A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Convention...

Long, long ago, I went to Anime Revolution 2012 in Vancouver and saw the events, bought the swag, and photographed the cosplayers.
Just a few months or so back, I happened to actually meet up with one of those cosplayers. In fact, we actually work together and live in the same town, which really is kind of surprising. You might vaguely remember her from my AR blog here, in which I mistook her for the actually super famous cosplayer/model Jessica Nigri.
The girl in question is Rion Risque.
Anyhow, she's a good friend of mine now, and I think it's decent to help her get famous. She hopes to make a profession out of cosplaying, and she does a pretty damn good job of it - her costumes are hand-made, and she honestly enjoys doing cosplay. She does good work, and ought to be recognized for it! As a person she enjoys long walks to Subway, laments her lack of a PS3, and hopes senpai will notice her.
Here's some recent shots of her:
Juliet Starling, from Lollipop Chainsaw
Espeon from Pokemon, and Annie Leonhardt (bikini version!) from Shingeki no Kyojin
Babydoll, from Sucker Punch
Go give her Facebook page a like! Hopefully someday, she can be as famous as that one person I originally mistook her for.
