Faye Valentine (bikini variant) cosplay from Cowboy Bebop
I've been a huge Cowboy Bebop fan since the original airing on Adult Swim, and Faye Valentine was always my favorite, so I decided to do a quick stashbuster cosplay of her swimsuit from episode 10, Ganymede Elegy. The bikini is spandex and molded foam bra cups with beige powernet lining for opacity. The gold rings are painted Worbla, and the chains are jewelry chain attached with lobster clasps.
Unfortunately, bikinis don't take up much fabric, so I didn't get to use up much stash.
I wanted a glossy fashion advertisement feel for the shoot, or perhaps an ad for tanning oil. The bikini is a bit too skimpy for me to feel comfortable wearing it at a con (not having wardrobe malfunctions during the shoot was hard enough), but it was fun for a beach shoot!
