Cosplay Monday: The Sexy Lamp

Posted on by

Welcome to another edition of Cosplay Monday where we try to brighten the start of your work week with some of the neat costumes we’ve seen around the internet lately.  We’ve mentioned comic writer Kelly Sue DeConnick’s ‘Sexy Lamp Test‘ in the past which, in her own words is “If you can replace your female character with a sexy lamp and the story still basically works, maybe you need another draft.”  Well, check out this cosplayer who embraced the concept tongue-in-cheek at San Diego Comic Con last weekend.

Welcome back to another edition of Cosplay Monday where we try and brighten the start of your work week with some of the awesome costumes we’ve seen around the internet.  This week, we’re keeping with the Hawkeye theme and spotlighting a mashup costume.  When The Avengers and Brave came out the same year and both featured archers, it was only a matter of time before someone (aka BriannaCherryGarcia) did an artistic mashup.  Check out how LisaMarieCosplay brought the costume to life and how awesome she looks!

Welcome back to another edition of Cosplay Monday where we find some cool looking costumes and share them with you to help brighten the start of your week.  This week, we’re turning to a costume from a little comic book that’s popular around here called Hawkeye.  Occasionally, when you’re a superhero, you end up having to fight in… shall we say less than your usual costume?  Actually, if you read the comic, you already know what’s coming behind the cut but you don’t, allow us to offer you this reference.  We salute you, Ryan, for your dedication to the Hawkguy lifestyle.

Cosplay Monday: Historically Accurate Snow White

Posted on by

Welcome back to another edition of Cosplay Monday where we strive to brighten your Monday morning with one of the cool costumes floating around the interweb.  This week, we’re veering away from Star Wars and highlighting a Disney costume.  Awhile ago, Shoomlah over on DeviantArt began researching and drawing the Disney Princesses in historically accurate costumes. (Or at least as close to historically accurate as can be managed with some of them.)  The project turned out to be incredibly popular and now tsu-yaa over on tumblr has brought her Snow White design to life.  The amount of attention paid to detail on this gorgeous dress is incredibly and she looks stunning!  You can check out her tumblr for most pictures.
