Is it just me or does it feel like the whole drama Monica started was fabricated with the whole Youre lower then me" deal?
It feels like they made her say it for drama.

Even if it is true i dont care much since the blonde girl she said it too is actually really annoying, aside from her cosplay actually being really boring and simple. She always chooses such forgettable/boring charactearacterrs and then acts like "OMG BEING THE CHARACTER" is so important

It was funny to see monica cry though, (thats why Im asking if it was fake or not) You can tell she was because she suddenly put on shades
unless your a autist who thought she did that for the "deal with it" reaction

Despite what bitches most of these girls are in real life, reality TV is always scripted and they usually come up with side plots and ideas beforehand or on the spot. I have friends who have been on reality TV shows enough to confirm this. There is some amount of "reality" behind it, but it's pretty obvious that HoC is in the shit tier end of editing and scripting.

To some extent, they sound like they might have given Monica some kind of fed lines to be bitchy towards Becky, but she probably meant to to a certain degree too.

The way it was delivered though makes it obvious that it was scripted and planned to stir up drama and for the other girls to have a real to take Becky into their skit. Either way, they may or may have not told the other girls about the planned idea, so it's likely that Monika may have felt upset. that and showing for reality tv already can be frustrating in itself.

No. As an ATL local I can pretty much confirm not many people like her. She's become less about the costuming more about the body. Her craftsmanship is still amazing, but she's lazy with detailing and making the costumes pop. She's left quite a few friends behind if they're not 'on her level' as a cosplayer.

There are few people that are less liked than her at southern cons, and one of those is Thamm.

I was on my way to a photoshoot last year at Hardy Ivy Park( Dragon Con 2013). Ran into some mutual friends of Monika's and I's.
The mutual friends said hello and greeted me 1st, ( I didn't have my glasses on and could not see well, thus why I think I was greeted 1st)
I have known these cosplayers for years. From old school days. I didn't know who she (Monika) was then, but she was wearing her mage costume. I told her how beautiful it was. She looked me up and down, then rolled her eyes and kept walking.
I was not looking for gratification. I just really thought she looked beautiful. Sincerely.

She could have just acted like she didnt hear me. But she took the extra 5 seconds to make sure I knew I was beneath her. HOLY CRAZY BITCH. It's very hilarious in retrospect. I mean who does that?
. She was a complete BITCH. It was so unnecessary for her to act in that manner.
To hear and see her on " Heroes of Cosplay" and the way she acted towards Becky. Well, you cant hide being a rude bitch on purpose. Despite all her success, she must be really angry or upset on the inside to purposely be so mean. No sympathy towards the way she treated her mother on that show. her mother raised her to be a bitch.
Please lets not white knight her attitude on being tired. BULLSHIT. She was a bitch then and still is a nasty bitch now.
I hope someday sincerely she becomes a bit more humble.

does jnig actually even like her?

that whole "noidontwanttokishyou!" thing was so fucking awkward it made me cringe.

I dont really know a ton about either off them, never met either personally and dont really follow any of their shit. Just see whats posted here and there. They're both pretty girls, they both have cute costumes. Some of them fucking kill me because I really prefer accuracy, but hell, its their choice, so whatever,
BUT
I must say

1. jnig seems much friendlier than Monika
2.I had to give jnig a lot of respect during that whole awkward moment. It seemed like Monika wanted to kiss her to make herself look...."better"? Cuter? Closer to jnig than she actually is? Idk. Seemed like ladder climbing oooooor doing the whole "look its sexy that Im kissing another hot girl..but..i think im going to play it off so it doesnt seem like thats what Im trying to do."

and it made me happy that j wasn';t about it,.

and im done.

It was a random person in the audience, not by a friend of the group. Most of the audience was pissed off at this point.

Multiple people in the group apologized for what they said and none of them have said that they were dubbed over, just that SyFy was misrepresenting why people were upset, which was a completely understandable reason.

I know Monika personally and I can get why she may not be liked by others. She has a tendency to use a tone of voice and body language that comes off as snobby, but I really don't think she is intending to be snobby in 99% of situations. Its just kind of how she is? And she's not like Jnig or Yaya in that she's using cosplay to her advantage to make money to help her with school, she's definitely not making cosplay her future, she wants an actual career.

Just my 2 cents.

>For those who don’t know which one was me — I was the 8th Doctor.

>Last year I met the Kansas City Time Lord Society group and joined it. I got to know several of the members and one of them started talking about wanting to do all 11 Doctors only done as women. I’d been wanting to Cosplay for a long time and had been talking about different costume ideas with my friend, Codename: Greyhound Leader, so this seemed the perfect opportunity.

>ALL our costumes with the exception of the 10th Doctor and the 9th Doctor were created by the girl cosplaying as the 3rd Doctor — Hilary. And she even did some tailoring for the 10th and 9th Doctors’ costumes as well. I agreed to do the 8th Doctor mostly because I could do Paul McGann’s auburn curls without having to wear a wig.

>Hilary had most of the costume — I just had to provide pants and shoes out of my own closet.

>I picked up the costume just a couple of days before the con because Hilary had to put some finishing touches on it.

>And now for real cosplay drama — I tried the costume on and the jacket swallowed me whole. I’m pretty slender and Hilary had actually made the jacket for her sister to wear. PANIC! I contacted Hilary and we arranged to meet after work at a Barnes and Noble. So we’re standing in the Barnes and Noble café with me wearing the jacket and Hilary pinning the heck out of it so she could take it home and tuck and pin it. And amazingly she was able to tuck and sew the heavy, velvet fabric without cutting it so that the stiches could later be removed so that her sister could still wear the jacket. And she did it with just a day to spare before the con.

>The thing of it is that the press release about the show which was published by Planet Comicon (which in their defense was what THEY got from the production company) led us to believe this was going to be a VERY different show than what it turned out to be.

>NONE of us knew we were going to be part of a reality tv show AND we had heard that the Sci-Fi channel people were NOT going to be eligible for the contest… which of course, they were.

>We found out only when we were IN the competition that we were punching WAAAAYYYY above our weight class.

> Planet Comicon, while a GREAT con, is still a REGIONAL con. This year was it’s first year in Bartle Hall which is THE PREMIERE convention location in Kansas City. Before that it was held out in the suburbs.

> Planet Comicon doesn’t attract PRO Cosplayers.

> As for the rest — Bert, you’re actually on track with the Fairies — they perform at Kansas City’s Renaissance Festival every year. That’s the only reason why they HAD a skit. One of the fairy girls ran home and grabbed their music when they found out about the skit requirement and they just performed one of the dances they do every year at the Ren Fest.

-

> "So basically they introduced a last minute requirement, a skit, in order to give an unfair advantage to their performers? Not sure the con has been doing itself any favours there."

> Well, the con organizers weren’t actually running the costume contest — the production company stepped in and started running the costume contests… well, all except for the children’s costume contest because of course they didn’t care about that….

> The costume contest was a bit of a mess with a lot of ‘the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing’ stuff going on. We were not informed of the skit requirement but that doesn’t mean it was exactly last minute — just that the local participants didn’t get the memo.

> Obviously it COULDN’T have been last minute because the ‘Heroes of Cosplay’ were obviously prepared. I mean, they had a bloody SMOKE MACHINE! And Yaya’s group had actual SETS, BACKDROPS, and freakin’ STAGEHANDS!

-

> As for the rest of my story…..

> Our 11th Doctor actually had terrible stage fright so the announcement that we were going to have to do a skit sent her into a panic attack. She was a trooper as you saw though and she really threw herself into it. For a while though it was touch-and-go and to whether she would end up hyperventilating on stage and passing out.

> Oh, and as for the female version of K-9 — again, that was all Hilary. It was actually brilliant because for most of the con K-9 was in ‘male mode’ and then when we prepared for the costume contest she pulled off the regular bumpers and put on a set of bumpers painted pink, took off K-9’s regular plaid collar and put on the pink one, and then added the pink bow on top of the head. She then called her K-9 Mark Femme.

> And, again, the important thing to keep in mind is that Planet Comicon was making a BIG leap this past year. It had been growing nicely but moving up the Bartle Hall was a BIG move and a gamble at that. The con is organized and run not by a corporation or rich people with deep pockets — it’s run by a bunch of geeks who volunteer their time and services. The money made at the cons gets poured back into next year’s con. So it Bartle Hall had been a flop and LOST money it stood a very good chance of severely wounding if not KILLING the con. The organizers — who were ALSO not told the truth about the nature of the TV show — took the production company’s offer because they thought it would help draw people to the con and try to make sure they earned some more money to continue supporting the con.

In addition to that I had left my dog alone in the apartment all day and hadn’t been able to run home and let her out and it was after 8:30 already when they had us in the ‘wrap-up interview’ process. It was after 9:00 before I could get home. I was terrified I was going to find a mess on my carpets from my poor dog. As it was the little trooper had done well and held it…. poor thing.

>And then there was the ‘interview wrap-up’ we had to go through. We got interviewed and filmed by what was obviously a ‘B-Team’ and the interviewer kept trying to get Hilary, as our spokesperson, to say something nasty and incriminating, but Hilary knew what she was doing and refused to say anything bad. Instead, we were all sweetness and light. I don’t imagine they used much of THAT footage in the show.

>But basically, the production company did EVERYTHING they possibly COULD do to make the show look staged and rigged to those of us participating. A member of the production company kept going to the judge’s table and talking to the judges — making it look like they were telling the judges how to vote (we found out later, FROM one of the judges that they were not but rather the production person was trying to get the judges to make embarrassing comments and ask embarrassing questions of the ‘Heroes’ groups).

We WERE upset though and stuff got said which shouldn’t have gotten said but at the end of the day I place the blame squarely on the production company — 51 Minds Entertainment. There were NOT clear on what type of show they were filming and they were NOT clear with the details of the competition. If we’d known what they were we probably would have waited a year. We wouldn’t have won any money (Planet Comicon doesn’t usually offer cash prizes) but we didn’t care, we didn’t do it for the money, we did it to have fun. And if we’d waited we would have been going up against other cosplayers who were our speed. And we probably would have lost to the Iron Avengers and we would have been happy about that because the Iron Avengers were AWESOME!

> We’ve also heard from the person in the audience who *actually* shouted “Everyone who isn’t a SyFy plant, I love you!” When the episode aired this line was re-dubbed to say “Out of Towners Go home!” or something to the like.

what is most embarrassing to me is how little these people make of their own costumes. where I'm from you aren't allowed to enter unless it is 99% made by you. YOU. not your boyfriend, not your dad, not your friends- YOU. they are not being judged, YOU ARE. due to these idiots I will probably end up with a bunch of people in costumes mostly made by other people entering my local contests expecting to be qualified.

never mind that half of the commissioned work isn't even admitted to, like the elizabeth's corset and other costume parts and chloe's first costume. also from what they showed in the episode all monika did for her cheshire was rough up a corset and jacket and make some booty shorts.

yaya is also tacky as fuck entering a competition when she is a professional and has been in the circuit as a judge and cosplay guest this long, its like a winning american idol contestant going to compete in a small town amateur singing contest knowing they'll rake in the prizes.

to be fair, yaya is a 'professional cosplayer'. not a professional costumier, designer or sfx artist. she doesn't have a degree in any of those things, nor is she making costumes for other people as a business, so it doesn't bother me much.

in the UK we have sands who is actually a SFX professional entering cosplay competitions and nobody says anything even when she obviously puts other people off.

honestly I find that shadier. to be fair I guess a lot of people don't enter which is probably why no one has said anything yet.

Because they like contests. Also skits are becoming more and more important.

once you are a professional and accept offers to be a guest and judge on more than a casual, once in a while basis you should not be allowed to compete with amateurs/hobbyists.

you are obviously considered an expert in the field and on a different level than contestants. you are chosen to be a guest/judge for a reason, because you can bring something to the table your average cosplayer cannot. you can't turn around and then say that it is fair for you to enter a competition against the average cosplayer. if you want to compete amongst other people of your level and experience, go right ahead.

you can't be a teacher, and then go take a test with your students and win the prize. well you can, but it's tacky and all decent contests should ban this. my local contests do not allow professionals to compete with amateurs.

yaya and a few other cosplayers make their career with cosplay, they can't claim they're not professionals.

I don't compete that often and as I said it is annoying seeing the same faces always getting the prizes. I could make a quiz about the winners before the con and win a cash prize because almost everytime I get it right.

there's no rules against it I'm sure, however it's just tacky. like any professionals competing with a bunch of amateurs. also those 'only 2 contests' were both big ones. and if sands didn't want to put anyone off she wouldn't have announced entering (i didn't know Lex was/had entered till I saw pix of the winner after the con)

it's all very well saying 'man up' but when you're competing with people who have access to a full SFX studio it's far from a level playing field. Xae just works for himself (I think?) if he was working full time for SFX company I'd say the same for him too and whoever else.

dunno man. just my opinion, pro's should be judging contests not entering them, or it just makes them look like glory whores. i stand by my 'big fish, small pond' statement.

It is the contest's/convention's responsibility to make categories or decisions based on skill level of contestants. You can't really bitch because someone has a skill or a job that you don't. Any contest worth it's salt should have categories for contestants, so people with more experience don't end up competing alongside first-timers.

a lot more professionals enter contests like Dragon Con and Blizzcon. It's still a bit lame but not quite as bad because they're all competing alongside other pros.

also professionals who work for themselves don't have access to nearly the same stuff as those in industry for the most part.

again it's not against the rules for them to do it, it's not WRONG it's just.. why are they doing it? there is nothing to prove for a professional and the only gain is glory, beating a bunch of amateurs is not impressive to me. that's why it looks tacky.

You sound like the type of person who uses the lazy excuse of - oh they announced they were entering so what's the point.

I doubt anyone enters costumes to prove anything they do it for fun, I know Sands does, she'd been making her Ravenna outfit for months and it was only because her Cosplay partner Ben said let's enter together that she did it. (Not to mention her costumes have actually been more fabric heavy than 'SFX')

As with Volpin or GSTQ entering together, if the rules state they can then let them. They made an amazing outfit together, and deserved the win. You just sound like a sore loser when complaining about that, why shouldn't they enter, they worked hard too!

Quit whining and make a costume to enter with, ECG and WCS are free from complaining about that now.

i am not remotely competitive, I didn't even go to the con they wore that stuff at (seriously.. hyper japan is so dull, went one year cba to go again). so no I am not a sore loser.

there's little 'fun' about competitions unless you know you are going to wipe the floor with other people because the bar is set so low (and even then it's a lot of hardwork). it's not even impressive to win in the uk because you're competing against barely any other people (though congrats obviously to those who placed france and xae winning one of them before).

you're obviously a friend of hers to know so much so i should say it isn't personal. but if they didn't want to put people off they could have kept quiet like lex did. and i still think it's tacky for professionals to enter cosplay competitions against amateurs.

Really just drop it you come across as such a sore loser, I'd be embarrassed for you.

Lex announced it a month or so before on her page actually when she decided to enter quite late, just scroll back on it a while.

I didn't see anything 'sfx' about either of the 2 costumes, Sands was almost purely fabric and anything else she made she gave a full break down and all of it was things you could do at home.

Anyway, the point of WCS and ECG is to have your country represented well so I don't understand what your problem is. If they entered a small time convention I'd get it, but they don't...
I love that we have professionals over here representing our country well and sharing all their knowledge with everyone, it makes for a much more diverse community and one we can be proud of.

I'm so sick of people who suggest that a cosplay show should be like faceoff.

Cosplay is a hobby, who the fuck is going to take time of work to go live in a house for 2 months for a tv show to win what? Being s sewing monkey in some shop? or sweep floors in a prop studio?

The thing about cosplay is everyone has different strengths, faceoff is specifically prosthetic (which is why Half of the work like; Casting, wigs, costumes, etc) by a 24/7 crew in the back half of the building. Also the reason Faceoff people can take that much time off to compete, because they aren't getting any actual work in the industry.

RuPaul is the closest thing to a cosplay show there is. Some of those queens don't even make all their own stuff, they rely a lot on wardrobe they already have.

What >>7116579 said. It's just a form of iron on vinyl. Not sure if it's specifically "European" but loads of people do use it here for intricate patterns on things.

People have presumably taken time off work for worse reality shows (dating shows for example). I was just saying I'd rather see the contestants vs contestants. It's pointless to see them go to these conventions where either they're given the means to help them win, or you see all this drama and Jane Nobody walks in and wins it. It's kind of like, either they win and they look like a shithead or they lose to somebody not on the show and it's like "ok what's the point? obviously the contestants aren't that good now."

I guess I'm going to dislike it no matter what. I'm not into competitive cosplay. I just do it for fun as a hobby.

If you put 25% of your effort in the costume you have no right to whine when it isn't up to your standards. I feel bad for her roommate because he seems like a cool guy and what he did with the rose stand was fantastic. He deserved way more credit for putting that thing together in the amount of time he had. Seriously I'm with other anons who wouldn't want to cosplay in a group with her either.

I actually feel kinda bad for the contestants on this show. I’m sure that due to the fast-paced production schedule of most television reality shows, they were forced to make all their costumes for entry in what? A week? It’s no freaking wonder they keep losing. The other competitors have probably been working on their costumes for months, if not longer. Especially since at the cons, SyFy would try to rope more people into the contests to compete by saying “Win $1000 and a chance to be on TV!” So people who had no intentions of competing came out of the woodwork… And I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the winners commissioned their costumes since it must not have been against the rules if Chloe, Becky, and Victoria did it.

But would it be different if this show was a competition? I'm thinking it would be, as Heroes of Cosplay was billed as a "documentary".

If there was a competition where they had to dress as a specific character, assigned to them by the show, then there would probably be more legal hoops to go through.

The point given was for a cosplay competition, it's mostly recognized by the utilization of characters that are copyrighted by a third party. These third parties will usually turn a blind eye to your average otaku seeing that the main intent is not to profit on said character.

For a TV show competition, one would surmise that having a specific theme based on a particular show or property would entail a legal nightmare. Even going the "generic" route would be a palava given how OC characters are.....

That's true, but the winners are always different. The only one who won twice already was Leandro tho. But that's it in a nutshell. People tend to want to either avoid drama or simply not bother when they know they probably wont win.

In itself I'm sure its a nice experience to be in a competition, I for one would like to participate once, but hence, my life/job/etc wont really let me.

Saphira is the only nice one we're sending this year, and her skit fucking sucked balls. Just go on youtube and look up for the skits this year, you'll find them all already. That's how I watched them.

Also. I don't think you have to be a diva of cosplay in this community to win. The simple fact that you were in a skit contest before is enough to upgrade you, and give you more chances to win for the ECG or the WCS. At least that's what I heard the judge said last year to the girl who placed second or something in the ECG. Or just rumors. But its still nice to have a few skit contests under your belt, I think.

There is no new episode of Heroes of Cosplay tonight, but as I just returned home from Germany and have access to my computer again, I can finally share a proper photo of my Red Queen costume from Alice: Madness Returns!!

The only photosho...ot I did with this costume was for my 2014 calendar, as the costume was made for Planet Comic Con and I wasn't supposed to show any photos or re-wear it until the episode aired. So you get a calendar sneak peek as well as the Red Queen photo!!

Regarding the costume: I made this costume in 7 days, which for me meant binge crafting for most waking hours of the days. The trick to marathon making a costume "quickly" is to be prepared, get all the materials required in your house, and not make too many mistakes (saves a ton of time). I ordered the gold heat-transfer vinyl in advance as well as bought all the fabrics and wig in advance. Then when it was crunch time to finish the costume with a camera crew in my house, I could focus on just cutting and sewing and ironing and worbla-ing.
The bodice and skirts are made with a heavy weight satin (same type as my C.C. costume, it's the only satin I will work with these days), and all the gold designs were drawn out and vectorized by me, then cut out of hot transfer vinyl, then iron formed to the costume. That probably was the most tedious part of the costume, and the most nerve wracking because once a design is down, it can't be moved. I bought my vinyl from http://heattransferwarehouse.com/
The crown is made out of Worbla and has magnets embedded inside to click to matching magnets sewn into a pouch in both my wig and Riki's Alice wig. That allowed for the transfer of the crown on stage. In hindsight I should not have used another sheet of Worbla for the bottom of the crown, but stiff felt. The thickness of the Worbla weakened the contact of the magnets to my wig and that's why the crown fell when I whipped my head dramatically lol.

The claws are extremely modified Halloween skeleton monster hands which I've had since last Halloween. Yes, I'm one of those people who buys random stuff at Halloween stores the day after to get the 50% off deals... Chris kindly covered them in the same red urethane rubber that Riki's dress is made out of to achieve the same gooey flesh texture as within the game.
My makeup is really freaky in person, and I think I did a better looking makeup job for this photoshoot than in Kansas City. Second time around everything goes a little better

Regarding the skit:
You can watch the Alice skit Riddle's Messy Wardrobe, Monika Lee and I did at Planet Comic Con here:
http://www.y ou tub e. c om/ watch?v=Ti-CYi-S4-Y&feature=youtu.be

I wrote the script with input from Riki and Monika, and we specifically created a skit that was understandable to audiences who have NOT played the game. Skits are very short theatrical performances and, to me, they are more enjoyable when they tell an overall understandable story. We know the Queen is not the "true villain" in the game, but for the purpose of this skit in a contest called "Heroes vs. Villains", the Red Queen fit the archetype character of the villain. Cosplay skits do not always have to be complete re-enactments of their source material, that would be boring, and very confusing to the audience. Be creative with your skits as you are creative with your costumes.

We had a wonderful support team for the skit, and the credits are as follows:

Sound track editing - Kevin Spooner (with Yaya fretting next to him)
Voice of Alice - Jen Spooner
Voice of Cheshire Cat - Laura Sindall
Voice of Red Queen - Kelly Jean
We really were so very very lucky to have 3 amazing British girls willing to voice the characters for us. And Kevin was such a great sound guy to make the track for us
Backdrop printing and insertion of lights - Riki
Backdrop frame build - Brian Boling and Bill Buckley
Backdrop curtains made by Yaya
Stage handlers - Brian and Luke (the latter was a great kind guy who stayed with us the whole day just to help Brian get the backdrops on stage and move them at the right cue. Such a gem!)
Costumes made by each of us - Riki, Monika and Yaya

Regarding the calendar: I knew as soon as I chose the Red Queen as a costume to make that I wanted her to be October for my 2014 calendar! Halloween theme!!! The photo was shot is by Benny Lee Photography, and the calendar was designed by David Terres.

You can find out more info on the calendar and how to purchase it here: <blah>

A lot of the stuff on the show is scripted to an alarming degree. The Planet ComicCon 'Femme 11' group scandal actually happened and was later edited by SyFy to look far more dramatic than it actually was. Tumblr of course blew a shitfit about it even after Chloe Dykstra posted to clear the air about some of the stuff. I personally enjoy the show and treat it as any other reality tv thing. The costumes are what matters to me.

Speaking of costumes... oh sweet god that 'Cheshire Cat' monstrosity... there was nothing 'sexy' about it. That character isn't even supposed to BE sexy in the American McGee's Alice games.

Not really. She talks about peoples costumes behind their backs, friends or not. She gets competitive when people do the same costume to the point it's sickening.

I also don't like how trashy her photos look, but I'm not sure how hotel room photoshoots look not like you're watching a cheap cosplay idol DVD. I am honestly surprised she's not a CosDev girl yet.

And I /hate/ her Uranus costume and photoshoot. She made Uranus look more femme than Neptune does. All that aside, she has improved a lot, and is a lot better now.

But girl's attitude needs to change.

She's really very insecure, which is why she's so rabidly defending people on her tumblr and asking everyone to play nice. She genuinely seems devastated when people say even mildly bad things about her after she willingly posts her photos to reddit herself.

She seemed cool on the show because everyone else is just so much more awful by comparison, and Chloe is enough of an actress to understand how to not make herself look like an ass on camera. On the internet though it's a different story.

Why has no one pointed out the most obvious flaw in this show?

They spent. No. Budget. They paid for the cameras, and that was it. They rode off of every convention they visited's dime.

If they had set this up like a CONTEST it would've been alright, at least. But this is clearly just lazy, shitty work by SciFi to occupy a low-end time slot.

But the fingers didn't obviously look like cheap halloween skeleton hands in the end though, and she could have easily done the same thing with regular gloves, she just had them around for cheap. With the horns it was still obvs a store bought cast, it would have been different if they just used it as a base and built something completely different on top of it. If Yaya just spray painted halloween skeleton hands, THEN it would be the same thing.
