Oh man! Where do I even begin? I am VERY VERY happy to finally be releasing
these photos!
This post is slightly different from all the past Epicstage features
because rather than showcasing one costume I have three to show. The
model for this shoot is our own very much loved Lada Bordewick, also
known as Etaru.
So, a brief explanation then on to the photos I promise!
These photos were all taken on location at Nan Desu Kan (NDK) 2009
in Denver, CO. I love going to this convention because of how many
great cosplayers tend to go there. Despite the venue being rather
small in comparison to some of the major conventions, NDK does quite
well in attracting us local/tri-state kids. (pffftt...kids? LOL)
Lada, Vince, Koi, and I (among MANY others) were very busy this NDK
with shoots and cosplay. Despite that, Vince and I managed to get a lot
of wonderful shots there. There are no words to explain my feelings
towards Lada's photos (Wait till you see Koi's too!) other than to say
that this woman FAR precedes her reputation. She's almost too much "awesome"
for one person to handle over the course of a single con. If you don't
believe me, I dare you to do what Vince and I did. We were exhausted
but it was totally worth it as the shots had me jumping for joy...no
seriously, JUMPING for joy. (I'm very animated in real life) lol.
So without further ado, Idolatry Studios, in association with American
Cosplay Paradise is very proud to present again the first lady of
Epicstage: Etaru.
