Comicon – searching for your inner-Geek

Vulcan Costume

Spring is in the air and all the young ladies have only one thing on their mind: Comicon. There are dozens of booths and attractions that are created to dazzle the senses and spark interest. This blogger and cosplay enthusiast will be in attendance is sunny downtown Phoenix, Arizona. I’ll be joined by people of all ages and from all walks of life.

This year the media guests include: Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings), Billie Piper (Doctor Who), Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), Lee Majors and James Marsters. The panels, the shopping, food trucks, beer garden and activities all create a fun pop culture event.

It’s time to embrace your inner villain, hero or character and try to dress for the job you want (and not the job you have, because when I did that at my regular job, I got sent home; I guess they don’t like cat woman).

This year, let the fun begin and join the community of cosplay starting with finding the right costume. I’ve decided to find my logical side with a Vulcan costume from True Corset paired with some minor accessories like pointy ears. It all pulled together beautifully and added a sexy kick to the idea that Captain James T. Kirk would have definitely approved of.

The beauty of a corset-based costume is the versatility that can be created with each piece, paired in a variety of ways can be worn differently extending their functionality. The natural confidence that corsets create, and the quality of the garments, make it stand out from the typical off-the- rack that has been seen and done a thousand times over.

But if you choose not to “Trek” yourself, there are also other costumes ready to wear that are available. A few popular options include:The Joker, Poison Ivy and many other “marvelous” characters. Cosplay Costumes

Phoenix Comicon will be held in the 24-acre Phoenix Convention Center on 3rd Street in Downtown Phoenix.

Romantic Evening Out

Walking hand in hand on a beautiful, dark night with full moon and the light smell of the end of winter in the air is the type of romantic memory that brings a smile to your face. Finding something that is romantic and still expresses your unique individuality can be, at times, a balancing act. I’ve created this look with a long red/black corded corset, sexy red fishnets, leather miniskirt, knee-high patent leather boots and a long velvet coat.

*Hint: I find putting my boots on before the corset to be essential in stress free dressing.

Rock Concert

Some of my favorite dates have merged two of my passions. Live bands and being out with the man I love. This is the perfect time to don something sexy and fun. Paired this beautiful black corset with chain detail, black skinny jeans, black leather boots and, of course, a classic leather motorcycle jacket. This look is both versatile and alluring.

*Hint: Make sure that your jeans are not overly or uncomfortably tight around the waistband, because it can cut into your hip. This makes the corset not fit as well if it was unobstructed. Excessive restriction on your natural waist can cause issues as well. So ensure you are starting with clothing that fits properly, before lacing up.

Pretty in Pink

Some dates just implore us to bring our inner girlie girl out to play. Corsets can portray a variety of preferences and your own individual personality. Make a statement with a retro pink gingham corset, black, rolled skinny jeans, some sweet, pink pumps and a whimsical hat.

*Hint: When wearing new high heels, make sure to scuff the bottoms to avoid slipping on smooth surfaces. I typically walk out to some asphalt and “do the twist” much to the delight of my neighbors, who no doubt question if I’ve gone round the bend and admire my extensive shoe collection..

A Night Out Dancing

The Red Floral Corset Dress is perfect for a night out with your sweetheart dancing. Its light, flirty and romantic with its full circle skirt and feminine lines. Here I paired it with a red petticoat, some sexy black heels and side-swept hair for a wearable “Rockabilly” look.

*Hint: make sure when you are performing any activity that you avoid slippage. After you put your corset on, look in a mirror and raise your arms above your head and confirm that there are no visible choice bits. If you do find this to be an issue (happens to me) invest in some wardrobe tape or fashion tape and use a small piece on the front of your corset just above your highest point in the bust line. This should help to keep the ladies under wraps.
