There is a shortage of Personal Protective Equipment available to most healthcare workers in the USA, and an unlikely ally has stepped up to help out those who need PPE's to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Cosplayers from across America have started making cloth masks, and 3-D printed PPE's, to help hospitals and medical […]
With convention season in full swing, it's time to look at ways to up your cosplay game. Makeup has long been used to enhance one's features, but makeup can also enhance your cosplay as well! One of my favorite cosmetic lines — ColorPop — has embraced the newest makeup trend, #softglam! Soft glam embraces the […]
With Birds of Prey out in theaters, it's time to ask the important question: What will you be wearing to celebrate Galentine's Day this week? If you've been watching the previews, you probably noticed the colorful and fun costumes as worn by Harley Quinn. Since her theatrical debut in Suicide Squad, I've been largely impressed […]
With convention season winding down in the US, I ventured up to Essington, PA, for one more show, Amazicon. This year's guests included Ann Robinson from War of the Worlds, Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, and Phil Paley of Land of the Lost, and more. For the seventh year in a row, this intimate convention appealed […]
As comic book fans, we've all seen this kind of thing coming, from a long ways off. The tendency for life to imitate art, for science fiction to drive real innovation, and the desire on everyone's part to emulate their heroes from time to time was always going to converge in a place like this. […]
Update Jan 14th: Added information about Toyotome's bail amount and his arrest sheet. What started as a smooth weekend for Anime Los Angeles (ALA) at the Ontario Convention Center turned dangerous as an individual set fire to a car in the parking lot of the adjacent Azure Hotel & Suites. The fire spread and destroyed several […]
Happening right now at the Los Angeles Convention Center- Anime Los Angeles, aka ALA. Here is an ongoing gallery (that we'll be updating as our guest photographer updates) from Ellen Towne, who was kind enough to get us run her expanding gallery of cosplay from the event:
Oh goodie, yet-another-gift guide filling your feed- BUT WAIT this one has fandom fashions and geek chic suggestions! There is no shortage of companies specializing in nerdy novelty designs (in fact, that too is a company that does oven mitts, pot holders, and aprons using the best fabrics), but maybe you need a lil reminder […]
We've looked over a couple different products from Volante Design last month, but we saved one of the best for last as we get into winter months. The final item we have for review form the company is this awesome looking Augment J3 jacket in black and purple. But how well does it hold up […]
Blizzard's annual BlizzCon is happening right now at the Anaheim Convention Center, and the cosplay is ON. POINT. Here's a gallery of 30 incredible cosplay photos from our friend photographer DTJAAAAM, aka David Ngo: BlizzCon continues through today, you can check out the schedule here.
Alamo City Comic Con and Laura Lara have apologized for controversy sparked at the convention's annual cosplay contest. Lara's son Travis "MC CyaNide" Lara hosted the contest apparently while wearing blackface (a photo of the costume can be seen here). Lara was cosplaying as Powerline, a character from Disney's The Goofy Movie believed to be based […]
So now that we've reviewed the Talon Bracers from Volante Design, it's time to up the ante a little with some proper gear, starting with the Automata Vest. This this is absolutely amazing at first glance, but how does it handle as far as being a fully functional and stylish piece of clothing? We have it […]
Back at E3, we came across a very cool company in the South Hall that caught our eye, as we saw some amazing clothing from Volante Design. The company makes, as they describe it, superhuman streetwear. This is the kind of gear you could wear at a convention to cosplay, but could also wear around […]
There were many guesses as to what "the costume" of Dragon Con was going to be this year, and almost no one picked Westworld. But obviously, enough fans DID pick Westworld, as this fabulous 'violent delight' of cosplay courtesy of Annette Wamser (of Wamser Photography) will show. Our particular favorite is the Delos cleaning crew with the […]
Fandom comes is all colors, shades, nationalities, sexes, and peoples, especially at Dragon Con, which takes place over Labor Day weekend annually in Atlanta, Georgia. The gathering of the Black Geeks of Dragon Con is one of [literally] hundreds of planned and organized cosplay photoshoots that happen during the convention, and this year it was particularly […]
Nothing like turning a corner during Dragon Con and coming face-to-face with an impressive armored collection of "The Law"- a Judgement of Dredd. We're still workshopping that collective noun too, but, anytime you see a group of Judge Dredd cosplayers all together, it can be intimidating. Scowls and leather are the name of the game […]
Even though Hulu's award-winning series The Handmaid's Tale isn't your typical convention fare, the red cloak and white bonnets were everywhere at Dragon Con this year. We're thinking the collective noun of handmaids is a habit, but we're still work shopping that. This collection of photos comes to us from Kristen Schlicht, who very kindly is […]
History's Vikings continues to be a favorite for group cosplay at Dragon Con over Labor Day weekend in Atlanta Georgia, and 2018 was no different. Since the very first season of the series, there have been large groups who gather in their chainmaille and leather to form shield walls all over the host hotels at the convention. […]
There is an ongoing joke that somehow, FOX series The Orville is an official part of the Star Trek universe. It makes sense really, kind of the same way that Galaxy Quest is often the answer to the question "What's your favorite Star Trek movie?" In this case, a group of Orville crew cosplayers invading the Star Trek-themed party […]
