The art of sensuality
by :iconunbearable-lightness: Unbearable-Lightness http://drlightness.blogspot.com
One of the famous noir films was based on a novel by Raymond Chandler, so I looked to the "The Long Goodbye" (1953) to give us the meaning of all the blonde fatales. Chandler classifies and divides the blonde into subtypes. "There are blondes and blondes and it is almost a joke word nowadays," he begins. Some of them, it is true, "are as blond as a Zulu under the bleach and as to disposition as soft as a sidewalk."
The infamous Renaissance femme fatale, Lucrezia Borgia, was a rare Italian blonde. Then there is the blonde with a headache, the soft and willing alcoholic blonde, the small perky blonde, the anemic blonde, the gorgeous show piece, and the dream across the way.
While some may perceive the brunette as the dark and dangerous one, it was the blonde Chandler saw in that light and cast a
My Ultimate Nerd interview with Eve GilOK, apparently I couldn't do a video interview with *ContesaIntegra due to some complications and I sincere apologize for this. However, I DID interview her on DA through note and will share her answer to my questions with you on here. Also, before I share, ALL of her cosplay work is just awesome. I love it. Personally I give it 10 out of 10. Giving it the Ultimate Nerd approval.My Ultimate Nerd interview with Eve Gil by ~WingZero88
Ultimate Nerd interview with Eva Desu:
1. Who and/or what inspired you to cosplay & photography?
Well, my case is very special because I began to make cosplay to accompany to my older daughter to conventions. She inspired me a series of manga-novels that I named "otaku trilogy" and we make presentations of thems making cosplay. Besides, I study photograph and it is my second artistic passion.
2. Do you enjoy this line of work?
I enjoy it so much!
3. Do you ever have difficulty with your cosplays & photos? For example, having the cosplays trying to come out right when making them, finding the

Art of lifeAntes de tomar el vuelo hacia China, ese viaje que tan juguetonamente había planeado Kunikida-sama para finalizar el verano, debíamos volver a Tokio a hacer una nueva maleta, puesto que el clima comenzaba a cambiar y la ropa de verano no nos serviría en nuestro destino. Cho todo el camino de regreso –nosotros en tren, como en el camino hacia Kamakura-, iba jugando con mis manos, observando con una sonrisa cada movimiento, como si fuera yo un artefacto maravilloso.Art of life by ~AgenteYumi
(He de confesar que sospecho que Kunikida-sama planeaba este viaje con el fin de darle nuevas ideas a Murasaki –lo pienso ahora, recordando cuando declaró no tener mas i

| YOU CAN READ ORIGINAL VERSION HERE [link] Thanks to much to grace | August 10, 2012 1) Your Full Name My real name is Eva Gil, but my older daughter named me EVA DESU and I adopted it as "artistic" name 2) Tell us about you I'm writer, journalist and student of Eastern Cultures. I'm author of a series of novels inspired in dynamics of mangas and animes. Im mom of 2 children who are my teachers in cosplay art and I practice photograph and bellydance. I live immersed in the art world. 3) Where are you located? I live in Mexico City 4) What started you on the cosplay path? I began to make cosplay to accompany to my daughter to conventions, but now I consider it an art that I practice with same seriousness as I make my professional work. 5) When not cosplaying, what do you do? I write. Literature is an essential part of my life. I practice with photograph too. 6) What kind of cosplayer do you consider yourself? I consider me a ritualistic and perfectionistic cosplayer. Definitely isn't a game for me, however, I love to improvise with characters, without betray the essence of the character. 7) Do you have a current cosplay favorite? Yes! Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. Was my first professional cosplay, and I return to her ever I can. 8) If you have a long range goals in your life. What is it? Yes I want to be great in every thing I make: I want to be a great writer, a great dancer and a great cosplayer. My idea is to be better every day. 9) Do you have a cosplay story happy story, horror story, uplifting, artistic story you can share with our readers? Well I have an story in particular, when I made by first time my Caterina Sforza' cosplay: I was possing for photos front a church doors of Coyoacan while inside celebrated the Mass of 6 PM. Unexpectedly appeared an elegant gentleman (very similar to Colin Firth) followed by his young wife and two young children and when he see me, reacted as if he had appeared the Devil. -This lack of respect! shouted him. Her wife and sons jumped scared -How dare to portray this woman with these .rags at the door of a temple? A woman making fun of the costumes cardinal, my God, this country is at war! Cato Kusanagi, the photographer 10) Do you have any advice for someone who wants to get into the cosplay scene? I advice to cosplayers that take it seriously. Yes, is very funny, but I think that a lot of people see this as a child game, something without importance, and cosplay is an ART. 11) There is a lot of debate if Western/Asians should cosplay. Your thoughts? I am totally in love with Asian cosplay. Of course, there are wonderful cosplayers in every corner of the world, but Im seduced by the drama and elegance of Asian cosplayers. 12) Could you tell us a little about how you made the costume? I would like a lot to be cosmaker too. In some cases, I have dressed to some cosplayers, but only when it comes to improvisation because I have an array of wigs, weapons, gloves, furry ears, etc. I haven't knowledge of high couture, and when I require sumptuous costumes, I go with a wonderful designers who work for a TV channel, and they are my friends. 13) How far into the character are you willing to go while in cosplay? At the end of the day, are you "YOU" or are you your "CHARACTER"? Is different in every case: some characters are installed in me even after removing the cospslay, as in the case of one Sir Integra or recently Sebastian Michaelis. I have become much more friendly and contained since I did him but in most cases, the character fades as I withdraw the suit. 14) Do you have any experience of taking a cosplay event in a foreign country? No, unfortunately, but one of my biggest dreams is to participate in a convention in Japan or China, I REALLY love this countries, and I have reconstructed them through my imagination in my novels. 15) It is hard to exhibit the thoughtfulness and the spirit of a character, please tell me your secrets of success. Well I think that my secret to SEDUCE to people with my cosplays, is TO BE THE CHARACTER, not only a disguised person. I was a Theater Actress in University and I studied too much, but finally I decided to be the author of the works. However, these studies are helping me a lot for cosplays. I become totally in character, as Stanivslasky Technique. 16) Name 3 of your favorite (art/anime) books/ magazines. My favourite mangas (even I could make a list too much large!) 1.- The serie of novels of TRINITY BLOOD 2.- HELLSING' Ovas and manga 3.- MONSTER (I prefer manga to anime) 17) What is your life motto? As Nietzsche fan: "The maturity of man is having rediscovered the seriousness with which he played when he was a child". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
