Cosplayers get the spotlight twice this weekend, first in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin’s preview of Kawaii Kon 2007, and then in New York magazine’s “Look Book” fashion feature.
The Star-Bulletin article takes a Cosplay 101 approach, gathering tips from veterans — “The first costume should be an easy one, not real complicated” — and delving into the communal aspects of the hobby.
But New York‘s feature is all about the fashions. You’ll likely recognize Chris and Niki Notalire — Blue Beetle and Catwoman — from comic conventions and countless website photo parades.
In case you didn’t already feel as if you knew the Notalires from repeated sightings, Chris’ answer to the question, “Do you wear your costumes at home?” will bring you up close and personal.
