Turning Japanese (Cover) by Kirsten Dunst (NSFW)

Yeah, believe it or not, Kirsten Dunst is apparently now going after a singing career or something because she's got a music video up featuring her in anime cosplay running around Japan singing "Turning Japanese". Honestly she's not that bad at singing but I prefer still the original version.

This video is friggn' weird as hell though and you have to see it. Note: some of the images in the video are NSFW.

Little Moogle Costume - HOW ADORABLE!!!!!

There isn't enough words to describe how darn cute this kid is in this moogle costume.  Created by Vampira_666 and posted on Craftster, this sweet little moogle costume was a Halloween idea she came up with last year for daughter's first year out trick or treating. (No candy though - she was only 7 months at the time).

I can't wait to see what she makes for her daughter this year.

My Top Non-Videogame Cosplayers from the Fan Expo Masquerade

There were a few entries at the Masquerade that caught my attention that weren't videogame themed but I just had to post about them. The first was a original idea, Doctor Holocaust which is a villain determined to destroy Toronto.


The second was a group dressed up as various characters from Repo: the Genetic Opera who even acted out a bit from the movie.



And the last group did a really cool steam punk version of the X-Men featuring the characters, Cyclops, Jean-Grey, Wolverine, Shadow Cat, Storm, Rogue and Beast. This team apparently won best in show for the Masters division.

To see the full skits from the Masquerade, check out this post with the videos.

Fan Expo 2009: Videogame Cosplay - Part 1

Of course, what trip to a fan convention would be complete if we didn't take pictures of the cos-players. This is just a small part of the great costumes we found as Mike took over 600 pictures over the course of the day. I'll try to post all the videogame costumes we found as well as a few of my favorite non-videogame outfits over the course of the week.

Above: Nintendo Controller.

Custom design: Ash from Pokemon with Ash from Army of Darkness - Poor Mutilated Pikachu

Phantom Knight from Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

World of Warcraft - Tauren - Danced to "Do You Want to Date my Avatar? by the Guild"

Cortana from Halo Series

Link, Midna and Twilight King from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Two Master Chiefs from Halo Series - Cortana was just off to the side. Great threesome, no?

Cortana from Halo Series - She looks different than her hologram depicted her. *cough*

Master Chief from Halo Series - This must be what the Chief would look like in his retirement.

Stay tuned for more pictures from the Fan Expo floor and the Masquerade. Thanks to Mike from Attack This for taking and editing all these pictures for us.

Comic Con 2009: Videogame Cos-play Highlights

Now that Comic Con 2009 has come and gone, the massive galleries of Cos-players are popping up all over the internet. I've been sorting through the weird and wonderful piles of picture to bring you my favorite videogame costume from the event.

I sometimes think I miss out on the how cosplay side of conventions, but I feel it might be too weird or unprofessional to hit the convention floor in a costume if I'm going to be going as a member of the media. Anyone have a view on that?

If I did go in a costume to the Fan Expo in August, I already know what costume I would go in. I love this little female Ghostbuster's outfit and would probably wear this.

There were alot of cool costumes at the Comic Con this year from sexy little numbers to unique ideas like The Sims diamonds. I love how creative people get with their ideas and wish more people would come in costume to our Fan Expo.

Amazing how sexy pikachu can be when you add boobs.

Max was there but so was Sam. Sam just chose to bring his own Max - the non-speaking, stuffed kind.

There were tons more great costumes but my blog is only so big, so head over to Maximum PC to check out their gallery of 600 pictures for the full coverage of Comic Con 2009's cos-players.

Mirror's Edge Cosplay

We've shown Mirror's Edge cosplay on this site before, but I think I think this one the best so far, even though the model, Jannica doesn't have short hair like Faith.

This photo shoot was done by the website, Pixelated Geek and turned out really well. I like the inclusion of the white and blue city environments.

Mirror's Edge "Faith" Hotties

I wish these were actual fans that dressed up because they loved the game so much but sadly these lovely ladies are just models from the Mirror's Edge launch event held in Milan, Italy last week.

These Italian models were discovered by the MTV Multiplayer blog on the Getty Images' Database.

I hope to get me a nice Faith cosplay outfit. Pretty easy outfit to replicate and the tattoo is easily done with a bit of magic marker or ink. Love the whole black wig too. Sexy.
