Cosplay is for Everyone

Things have been pretty busy around here so I keep forgetting to post about these articles.

If you haven't read the Geeks of Color Assemble! post from NYCC at Tor.com, then head over and do that as it's great.  

The article links to Beyond Victoriana: A multicultural perspective on steampunk, Cosplaying While Black, and Islam and Science Fiction.  All of which have some interesting stuff on them.

I've been following Medieval POC for a while and he recently posted these fantastic pictures from witchsistah of a group of fantastically dressed cosplayers.

While scrolling through Cosplaying While Black I encountered this fun tutorial for Sailor Neptune that goes over make-up tips and do it yourself accessories by MilesJaiProductions.  I loved the outer scouts and this costume rocks.  (Note: there is some swearing in the video.)

Fan Expo Canada Cosplay

Since Saturday's so crazy at Fan Expo, I decided to go on Friday this year and see if it was easier to get around.  It was, mostly.  I've got a slideshow of costumes, followed by some nifty lego creations that were on the show floor.  There are a few 'celebrity' cars as well (Kitt from Knight Rider and the Batmobile).  If the slideshow doesn't work (or you don't have/like flash or want to see the pictures larger) here's a link to the album.

[And for those of you who commented on yesterday's reading list post, I will be adding the authors when I get the chance, I've just been busy.]
