Black Bat & The Spoiler, cosplayed by Betty Felon & Ali Kay
[Boston Comic Con 2012]

At Boston Comic Con, the wonderful Nate Buchman pulled us aside from the sweltering exhibit hall to do a photoshoot in the more secluded areas of the convention center. AK and I have been wanting to cosplay Cass and Steph for a while now, and I’m still in awe that we were able to pull these costumes together before AK moved across the country. We had a great time bringing our favorite BFFs of the former DCU to life, running around the convention with our capes catching the wind.

We plan on bringing Black Bat & The Spoiler to SDCC (after a few upgrades to our costumes), so look out for us in San Diego this Summer!

Note: A super big thank you to Alex & Juli of Twin Bee, for helping us out with Black Bat’s suit and The Spoiler’s hood ♡ Aside from the boots, the rest of the costume pieces were created by me & AK.

Reblogging on my personal Tumblr ♡

My main goal in San Diego is to get a photo of The Spoiler with the Waffle King (the mascot of our favorite diner, The Waffle Spot).

2012 Conventions & Events

Since convention season is right around the corner, I figured that it’s about time that I posted my convention/events schedule for 2012. Be sure to let me know if you are planning to attend any of these conventions - I’d love to meet some of my fellow Tumblrettes! :D

As always, I will have my camera in tow, so if any of you are attending these conventions, you better look sharp (whether you’re attending as a cosplayer or a civilian) - your ensemble may be featured on Fashion Tips From Comic Strips!

Events listed in bold = definite attendance.
