NOTE: This list is a few years old. I'd love to update it because I'm sure some of these aren't available anymore. But keep in mind that Revlon, Jordana, Almay, Tresseme, E.L.F, and several other companies do not test on animals. I will soon add a makeup tutorial that may feature some different products, but I hope this list is helpful too.

A friend alerted me to a reddit post in which there is a booty-shakin' Rogue. I'm sorry to say that I am not that cosplayer. However, props to her, her booty, and her excellent shake!

I'm still glad you're here though. Please poke around! There are some booties, but no gifs of me shaking them.

That's all for now, sug'.

Last year at Wizard World, I made a lot of great friends. I felt like it was the start of something new. I like Wizard World better than the bigger comic cons, despite its sometimes lackluster reputation. It's the perfect size to see costumes, celebrities and friends.

This year was certainly eventful. I wore two entirely new costumes and one revamped and mostly new costume. It's always stressful wearing a costume for the first time but things went smoothly. I cosplayed Rogue for Logan's Closet to show off their jacket and it ended up being a surprise hit for me. It got a great reaction and I ca ]]> http://ruskicho.deviantart.com/journal/Cons-are-a-comin-300491564 http://ruskicho.deviantart.com/journal/Cons-are-a-comin-300491564 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:47:45 PDT Cons are a-comin'. nonadult journals/personal Ruskicho http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/r/u/ruskicho.jpg?5 Copyright 2012-2013 ~Ruskicho
1. Rogue (at last)
2. Batgirl (Steph Brown)
3. Black Widow and/or Catwoman (movie versions)

As always, I just hope things go as planned. Wizard World is my favorite comic convention. It's big enough to be entertaining yet intimate enough to hang out with friends. I'm most looking forward to seeing all the great people I met last year. :) Be sure to look out for me if you go!

My current costume dreams for this summer include: Rogue, Black Widow and Batgirl. I'll be wearing most or all of them to WW Philly, and we'll see which cons I can get to from there. Hopefully I can hit one of the Baltimore comic cons this year. I'll also be promoting at a comic shop for free comic book day!

It looks like I may have my own website soon! It will be a chill little place to hear my cosplay and dork related ramblings.

Oh, wait... I didn't get the chance to do my southern accent this time! My Rogue costume is being delayed to (probably) WW Philly this summer. The jacket I was hired to model didn't ship in time for the con. Bummer, but not a big deal-- it just means I'll have a fun new costume to debut at WW Philly that's (gasp!) finished on time! I still had a wonderful time helping out my good friends at the Logan's Closet booth!

As you may have seen, Domino made her debut. I had fun looking like a badass, despite my usually smiley and silly personality. At least, I hope I looked like a badass; that's up for you to decide!

1. Jean Grey (Marvel girl costume.)
2. *New* Mary Jane Watson (Comic version. This will be very simple-- a shirt and pants, and perhaps not worthy of being called a cosplay.)
3. *New* Rogue. (Classic version, yellow and green catsuit with short jacket.)
4. *New* Domino. (Marvel character, of the X-Force.)

I'm really excited and hope to get everything finished in time. If anyone has any advice, questions, or comments, I would love to hear them!
