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.

Lara Croft
I remember the days of the first Tomb Raider game - So many teenage boys believing in the myth of a cheat code that removed Laras clothes. She would have looked like a woman made of LEGO and they would still Find the thought very erotic. Oh those days of innosence...

She's well versed with wigs so I'm going with bald cap. Easy to hide excess hair in the back with that angle on the photo.

Why aren't the enderman's eyes purple? This makes me oddly frustrated
So we back in the mine, got our pick axe swinging from side to side, side side to side
Very true! However, that reward is normally during or after a poll dance in the form of $1.

Horrifying? Yes. Impressive? Also yes. Nostalgic? Still somehow yes...
The closer I look at this one, the more I think it's mostly photoshopped. The ears, eyes and mouth, no? Don't get me wrong, it's still great!!
Load More Replies...The teletubbies have always freaked me out. Still do something is not right about this show.
Agreed, it’s like there are mole-rat things doing satanic rituals around the place

She watched a lot of Sponge Bob. So do we at our house! No kids at our house anymore either. All grown but Sponge Bob still plays here!
Mine are 17 & 15, and Nickelodeon still plays in the background 99% of the time lol (it was on so much that it actually burned the nickelodeon logo into our old tv.)

Omg I thought no one remembered this movie! Glad people know about it and like it enough to cosplay.
I thought Miguel and Tulio were best friends and con men. Not father and son. Did I just miss a huge part of that movie?
Right, they were not related. Not sure she missed that part, or her sign has another meaning, like a private joke with her friends

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?
Load More Replies...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.

She’s gotten a lot of usage out of those hooker thigh high stilettos boots.
I think they're headphones, I have some that look like that, got them from Wish or something, don't remember

The fact that "Trump" and "sexy" should never ever no-way belong in a same sentences says it all.
Load More Replies...I think this is more a who wore it better type of deal.. Not cosplay
For this to work, she would have to be morbidly obese or get into a fat suit so she better looks like the lying fat one.
And smash her face into a plate of Cheetos.

I would have never guessed this if I seen her first tho.?
Load More Replies...I seriously don't get this one! It's really beginning to seem like she's just fishing for compliments and exposure! Sorry, NOT sorry.
Didn't click like the others for me. The randomness is great, but I think she chose an awkward thing to try to cosplay
👯♀️emoji
She should have painted herself bright yellow, otherwise she's just like any other bunny girl
I never thought id ever will have to think this... but an emoji cosplay? Really?

I think it's a small area rug - sheepskin maybe?
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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?
