Let’s talk about gender-bending cosplay for a moment. I love a well-executed character flip, whether it’s a lady-tastic Captain America or a surprisingly sweet Disney merman. What I find most ballsy (pardon the pun) is when the cosplay artist is the one getting bent, so to speak, rather than the character.
Case in point: Brixyfire, a gorgeous and gorgeously versatile cosplayer in California. Here you see Brixy playing both Leon Kuwata and Sayaka Maizono from the video game (and subsequent manga, novel, and anime) Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. No matter what the character’s gender is–and you really should check out the other cosplays–Brixy’s always on point and just smokin’.
Brixy also does custom cosplay commissions, and can be found at SacAnime, as a dedicated attendee since 2007.
