It feels pretty unreal to me (Robin Ek, TGG) that it’s been more than one year ago since I did my interview with Kay Bear (real name Kay Thomas). Well, time just flies by when you’re having fun right? 😉 Anyways, since I’m a huge fan of the “Final Fantasy” series I couldn’t help to notice that Kay Bear has released some really awesome pictures of her Rikku and Tifa Lockhart cosplay (she published those pictures not so long ago). So I thought for myself that I could share Kay’s cosplay pictures with you boys and girls =) Well, right off the bat, we got Kay’s super sexy and epic Tifa Lockhart cosplay:
I think Kay Bear just proved that it works perfectly fine to cosplay as Tifa Lockhart no matter what skin color you have.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think Kay would fit really well as Blaze Fielding from “Streets of Rage”.
And last but not least, we got Kay’s sexy and cute Rikku cosplay:
Epic indeed, I did notice something rather sad while writing up this post though. You see, just like in the case with Chaka Cumberbatch, Kay also has to deal with racist comments and racism in general:
Racism is ugly, but Kay Bear just gets fuel from it. In other words, she will continue to cosplay as whatever she wants to.
There is some good news to be said on that front though, because 99% of everyone who loves cosplay have no problem with Kay cosplaying as none black characters. Furthermore, racist comments only make Kay more determine to do even more cosplays in the future. So props to Kay for standing up to racist twats and for doing her thing =) Now that I think about it, perhaps I should do a new review with Kay Bear?
What do you guys and girls think? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section down below!
