Nothing says Christmas like a cute Santa outfit. So with a little research, my love of Apop and some eggnog, I found some Christmas photos for this special day. Too bad they don’t dress like this year round.

Anyways, Happy Holidays everyone.

The people at Knuttz have compiled an amazing gallery of expert, sexy cosplayers. Christmas came early this year.

The variety of cosplayers is endless, some of which I didn’t know but still impressed me to no end. It makes me believe that 2D girls are real. If you look through, you’ll notice some familiar faces one of which is Kipi, a famous Japanese cosplayer and my favorite. Of course she made the list but the others are a mystery to me. /Emo.

Here’s a few of my faves from the gallery:

This is for all the boys out there. I am a big fan of the Square Enix game, The World Ends With You. While I was thinking of simple cosplay outfits that can be put together in no time, Sanae Hanekom or Mr. H was the first to come to mind. His look is not only simple but its bad ass. Not many cosplay as him unfortunately, but the one person that did pulled it off really well.

So here we go again! I would also recommend this to the ladies as girls are so cute when they cosplay as guys.

Anime or Asian hair is the new hotness! Thanks to the rising popularity of Anime, hairstyles have changed dramatically and are becoming more creative and wild. While the emo look can still maintain its cool, it’s time for something different. There’s different ways to achieve anime hair, but all follow the same basic steps which I’m about to teach you! I do use this tutorial to do my and my boyfriend’s hair and so far it’s worked really well for me.

New York Anime Festival is 8 days away! As such, I’m here to teach you how to make your very own Misa Amane (Death Note) cosplay outfit. The most basic and famous outfit by Misa Amane is her black Goth outfit. It looks complex with all the layers but it’s really quite simple. Even without the big ass blades on her arms, you can still pull of the look easily. All it takes is a little money, some patience and creativity.

Note that this is not fit for boys but I do have something special for you too!

As you know Ningin is always expanding its horizons and this past weekend one of our new, upcoming bloggers was at the Cosplay Day event along side with yours truly.

I wasn’t able make it to the event on time but luckily we had someone else to take more photos for us, Jason Linetsky aka Taraka. He was there way before I got there and was also in the front during the Team US cosplayers interview. He took a lot of great photos of the cosplayers some of which I didn’t as well as Team USA. They’re part of the same album with credit to him of course. Be sure to take a look, they’re awesome!

Him and I will also be at New York Anime Festival in September so be on the look out for us. We’ll possibly be cosplaying. /gasp!

I love cosplayers although I think most of them are crazy for spending so much money on the outfits. I guess it pays in the end though. One of my favorite cosplayers is a Filipino girl named Alodia. She doesn’t look Filipino though mainly because of her pale skin. Every time I look at her I think “why couldn’t my best friend (armybratkat aka Kat Nufable) be this hot?”
