, the whole concepts of the designs, the individuality, the personalities gone into each costume, it is definately unique.

There is someone in particular, YaYa Han, has become extremely famous within this world and has developed a following of her own. For over 20 years she has done Cosplay, creating and developing individual touches on a variety of characters, bringing to an icon status within the world, and creating her own business. She is by far the leader as far as Cosplay in general and for female Cosplay. She has said that anyone can do cosplay as long as you enjoy it.

Taking up the men is Jesse Lagers, a systems admin for a software company and has a side business of making costumes named Midnight Armor. His main interest is Star Wars, known for creating and showcasing a retro Storm Trooper on Heroes of Cosplay, which presented a unique and interesting take on a storm trooper, one that to me, looked like it came from the late 1800's. He brings a unique taste to cosplay that, at least to me, makes men with beards rock! (for those, which will be practically everyone, know, I have a beard myself.)

Well this ends my little Cosplay blog, hopefully more will come.
