Alexandra Threw and Rebecca Williams are two, purist cosplayers who travel the nation in search of awesome comic conventions, cool swag and the geek glory of showing off unique – or simply heartfelt – costume designs.
In 2012, we first met Alex and Rebecca when they were cosplaying as members of the San Romero Knights’ cheerleading squad from the Lollipop Chainsaw video game.
So this year, we decided to follow Alex and Rebecca throughout Comic Con to track their adventures and get a daily report on cosplay life at the Con.
In our first Cosplay Diary, Alex and Rebecca tell us about their love of Star Trek, the culture and business of creating custom costumes, fun times with USA Network’s Psych panel and their motivations for cosplaying. They also share a boob story about Playboy because “who doesn’t like boobs?!”
