Inarguably the fourth of my costumer blogs

Really. You can count. I've done three so far and here's the fourth! Check out these awesome and talented (also very attractive) female costumers of my acquaintance. Remember to take some time for some links and crap, cause its more rewarding than an Easter egg hunt. Easier too.

*Jessika Phoenix
 Jessika Phoenix's Fan Page 
Jessika is a fairly recent acquaintance. She and I met when I was visiting a friend in LA and I liked her. I later became friends with her on fb (as is usually the case) and found her truly awesome costumes! She's dedicated to the costume and the character and it really shows. She BECOMES Phoenix, or Selene or whomever else she has decided she wants to be. She works hard to keep her body rockin' and makes everything look amazing. Further more, she has access to some great photographers (as you'll see on her fan page) and thereby makes the characters do their own photoshoot. You're not seeing her, you're seeing Black Widow or Selene in a special shoot. It's truly an acting ability that brings that extra bang to the character. Anyway, watch her page for her many awesome costumes and her incredible love of football.

*Kit Quinn
Kit's Youtube 




Kit (Harley in this picture) is rarely seen without her counterpart, Tallest Silver (Ivy in this picture, will be mentioned in another post). The two are indeed a dynamic duo, not stopping with this awesome duet, but moving onto many other fantastic characters. Kit has been a fantastic Wonder Woman, a wonderful Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and a host of other amazing characters. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting the woman in person, but I have heard she's a lovely and sweet person and I hope to confirm that one day. My favorite of her costumes is probably ANY Harley, because she always knocks it out of the park. She clearly has an affinity for the character and I love what she does with it.

*Tally


Ironette's Fan Page 
 (I had never seen this fantastic photo of Tally and was happy to find it on google!!)
Tally is one of the first truly SERIOUS costumer I met. If it weren't for her and her amazing gaggle of ladies stuck in one room for D*con I wouldn't have been introduced to the side of costuming that has made up so much of my life since then. Her attention to detail is impressive and astounding. Her dedication to what makes the costume *real*, regardless of how hot or tight or painful or heavy it may be is what makes her the costumer I love. She truly loves the character and wants to be that character in every way possible. Her dedication to Pepper Potts (reading every comic, watching the movies a billion times and cutting her hair appropriately) is more than I can even comprehend doing for a costume. That she does it is why I think she's amazing. That and her wonderful wit, and giving nature and bangin' body. Rock on you geeky hippie, rock on.

*Riddle
Riddle's Fan Page 

Riddle is one of those costumers I found on the web and stalked for a while before I realized she wasn't some sort of foreign model but a con-going awesome costumer just like many of my friends. Riddle is a hardcore geek and manages to flow back and forth between the "normal" female costumes and the ones that are rarely done and even then... rarely done well. I have to say, right off the bat, my favorite Riddle costume is her Wasp. It's so spot on I'm always aghast when I see a picture. She completely nails this one, and of course this Black Cat as well. Really, there isn't a costume that Riddle has ever done "ok" she's always done an amazing job at every costume I've seen her sport. Character, facial expression, costume details-she gets it all. Riddle, you may not know me, but you impress me.

*Alisa Kiss/Chan
Alisa's Myspace 
(Alisa also has a personal site, which is awesome, but I thought I would keep it at least *slightly* family friendly. Let's at least pretend I care about your sensibilities.)
Of the many many many many many wonderful pictures available of Alisa's many many many many wonderful costumes I decided to choose one of the first I saw her in. One of the things I like about this costume is that Alisa uses her real and gorgeous white-blonde hair to finish this look. This isn't my favorite picture of her, but it'll do. Alisa has rocked any number of spectacular costumes and it would take me a good month to put together a list. She makes almost all of her own stuff and is always up for taking spectacular pictures in them (seeing as she's a self-made model that helps). She's also a very sweet, understanding and fun person. For me, her love of Rocky Horror is what sets her apart from some of the other costumers, and she does the show too! I have to say, though, my favorite is her new Vampirella. Mostly because I've rarely seen a well-done Vampirella that is at once sexy and still not over-the-top cheesy. We all anxiously await her next creation.

Ok, I'm wiped. Thus concludes my fourth installment of sexy female costumers. In sets of five. (Counts again). Yeah, five.
I feel I should add an additional disclaimer that I have not taken any of the pictures thus far posted in my pages. Except of that one of Colleen. I took that. Other than that I have googled every single photo and posted from that page I found it on. I felt this was the fairest way to post pictures without naming photographers. If you're at all offended by it, I'll change 'em. Thanks!
