Giggle Maker Cosplay (Atlanta, GA)
I am a big proponent of women owning their own power and Dessi Desu’s designs really encapsulate that idea. I loved that she captured the power of Wonder Woman without yielding any femininity; too often I think our culture conceives of strength in terms of strictly masculine aesthetics, but her artwork spoke to the truth…

Kelsey (Atlanta, GA)
Since it’s a local landmark, people from out of town didn’t understand it – they just stared in confusion. But Atlanta locals LOVED IT! I’d hear people scream “OMG, THE BIG CHICKEN!!” and they were just so excited. I got to hear so many stories about peoples connections to the actual Big Chicken, I didn’t…

Nikki Moxxi (Orange County, CA)
I was running out of time to create my Anime Expo cosplays (one week before con!) And I knew I wanted to do something challenging but manageable. I remembered that Monster Musume has a bunch of characters with unique features, so I latched on to Miia as my one week challenge! Bringing it to life…

Kryten (California)
Sure, well the reason I picked the Doctor was pretty much when I was in college a friend of mine introduced me to the TV show Doctor Who. I watched all the new series as well as parts of the new series. When they introduced Peter Capaldi as the new doctor, I saw an amazing…

MelPool (Washington DC)
So last year when I was with my family over Christmas break, I binge watched Young Justice on Netflix. When YJ first came out I was still super busy with school and never got around to watching it, but after I finally binge watched it I was blown away by how deep the story and…

Stephen (UTAH)
I have only kind of dabbled in cosplay. I don’t go to a ton of cons because of money, but I love AX so I try to go every year, primarily for the cosplay. I got started with Assassin’s Creed cause it just looked really cool. The following year I did a Ganondorf cosplay and…

Corey (Anchorage, AK)
I actually decided on cosplaying Bob Ross while I was out looking for a mask for a different cosplay and my mom pointed out how this one afro wig just screamed Bob Ross. That was pretty much all it took for me to change plans and buy the wig instead, the rest came together pretty…

Shasta (Anchorage, AK)
After binge watching Dragon ball super, I was excited to see a new females character introduced in the series, Vados. She was shrewd, humorously sarcastic, and possibly stronger than Goku (well at least at the time.) I knew early on that creating Vados would be challenging, because there weren’t any commercial sewing patterns available that…

Some Thoughts on Costuming
by Carol Resnick I don’t know why other people go into costuming, but to me it is the thrill of visualizing a costume (or a presentation, as in 1979) and then making that visualization a reality. In truth, by the night of the competition, it’s all rather anti-climactic; I know long before then whether or…
