2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

I get my inspiration from just anything I love, movie, tv, comic books, videogames and etc! A little but of both, I love new things every day!

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

Some of my outfits are 100% scratch, some I commision, some i buy some and alter, all depends! My trickiest was sewing my original Harley Quinn, first time using spandex, that was really stressful.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

My favorite cosplay is probably my original Harley because of all the work I put into it, and because its my favorite version of Harley.

1) How did you get into cosplaying?

I got into cosplaying since 2012 when I saw a cosplay video on Youtube.

2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

Nowadays I get my inspiration on videogames like League of Legends, World of Warcraft , Fight Games or cards games, but when I started in this world I was really inspired by anime and manga like Inuyasha, Naruto, Soul Eater or Death Note.

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

Yeah my cosplays are made 100% by me and I love make them so much ! Well all my cosplays have a difficult part but the most difficult was my Windrangers bow or Sonya’s swords because they are so big.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

I can ́t choose only one! I love so much my Liliana Vess, Sonya, Diablo 3 Wizard, Crimson Akali and Sindragosa !

5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?

When I go to a convention I have a lot of experiences, good experiences like people who loves my work and my cosplays , the photoshoots with friends and photographers, meet more cosplayers and more, but go to a convention it ́s hard too! If you wear a big armor or big costume it ‘s probably you are tired early haha.

6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?

Well, I want to go to Impact Weekend (Narón) Jornaicas (Zaragoza), Salón del Manga (Barcelona), Madrid Games Week or Barcelona Games Experience and Salón del Cómic (Zaragoza) but it ́s not sure haha. For the next year I want to visit México !!

An Interview With Cosplayer Lady Halestorm

Hi Readers

It’s time for another cosplay interview this time we meet Lady Halestorm. So far we’ve featured cosplayers from Australia, America and Peurto Rico, now it’s time to meet a British one. Lady Halestorm is a cosplay veteran and we even frequent the same con’s so chances are we’ve ran into each other in the past! Lets find out some more about Lady Halestorm

---

---

1) How did you get into cosplaying?

I always loved to dress up as a kid and even as a teen, I’d convince people to have fancy dress parties just so I had another excuse to get a new costume. I never actually knew cosplaying was a real thing until I discovered Jessica Nigri! Once I found out about cosplaying, I went to my first con and was totally blown away by the talent that some people demonstrated. Before this, I’d buy a costume and wear it as it came, but these people made their costumes by hand and spent months doing so! It was then that I decided to give it a go, and I haven’t stopped since.

2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

I get most of my cosplay ideas from films and TV shows I watch as an adult. I’ll be watching TV and I’ll become obsessed with a character’s outfit to the point where I won’t rest until I have the same one! It’s the same when reading a comic book or playing an xbox game. I’ll see a costume that I love and I’ll spend the next few days planning how I can make it and if it’s a male character, I’ll see how I can gender-bend it. I’m a page model for @itsthenerdylife on Instagram and I sometimes scroll through their page to get inspiration too – the content on there is amazing.

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

Unfortunately, due to me not having a sewing machine that works, I haven’t been able to make any costumes entirely from scratch (it’s something I’m saving up for!). I’ve tried to make a few things by hand stitching them, but they never turn into something I’m happy with. Rather than buying a fancy dress costume from a shop, what I usually do is buy some base materials and put them together and tweak until it’s perfect. I have bought a few cosplay pieces in the past, but it works out cheaper to make them myself. There was one costume I made from scratch which was Scarecrow from the Batman game “Arkham Asylum”. It took me three months to make the mask and glove and is still to this date, the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do because I had to layer the base mask to give it the right expression. I do however, make most of my props from scratch. If I have a limited amount of time to get a cosplay finished then I’ll buy them, but I generally make all my props.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

I’d have to say my Lara Croft: Rise of the Tomb Raider cosplay. It was the first cosplay I actually took on a photo shoot and had loads of fun becoming the character. I hand painted the pistol and spent weeks practicing the make-up – it was my first big project. I got a lot of positive feedback from lots of different cosplayers including SuperMaryFace!

5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?

Every con I’ve been to, I’ve cosplayed as something. There’s no feeling like someone appreciating the hard work you’ve put into a cosplay and wanting to take pictures. It’s such a friendly community at conventions and each year just gets better.

6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?

YES! I will be at LFCC on Saturday 30th July 2016 and London MCM on Saturday 29 th October 2016.

7) If you could cosplay as anyone and budget wasn’t an issue who would it be?

Definitely Amber’s Bunny Mech from Sucker Punch!

8) Do you have any words of advice for up and coming cosplayers?

First and most importantly, do it for you! Cosplay is all about expressing yourself and if you’re doing it just to get compliments or ‘likes’ you will soon lose your passion for it. There are famous cosplayers and yes they make a lot of money for what they do, but don’t aim for that. Do it because you love it, not because you want to be famous. Also, it is important to keep in mind that if you’re just starting out, your cosplays aren’t likely to be the standard of Jessica Nigri, and that’s ok! In the words of Jake the Dog “sucking at something is the first step to becoming sort of good at something”. It is a very expensive and time-consuming hobby. And lastly, HAVE FUN! It’s always satisfying when your cosplay looks super legit and as if it has been pulled out of a game/comic/film but it’s more fun to put your own twists on them. I personally love to think to myself “what would I look like as this character?” and create cosplays based on that. It makes it more personal and lets you express your creativity. Go take the cosplay world by storm!

9) Where can we find you online?

At the moment I’m only on Instagram as @lady_halestorm but I will be setting up a facebook page soon. I’ll announce when this happens so keep an eye out on my Instagram page for updates!

An Interview With Cosplayer Miss Torii

Hi Readers

It’s time for another cosplay interview, this time we meet Miss Torii! What can I say about Miss Torii?  Besides being an amazingly cool person she’s also an awesome cosplayer, so an interview was a no brainer. Let’s find out some more about Miss Torii.

---

---

1) How did you get into cosplaying?

I started cosplaying about 3 years ago. It all started because a local horror convention was happening in my area. I decided to dress up just for fun. I noticed a lot of people dressed up and started talking to them. They asked me what other cons I cosplay at. This was the first time I heard of the word cosplay. The more I talked to other cosplayers, the more cosplay interested me. I didn’t know there was a word for it. Finally others who shared what i loved to do.

2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

My inspirations come from comics (MARVEL/DC) that I read and collect. I also get ideas from Disney movies that I have watched since I was little girl and recent Disney shows that I have watched with my daughter.

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

I think it all depends on the character I’m cosplaying. Most of my cosplays are either from thrift stores or I sew my own. If I buy them from the thrift store, I have to alter them to fit the character. The most difficult part of sewing some of my cosplays is that there is no pattern. I like to do my own rendition of character I like. So just depending on the ncharacter either I will make it from scratch or I have to alter certain clothes to fit the character.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

Gwenpool has to be my favourite and the most fun!

5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?

Amazing!!!!! Seeing everyone dressed up and seeing their cosplays always amazes me. I love being around that atmosphere! Plus meeting others who love what you do is awesome too!

6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?

I just attended Comicpalooza. Any conventions that are in Texas are the ones I attend. I want to attend Alamo City Comic Con, Omnicon, Realms Con. Hopefully you will see me at some of those!

7) If you could cosplay as anyone and budget wasn’t an issue who would it be?

I would make a HULKBUSTER cosplay just to do it!

8) Do you have any words of advice for up and coming cosplayers?

Just have fun! There is no right way to cosplay! Try not to get caught up with negativity in the cosplay community….example cosplay bullying, fat shaming, slut shaming, are just a few. I have been a target for some of these. It happens to a lot of cosplayers and a lot give up because of hateful comments. My advice is to ignore it, have fun, and remember why you wanted to cosplay. Go out there and have fun!

An Interview With Cosplayer Mori Cosplays

Hi Readers!

It’s time for another cosplay interview, this time we meet Mori Cosplays! Although she’s a relative newbie to the internet cosplay scene; she’s not a newbie to the world of cosplay and this shows by the awesome outfit that inspired me to contact her to appear on the site! Luckily for us she said yes so lets find out some more about Mori Cosplays.

---

---

 

1) How did you get into cosplaying?

I first got into cosplaying when I was in middle school. I started dressing up as different characters from animes or games or even comics just for fun, though I never actually called it cosplay. They weren’t my best, but I can say that was a base to where I am now. I don’t have pictures of back then (and I am kind of happy I don’t because they were so basic haha, though I also kinda wish I did so I could see my progress!) My first cosplay was Misty from Pokemon, I think every girl has done a Misty in her life!!

Then I did various other coslpays such as Jill Valentine, and afterwards various more. I stopped for years,but now I’m trying to get back at the scene.

2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

I get inspired from my favorite games at the moment, or if I want to cosplay as a character that’s deep into my memories. Most of the time I mix characters because I don’t really like to be normal, and I like to complicate my life and make myself cry and ask myself why I came up with the idea in the first place when I start making the outfit overall or props. But overall, my inspiration comes from anything that I love personally. I would never dressup as a character that I don’t personally like.

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

My outfits are 80% from scratch. At least I try them to be. Sometimes because of lack of time or laziness, I just buy some pieces off the internet and just fix them when I get the chance. Though the props are 100% from scratch and they are a pain!!.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

My favorite cosplay is Jade from Mortal Kombat. I think I have a very big resemblance with her in many ways, and well, we’re both fierce, so a piece of her is inside of me every single day.

5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?

I’ve been to a lot of cosplay conventions and I could say that the experience is unbelievable! The people coming and complimenting you is one of the most precious thing a cosplayer can feel! It’s like recieving a solid A + for your hard work, and when they ask for pictures it’s freaking awesome, since it boosts your self confidence a ton!

6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?

I am planning to go to Kaisen Puerto Rico on the 30th of July, and Aguadacon in December. I am planning on going to other cons outside Puerto Rico, hopefully soon enough, but I need some pointers in where and when they are going to happen. I will love to go and meet new people and cosplayers around the US and hopefully the world.

7) If you could cosplay as anyone and budget wasn’t an issue who would it be?

Hmm…that’s a tricky question, since you need some money in every cosplay that you do. But if I was going to choose one, it would probably be Jill Valentine (I basically used things I had in my closet back then though the gun would be missing). Misty from Pokemon (a classic and most of the items you could find in your closet!). I think some of the anime school girl outfits are super easy to make or if you have a plaid skirt, you could eventually pull it off!

I am a huge gamer and had played lots of games, but sadly most of the outfits are difficult as hell!!. Ness from earthbound is another great and easy choice to make and wear! Gender blend or not, still great and would look good on anybody!. I remember my friend was going to Puerto Rico Comic Con this year and she decided to cosplay the day before! but she didn’t know what to wear since she had no time, and I just suggested her she should dressup as Ness, since it’s her main in smash and I was convinced she had the things on her closet, which she did!

8) Do you have any words of advice for up and coming cosplayers?

One of the things I tell cosplayers all the time is to have patience!!! It’s the key to everything specially if you are going to make something from scratch and with props! Oh god my sander broke and I ordered one online and I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can continue working on my future projects, and I can only have patience for it, since panicking won’t solve anything. Another tip is to make sure you buy wigs and NOT paint your hair with spray. It’s a no-no! I’ve seen people done it and they ruin a great cosplay! It’s like cosplaying as Kratos (kind of spoiler for one of my future cosplays) and not painting the Deimo’s birthmarks!!

Constantine Is BACK! Could We Be In Line For A Tv Series Return?

Constantine fans rejoice! The show is back, although sadly it’s not back for a second series, with the news that CW have acquired the show and are showing it for FREE (yes free) on CW Seed, this had sparked a frenzy of rumors that the show could be coming back.

Now don’t get me wrong I love El Rey, they are constantly putting shows out there of top quality that may not have got picked up elsewhere, they are also the home of the number one wrestling promotion right now Lucha Underground. That’s why I trusted them 100% or that was until the pulled the plug on Constantine. I don’t understand the reasons for it, but needless to say I went into a Firefly like state of denial before finally coming to terms with the shows demise quite recently.

So why have CW picked up the show? Well they already have an impressive array of shows in Supergirl, Riverdale, Frequency, Beauty And The Beast and oh yeah most importantly Arrow, to name but a few. yes I know I left out Vampire Diaries, The Flash, The Originals, Legends Of Tomorrow and The 100. I feel that this was less about the chance of reviving the show but more about stocking up on it’s DC heavy content.

It makes sense for CW to get the rights to the show after all it owns most if not all of the other DC television adaptations. Plus what’s more within the DC Universe there are frequent crossovers, so when you’re watching Arrow and John Constantine makes an appearance you know he’s the number one badass in exorcism and the demonic black arts.

Could the fact the show has been picked up, mean we could be in for a long awaited and much hoped for second series? Well in reality sadly not, as the cast and crew were released from their contracts once negotiations to try and save the show had failed. Although with the news that the Dark Justice League is set to be animated rather than live action, there may be a tiny sliver of hope.

Constantine, however, did pop up in Arrow’s fourth season when he was brought in by Oli to try and resolve the Sara Lance Lazarus Pit problem. Let’s face it he stole the show in that one episode and CW you would be mad not to pick this series up, then again you didn’t renew The Secret Circle so I’m not holding out any hope.

Just incase you miss our favourite exorcist, here’s the official trailer from the show below

Arrow Fans Rejoice! Diggle Is Returning Without The *Magneto* Helmet!

Arrow fans, rejoice John ‘Diggle’ is returning for Arrow Season 5, not only that but he’ll be returning minus the highly controversial Magneto styled helmet. I for one think Diggle is pure badass, he’s the muscle behind Team Arrow and has anyone ever considered the possibility of David Ramsey as the next James Bond or Jason Bourne? I for one could see it. However for all of Diggles’ toughness and dependability, there was one thing that I could not take seriously, THAT HELMET! Now don’t get me wrong if you’re a badass supervillan aka Magneto you can wear purple and a silly helmet and still strike fear into people because you are a pure combination of awesomeness and evilness, but for Digs, sadly even though he is one tough guy, not even him could pull that look off.

Now don’t get me wrong, if you got a young family and you’re fighting some seriously bad people to save your city on a daily basis, you’ll need some form of protection. But not that, come on DC get original, get some inspriation from somewhere, if you’re gunna take some inspiration, don’t take it from arguably one of the greatest villans from the Marvel Universe of all time. That’s like Marvel ripping off The Penguin *finds The Owl online* oooooooh right!

So what will this new helmet look like? Will it be a Doctor Doom inspired mask? Well all we can say is that we don’t know BUT it will be designed by none other than the lovable sidekick of The Flash, Cisco Ramon aka Vibe. You know that means? ARROW-FLASH crossover YAY!!!

This was confirmed by Ramsey at fan event Heroes & Villains Fan Fest 2016, when answering questions from the crowd he responded by saying ‘Season 5, you will see a Cisco-created new mask for Diggle.’

I for one am psyched about this news for three reasons. 1)Diggle is back 2)The Silly helmet is gone 3)Arrow-Flash crossover.

What do you think? Are you glad that the helmet is gone, Diggle is back and we’re getting another crossover episode? Let us know!

True Blood Is Returning! As A Musical???

Remember True Blood? The show that gave us a chance to see Rogue from X-Men‘s boobies? Was the launchpad for a former Prince Valiant and introduced us to Vinnie from Home and Away on a wider platform. Yes so do I!

The TV adaptation of the books written by Charlaine Harris, ‘The Southern Vampire Mysteries‘ was a huge success and brought vampires, werewolves, fairies, shapeshifters and what not to an audience and introudced us to also one of the niceset men in Hollywood, Alexander Skarsgard.

Sadly as amazing as the first couple of series were, the last couple well quite frankly sucked, the show lacked direction, had crazy plots, killed off one of the best new characters in Jesus (noooooooo).

As much as I loved True Blood in the early days, when I heard the news that it was coming back, I was initially hesitant. Would a reboot or continuation of the show work? My fears were put aside, with the news that the new True Blood project would be a MUSCIAL????

According to the New York Post, True Blood: The Musical is being Pam MacKinnon (Broadway’s China Doll), Nathan Barr, who penned the score for the HBO series, is composing the music and Elizabeth Scott (Living Dead Girl) will be writing the script and lyrics.

Could we see some of the original stars return for the play and what are their singing voices like? Well here’s one of the stars from the show below, singing his heart out enjoy 😉 On second thoughts where’s the stake!

Brock Lesnar Responds To Steroid Allegations

Few people have accomplished as much as Brock Lesnar he’s ‘The Beast Incarnate‘ , ‘The Next Big Thing‘, he’s conquered the squared circle otherwise known as the WWE being a four time WWE Champion and also conquered the octagon winning the UFC Championhip on one occasion.

It’s no surprise that controversy follows Brock around, be it his relationship with Sable, his close relationship with Paul Heyman or breaking the Undertaker’s streak at Wrestlemania.

So it’s no surprise that when Brock was asked about the allegation that he takes steroids that was thrown at him by UFC 200 opponent Mark Hunt, he hand the following to say.

“I’ve been dealing with that my entire life,” Lesnar said on today’s UFC 200 media conference call. “I’m a white boy and I’m jacked. Deal with it. What do you want me to say? I’m a white boy and I’m jacked, deal with it.”

Whereas most other fighters would have a filter applied to their mouth, either by the media or their agents, this is what I love about Brock, his speak first and deal with the consequences later attitude.

Not only that but when asked if his fight and a potential loss at UFC 200 would harm his standing in the WWE he reponded by saying.

“I really don’t give a s–t,” Lesnar said during a media conference call Thursday.

I for one will be watching to see what happens at UFC 200 to see if ‘The Beast Incarnate’ can once again become the king of the octagon.

 

RUMOR MILL: Tajiri To Return To The WWE?

According to reports that are surfacing online The Japanese Buzzsaw aka Tajiri is scheduled to make a permanant return to WWE once his involvement in the Cruiserweight series is over.

With the roster split coming soon, WWE top brass will be looking to pad out thier roster, due to thier currently incredibly thin talent pool to chose from and have been reaching out to past stars who featured for the company in the past.

Tajiri is no stranger to WWE, not only is he a 3 time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, 2 time WWE tag champion, and a former WWF Light Heavyweight Champion he also featured in ECW winning the ECW tag team and television championship as well as the WCW United States Championship.

Even if Tajiri does not make an active return to the ring, he still has a lot to offer as a trainer or road agent. I for one would love to see Tajiri return, to quote Star trek, make it so Mr McMahon!
