Cosplay tip of the week!

so this is a new thing i'm going to do every week.
I hope everyone loves it.

Cosplay Tip:

When making prosthetics, make sure to include a very thin edge (called flashing) so that it can blend with your skin.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Cosplay Wondercon 2016

Just like fashionistas have Fashion Week and sports fans have the Super Bowl, comic conventions are something that we proud geeks look forward to every year. Among the best of these conventions is WonderCon, where some of the most talented cosplayers show offinsanely creative video game-, comic-, and movie-inspired getups. I've rounded up the cream of the cosplay crop from WonderCon 2016, so keep scrolling to get inspired!

I hope you all like it ;3.

Cosplay trends of new york comiccon

I like to think of NY Comic Con as the bizarro NY Fashion Week. There are the "big" brands (studio movies) and the independent artists of self-published books. Like NYFW, there are major trends that emerge from seeing what the fans wear in cosplay.

Nostalgia was rampant all over NYCC. I saw Marty McFly from "Back to the Future," "Ghostbusters," Rufio from "Hook," "Beetlejuice," "Spaceballs," the "Warriors"... These movies are celebrating multi-decade anniversaries. Many of the fans dressing up as their characters weren't old enough for their premieres, which says a lot for their enduring appeal.

Girls will be boys. An interesting trend I am seeing in cosplay is women dressing in traditionally male characters. Maybe it is a feminist response to all of the "sexy" costumes at Comic Con. Villains are just as popular as heroes. The makeup, weapons and outfits look fabulous.

Doctor Who is England's greatest export (at least at Comic Con). While die-hard fans loved the series, I didn't see big merchandise/groupie girls until Matt Smith's 11th doctor. With that brought interest and cosplayers showing love for the Doctor in ALL eras of the series. I love that both men and women dress as the Doctor, the TARDIS and all the companions.

Sure, you can just dress like your favorite character as they are portrayed, but for true cosplay cred? Steampunk it. The hottest alternative style trend has been the go-to mash-up look with fans giving characters like Wonder Woman, Boba Fett and Iron Man a historical twist.

If there was ONE character that remains the most popular for female cosplayers, it is Harley Quinn. Cosplayers range from the original cartoon version to sexier, gritty fetish costumes from the Arkham Asylum video game to their own looks that flatter their own curves the most. Considering she started as a minor character not from the original comic books, she's come a long way, baby.

He's known as the "Merc with a mouth." Ryan Reynolds made his debut as the character (sort of) back in 2009's "X-men Origins: Wolverine." The "Deadpool" movie doesn't release until 2016, but that didn't stop NYCC from being overrun with smart-ass guys in red and black. Maybe it's the sarcasm, the violence or the fact the costume suits all shapes and sizes, and you can be ridiculous behind a mask.

'So what ever you decide to cosplay. You will never be left out'

Cosplay in 2016

It's a new year, and the dead of winter is when a lot of cosplayers start thinking about their costumes for the summer. The new year is also a time when people make predictions. Popular cosplays can be difficult to predict, but there are certain things that make a costume more likely to be popular. Based on these factors, my picks for the likely breakout costumes of 2016 are:

THE LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

There's a lot of choice for cosplayers who like DC's lesser-known characters. Lesser-known for now, anyway. Both parts of Firestorm, White Canary, The Atom, Heat Wave, Rip Hunter, Captain Cold, Hawkman and Hawkgirl are all fairly practical costumes (as far as cosplay is ever practical) because TV costumes have to hold up under punishment in a way that film costumes don't. There's also a pre-existing reserve of goodwill for these characters because of their appearances in The Flash and Arrow. Vandal Savage cosplayers will likely start multiplying as well, since new villains tend to be very popular on the cosplay scene.

JESSICA JONES

Jessica Jones is one of the easiest potential cosplays of 2016, but she's recognizable despite all her gear being street clothes. It also gives cosplayers an opportunity to cop massive amounts of attitude in photos, so expect this one to be popular. See also: Kilgrave cosplays, because of the spillover of David Tennant fans from Doctor Who cosplay.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

JASON MOMOA'S AQUAMAN

It's been a while since a Justice League character had this meaningful a physical redesign without totally changing the costume to something stupid. Furthermore, there's a pretty long run for this character - he's said to have a role in Batman v Superman, but his standalone film is scheduled for 2018. When you think about tackling a complicated costume, ideally there's some guarantee that it will be current for a while, so this one's a good fit. Also, bearded, vaguely unwashed-looking characters seem to be popular. I don't want to think about why.

OLIVIA MUNN'S PSYLOCKE

Have you seen this suit? It's hot. Really hot. It has that combination of color, immediate recognition, and sex appeal that screams "instant cosplay hit". Other things in this costume's favor: a bodice just complicated enough to be more than spandex but still able to be crafted out of craft foam, and low-maintenance hair that can be copied with a wig style and color that's affordable and easy to find.

BLACK PANTHER

I think Black Panther will be the breakout cosplay from Captain America: Civil War, because he's a new character, and his suit design completely obscures a cosplayer's face. This means anyone can cosplay Black Panther without a facial similarity to actor Chadwick Boseman. The suit is just intimidating as anything too, and has just enough detail to be a challenge to make.

Japanese umbrella's

Japan is a rainy place and so designers are constantly looking for new ways to make practical protection from the elements in more interesting ways. The Touken Kasakaban Samurai Sword Sheath Umbrella Bag is a chic yet simple holder inspired by samurai sword scabbards, solving the problem of carrying an umbrella while you are sightseeing. There is even a sword print on the sheath (a plain one is also available) so you can put the bag around your shoulder and pretend you are back in the feudal period.



The "sword" designs also have different hilts, styles and colors, named after famous Japanese sword smiths: Muramasa (blue), Kotetsu (red) or Dotanuki (green). The bag is handmade with canvas from Kurashiki, a historical town in west Tokyo where the bags are exclusively available from a local store. The sheath doesn't come with an umbrella but you can add any regular model. For the best results, though, we recommend using a classic Japanese parasol or even a sword-style umbrella!

The Touken Kasakaban Samurai Sword Sheath Umbrella Bag features:

• Versions: plain, sword print (Muramasa/blue; Dotanuki/green; Kotetsu/red)
• Does NOT include umbrella or parasol
• Fits umbrella up to 90cm (35.4") in length

Tokyo Modest Fashion Show

Like elsewhere around the world, Muslim fashion is a very topical issue in Japan. Earlier this year we reported on UNIQLO’s partnership with Hana Tajima, the British-Japanese (and Muslim) designer who is reinventing the hijab.

Relations between Japan and the Islamic world took a hit after the so-called Islamic State executed two Japanese men in early 2015. Many fear that Japan’s military alliance with the United States will draw it into a conflict overseas and also make Japan a target for Islamic extremism, especially as Tokyo prepares for the 2020 Olympic Games.

Japan continues to be affected by jihadism, not least the capture of journalist Junpei Yasuda in Syria last year and the murder of seven Japanese aid volunteers in Bangladesh in July.

Incidents like the rape of a Japanese woman by Turkish asylum seekers in February, the brawl between Kurds and Turks outside the Turkish embassy in October 2015, and the December murder of an Iranian man in Nagoya, allegedly by a gang of other Iranians, also likely damage the reputation of Muslim residents.

That being said, there are something like 100,000 Muslims in Japan and new mosques are being built to meet demand, such as Bait ul-Ahad Mosque in Nagoya, which is Japan’s largest mosque with a capacity for 500 worshippers.

The first mosque in Japan, the Kobe Muslim Mosque, opened in October 1935 and remains active. The Tokyo Camii, located in a well-to-do district of Shibuya, has a Turkish culture center attached and runs tours for visitors.

The recent surge in tourist numbers has seen many people from Muslim nations visiting Japan, leading to an increase in the availability of halal meat and facilities such as prayer rooms in central areas.

The media is taking notice. NHK World recently broadcast a documentary about Muslims in Japan calledBridging Muslims and Japanese.

Nigi Nigi Osushi Yasan diy candy

Nigi Nigi Osushi Yasan

red = a very strong super sweet strawberry.

white banana = this is not as sweet and tastes pretty real.

red + white = mandrel sweet and not sweet at the same time a perfect combination.

yellow = very acid and clear lemon flavor.

white + yellow = grapefruit very tasty not very sweet or so not as sour as the yellow for selected.

It is very sticky and sweet. it looks very cute. It's hard to get out of the package. the packaging itself looks quite nice. The idea is very original and cute. A very simple but also one of the most fun DIY kits I've ever done. the rice has a very nice pattern on the upper side. nice that you can combine them /

yordi:  strawberry is my favorite fresh and sweet. The texture I found not that good.I like more harsher sweets.

I myself liked the rice best eaten the banana flavor was so subtle and smakkelijk.De texture did not bother me, I do love gummies alone I found it very sticky.

You have to just not eat too fast you get stomach ache.

And then it was gone!

QQ Gummies

Before i start this is very important i got al these products from 
http://www.seikatsu.nl/  so please look up there site. The people there are really kind.

QQ apple gummies,

First impression:

These gummies were from out a little powdery, and I did feel quite strange.
The gummies were in the shape of an apple.
They were also very soft, she reminded me of a squishy.
In your mouth you came pretty quickly through your teeth.
I find myself very much because I do not like gummies I very much trouble to do to get through it.

The taste:

The candy is pretty sweet I think this is mainly because the powder was sitting around the candy.
Apple flavor tasted very strange.
It seemed very fake.
I find personally sweets always very unfortunate.

After this i asked my brother to taste them,


Yordi:

I found them quite tasty a bit sweet.
Once I had a wish, I immediately have more.
I would buy them immediately.

QQ gummies orange,

First impression:
Again I found the sweets very powdery.
I liked the shape very much they leak on real pieces orange which is of course very funny.
They were again very squishy.
In your mouth were these little harder but still pretty easy to bite.


The taste:

The powder was at this time clear some sort of powdered sugar.
This was Showy not mind as soon as you bite into the sweet rose flavor of the orange on the right.
The taste was so real and strong here I was very happy.
Well I must say that you will taste a little fakeness but overall it seems pretty much like real oranges.

Again, i asked my brother to taste them,


Yordi:

tasty but sweet.
They feel moist on.
I really wish the whole bag but of course that was not fair.

QQ Gummies Blueberries,

First impression:

The form was in the form of real blueberries which of course is very cute.
And yes the weather is powdery and I think still a bit of a strange feeling Flashy but it is tasty.
It feels again like a squishy.
Also, the weather nice and soft in your mouth and not too hard to bite does this hardest of all of this is probably due to the shape of the sweet.

Taste:
This is really super sweet.
However tastes it again very much to the original fruit which of course is very funny and I myself find it quite pleasant.
This is definitely my favorite.


This did not dare to try my brother.

Generally:
I must say that when I looked in the background on the English calorie thing.
I was pleasantly surprised that it mainly consists of natural substances.
There was no fat in it there was 18g / 6% carbohydrates of which were 13g sugars.
There was also a further 25% of vitamin C in what is obviously pretty good for you.
