The Vexx

meagan-marie:

While updating my website this evening I realized I never posted photos from my revamped Mario shoot!

I originally made this costume in 2009, and decided to modify it for my appearance in the 2012 Cosplay for a Cause calendar. It didn’t take long to fix up - I took it in quite a bit (I’d lost 30 pounds since I last wore it), made it a tad shorter, added some lace, found a much higher quality hat, and swapped out the boring flats for some knee socks and heels!

The first part of the shoot was at a local arcade that housed a Mario Bros machine. It was too perfect to pass up. After finishing up that set, photographer Josh Stokes and I went to the basement of his studio for a different, literal approach to portraying gaming’s favorite plumber. We ended up using a shot from this location in the calendar.

You can see more photos, and the original costume from 2009, here. :)

Day 6 - Most annoying character.

I don’t know any character that can beat Slippy on annoyingness. Really. I challenge you to show me one.

30 DAYS OF VIDEO GAMES

Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were).

Well, actually Spider-Man is a comic book character, but since he has lots and lots of games I will post him. Well, I am just like him (but I need powers to become him haha)
