Not necessarily about the cosplay itself but the video of that series fro the London Film & Comic Con is probably the best one that's been done so far. The song choice is great, and the editing is fantastic. The part where it goes from the Dr. Who angel thing to the Ghostbusters is done really well. Awesome editing.

Wanted to post this. I worked at an elementary school doing IT and library stuff around the time Spider-man 2 came out, and I wanted to build a Doc Ock for the 300 kids who would unquestionably be spidey that year. The foam segments are brilliant, I think Adam Savage made one this way for Patton Oscorp Oswalt.

Maybe I'm missing something where this lady is receiving heaps of undue praise and fame, but what's it to you if someone makes an amateur attempt at cosplay and enjoys what they're doing? If she's not here solely to try to impress you, what's the problem if she's enjoying herself? Way to attack this woman for apparently no reason.

There are some really clever costumes in all of them, the lineup of different era assassin's (some designed better then official ones) and comic-style Batman:TaS characters come to mind.

Relax dude, all I said was I didn't like her costumes. There's no issue of her enjoying herself while cosplaying, but I still think her costumes look bad. No need to get a bug up your rear end about it.

Those are all terrible photos (apart from the Vivaldi from Alice in the Land of Hearts at the bottom which is passable) so on the one hand I'd say it was unfair to judge her costumes from this crappy montage but on the other hand it looks like she selected all those shots and made the montage herself for her Facebook page so I guess she felt they were accurate representations of her efforts so judge away. :v:

Her online name is Alanaleilani if anyone wants to check out more of her stuff.

The top middle one is probably the only one that's out and out badly done, so if I had to wager a guess, I'd just assume that Firstaidkite doesn't like fat chicks.

Is that one on the right supposed to be Navi? If so she could have at least put a little bit of effort in and made sure she was on the correct side of the speech bubble so it actually looks like she's saying it. Rather than someone off camera. I guess the alternative take is she's posing like she's listening, but she's too busy staring into the camera to make that seem natural. :crossarms:

I never said anything about her weight. I just think that those are some badly designed costumes. Except what I'm assuming is an alice in wonderland type thing which is okay but the flame princess outfit just looks awful.



The hairpiece in particular I don't like. This has nothing to do with her body shape or anything.

What is the point of posting one person whose stuff you don't like? It doesn't contribute anything to the conversation that's interesting. There are thousands and thousands of amazing costumes out there in the world that you could find, so why not post something that you think is good instead of giving this lady the unsolicited and unconstructive criticism of "UGH I HATE IT"? Or else go make a PYF least favorite costume thread of something.
