Last fall, long before I moved to Seattle, my girlfriend, Lauren, and I decided we wanted to go to the Emerald City Comicon in full Cosplay outfits. I was onboard from the get-go. My girlfriend was the first to decide on a character. She called me one day and was very excited to tell me she had decided on Kitty Pride from the X-Men (she is the girl that can walk through walls). I laughed at her and asked why she picked an xmen from the b-list and she had a simple answer: she has red hair. I told her that there was plenty of other way more iconic women from the Marvel Universe with brown hair. But then I started looking and I found out that really isn't. All of the women have jet black, fire red, or bleach blonde hair. And since she didn't want to buy a wig, Kitty was the best choice.So then I picked Kitty's mutant boyfriend, Colossus (the big Russian guy that turns his skin into liquid metal). My first thought was how awesome of a character that is for a Cosplay costume. But then I started to realize just how much work it was going to be. Nonetheless, with ECC this weekend, I am happy to say that Kitty and Colossus will be there and we are very much ready to go.
I encourage you all to go check out the details of the costume making on Lauren's blog: Cosplay Update: Ready for Con
