FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Black Bat & The Spoiler, cosplayed by Betty Felon & Ali Kay
[Boston Comic Con 2012]

At Boston Comic Con, the wonderful Nate Buchman pulled us aside from the sweltering exhibit hall to do a photoshoot in the more secluded areas of the convention center. AK and I have been wanting to cosplay Cass and Steph for a while now, and I’m still in awe that we were able to pull these costumes together before AK moved across the country. We had a great time bringing our favorite BFFs of the former DCU to life, running around the convention with our capes catching the wind.

We plan on bringing Black Bat & The Spoiler to SDCC (after a few upgrades to our costumes), so look out for us in San Diego this Summer!

Note: A super big thank you to Alex & Juli of Twin Bee, for helping us out with Black Bat’s suit and The Spoiler’s hood ♡ Aside from the boots, the rest of the costume pieces were created by me & AK.

In regards to my most frequently asked question.

Until DC Comics takes a hint, please refer to my lingerie tag [located in my Style Index, which conveniently sorts my posts by comic, character, and apparel] for comic-related unmentionables :)

ComicsAlliance Demos Converse’s Customizable DC Comics Sneakers [link]

As the latest installment in the DC Comics x Converse collection, Converse launched today its Design Your Own DC Comics Chuck Taylor All Star shoes campaign, featuring mix-and-match custom shoe design options that include Batman, The Joker, Catwoman, and The Riddler. This exclusive feature allows the customer to design their own shoe by offering a selection of customizable parameters, including the color/print of the canvas, emblems, rubber soles, lining, and even a personalized heel strip.

Converse offered me the opportunity to demo the entire Design Your Own DC Comics Chuck Taylor All Stars process early, and I tweaked every single design parameter to utter purrfection. Check out my review of the product and process and the un-boxing photos of my combative kicks on ComicsAlliance!

Boston Comic Con was so much fun - we had a blast hanging out with friends, meeting some of our favorite artists, and running around in capes. I already can’t wait for next year’s show!

I’ll post a full convention report later this week, but for now, here are some teaser shots of AK & me as Spoiler & Black Bat!

Oh hey, I Batusi’ed my way into the Boston Herald today.

Bonus: My cosplay plans have been revealed as well (though misspelled). I’ll try my best not to trip y’all with my shredded cape~

Check out Boston Herald’s feature on cosplayers going to Boston Comic Con HERE (and be sure to swing by Boston Comic Con this weekend!).

For my local civilians, keep an eye out for the Boston Comic Con 2012 commercial (featuring my crazy comic-devouring eyes). A big thank you to I Hunger Productions and Boston Comic Con for including me in this year’s TV spot!

P.S. Who else going to Boston Comic Con?
