Cosplay is truly becoming its own form of art with thousands of people investing time and money to create elaborate DIY costumes. And making a well-crafted cosplay costume is not that easy as it can require a multitude of skills, from sewing to crafting, from hair-styling to body-painting and makeup. But like many social media accounts and dozens of cons and competitions show, the number of those who have harnessed those skills is growing and growing, and the creme de la creme of the cosplayers world keeps pushing the limits further and further.
Yet perhaps those meticulous outfits of the most popular heroes have given us a very one-dimensional understanding of what cosplay is. After all, many people now judge the worth of a cool costume by how accurate or aesthetically appealing it is. Well, this Instagram account gives a look at a completely different genre of cosplay, where unusually famous characters are brought to life.
Mira Park posts under the name “beebinch” and her best cosplays are certainly eye-catching. One might look at her gallery and say that they are definitely unexpected as her ideas are original and, best of all, humorous.

She even makes her crown appear to float above her head! That's awesome!
....am I the only one who thought this guy sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger?
No clue why u got down voted, you asked a legit question, I'm not sure maybe she used a clear thin headband attachment?

You're...you're aware of what cosplay is, yes? Costume Play. It's only a Halloween costume if you where it on Halloween. The other 364 days it's cosplay. Please don't hate on these people or disrespect their work like that. They try extremely hard and put a lot of effort into it! I'm putting together a Cecil Palmer cosplay now and I'll be the first to tell you cosplay is difficult. Last year I went to a con dressed as San (Princess Mononoke) and even thought it was low quality, if was fun to make and wear. So I restate, people do this for fun, because they enjoy it. If others like it, that's a bonus. But please don't be so bland. Frankly, no one cares if you're unimpressed.

Some were super fun and creative and some i felt were just an excuse to be 'sexy'. Not that there is anything wrong with being sexy, I just thought most of the originality kinda fizzled for me.
I agree, especially when Cosplay is supposed to MATCH the orginal character but she chooses a swimsuit over pants....;. the original character wore pants!!! So either Cosplay that character or don't

These started off fine, but then started getting really disturbing. Some of these really shouldn't be turned into "sexy" characters.
attractive woman thinks she can wear and look like anything and will be praised for it. Some are ok, most are weird, a few utter fails. But slack jawed hormone driven boys will forgive anything because.. girl... as a whole its sour and a fail.
If I had a figure like that, I'd show it off too. But I think there are some characters where that doesn't work, like Jack Sparrow and Edgar Allen Poe. But this is an interesting discussion - is it objectification if you do it to yourself?.
I think it could be considered that way, objectifying yourself as a sex object to obtain attention. It could also be viewed the opposite way. The key here is why she chooses to objectify herself, only she knows this, and it's still her right to be free.

Her makeup is just magnificent. I can barely give myself two normal looking eyebrows, much less what she does so well!
Lol She has the right to be sexy, and commenters have the right to their opinions. Great discussion. My personal opinion, which I have a right to, is that these costumes she made, which she has the right to make and post pictures of, shouldn't all fall under the title of cosplay. To me, a lot are just costumes. Some are very good, others, I think aren't that great. Y'all gotta stop being butt hurt over people's opinions. We've all got rights. We could, perhaps, discuss our differences and opinions like decent people.
I'm curious, what's the difference between costumes and cosplay? Doesn't cosplay mean costume play? What is she doing that doesn't fall under playing with costumes?

What I found interesting is the VAST majority of characters are those that are male, yet all those cosplaying them are female. Is Laura Croft the ONLY decent character that is female?? Where's Sandy Cheeks??
Well she didnt' match the original characters as closely as she could have, so I guess there is a reason .....

People are so rude in Bored Panda. She just wants to cosplay things, and just because she has a nice body, people are hating. Bored Panda isn't like how it used to be.
Bored Panda is a mixed bag. Sometimes you get heartwarming stories, sometimes you get weird ones, and sometimes you just get the community being bad people.
