Angry Web

So I’m sure many of you realized we haven’t had an Angry Girl the past couple of weeks due to some unforeseen circumstances. To make up for it, we have an amazing girl this week ho comes to us all the way from Costa Rica.

Her outfits are top notch and her twist on Heath Ledger’s Joker is genius. We are very proud to introduce Angela to in this weeks edition of Angry Girls!

Name: Angela Bermúdez a.k.a Tenshi

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am 23 years old, born on march 19. Art is my passion, design and fashion are part of my life as well. One of favorite hobbies is to spend time playing with my friends and making photoshoots. My idea now is to focus more in painting and music, oil painting is my favorite technique, music is something I have left behind quite a while ago but I recall it dearly and would like to retake it.

What do you like to do for fun?
Listen to retro music, play videogames with my friends, drawing, sewing, painting and anything that has to do with art.

What do you (want to) do for a living?
Getting my ideas on the canvas, setting up photoshoots and couture, Im a simple girl who wants to make art.

What type of video games, TV shows and movies do you like?
I love shooters but I suck with the joystick, I’m a better headshoter on the pc

Also, love the figthing games, actually my friends always choose Mortal Kombat, but I prefer Marvel vs Capcom, and Soul Calibur… I miss them :v

The game that I love, and always will, is Metal Gear Solid 3.

I dont like to spend time watching movies or tv, but I enjoy some comedy shows and cartoons, also action and terror movies.

What is your favorite comic book?
I love the art of Steve McNiven on “Wolverine: Old Man Logan”

Tell us something interesting about you.
I was a sleepwalker and I have a husband. I also have a feature on Metal Gear Solid web and Playstation Official Magazine UK <3

Why did you decide to dress like the characters you portray?
I like to spend some time visiting my friends and play some videogames at their places, this increased my interest in videogame characters of course. It is very important knowing them, I like to choose characters that have captivated me in some way, I also analyze the costume and character design to see if I can make it as similar as possible.

Anything else we should know about you?
I am not a model and I don’t get paid for it. I just do it as a hobby, just like cosplay, and I like to design clothes and model them myself

This week we are proud to introduce you to Kelly.

Kelly may be a bit of a geek but the fact that she taught Tae Kwon Do in Korea can only account for her toughness. She studies theater in Southern California which aides her cosplay hobby and she knows her video games and comic books better than your average female college student and we are proud to introduce you to the lovely Kelly.

Name: Kelly Ruiz

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am currently a theater student at University of California, Irvine.  I am studying and honoring in costume design although I also perform in Musical Theater and Jazz. I have been cosplaying since 2000, over ten years now, and it is one of my favorite hobbies. Video games and comics have also followed me throughout my life and I started watching anime in middle school. Nowadays I still enjoy my old hobbies but have also adopted Jrock and Lolita as pastimes.

What do you like to do for fun?
I have many, MANY hobbies, hence the name EclecticManiac. Some of these include cosplay, anime, comics, video games, reading, animals, reptiles, sewing, singing, dancing, sports, and drawing. I also lived in Korea and taught Tae Kwon Do. I LOVE martial arts <3

What do you want to do for a living?
Besides freelance Costume Design, I work at UC Irvine’s costume shop as a stitcher, South Coast rep as an assistant to the wig master, and TGIF as a server. My dream jobs though, include being a full time costume designer, singing on Broadway, being a rockstar in Japan, and being a Veterinarian with a specialist in Herpetology.

What type of video games, TV shows and movies do you like?
RPGs are my favorite type of game and Zelda as well as Final Fantasy are my favorite series. I am also completely partial to Pokemon, hehehe!  The Nintendo DS Light is actually my favorite platform because it ports all of the classic and amazing rpgs as well as release amazing new titles. I watch all kinds of shows and anime but my all time faves include Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xena Warrior Princess. Star trek is held dear to my heart as well though and I love new shows like Supernatural too. There are so many movies I love and I own over 1000 DVDs so it’s hard to choose my favorites but ones that stick out to me are John Carpenter’s The Thing, Edward Scissorhands and Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke.

What is your favorite comic book?
My favorite comics stem mostly from image and Michael Turner- rest his soul- is my favorite artist.  Some of my favorite titles include Witchblade, Fathom, and Soulfire. I AM OBSESSED WITH ROBIN though, so I also favor DC. Someday I would have liked to cosplay every Robin costume EVER,

Tell us something interesting about yourself.
One fact I find extremely amusing about myself is that I can consume a whole watermelon in one hour! In general I have  a hyper active, optimistic personality, and am a total social butterfly.

Why did you decide to cosplay as the characters you portrayed?
I cosplay different outfits for different reasons and it’s so hard to pick a favorite one, but I mostly choose what cosplay based of these reasons: I either love the design of the costume, love the character, love a pairing or do it for my friends so that we can all cosplay in a group together. I think overall though I love cosplaying the derpiest characters the best XD

Anything else we should know about you?
I think I covered it all. Cosplay, video games and fashion are definitely what I’m all about and I love it! OH! I also own a 25 lb monster of a cat names Godzilla whom I love.

This week we are featuring another pinup girl with a hint of nerd in her.

Samantha is a classic beauty with a classic soul who was dared into cosplaying. What started as a love of Batman and a Halloween costume quickly turned into a hobby.  Thankfully for us (and you), Samantha’s personality qualifies her to be this week’s Angry Girl and we are proud to feature her on our site!

Name: Samantha Samsam
Age:  27

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am your girl next door, who happens to be a redhead, and a huge fan of pinup and most things retro, and a hint of nerd.

What do you like to do for fun?
Just hanging out with friends is what I enjoy most. Throw in some good food, and drinks, and I could not be happier. I love a game night, board games actually. I kick butt in Uno, but I am horrible at Monopoly. I am a girly girl at heart though, so I will gladly head out to a tea house with lace gloves any time!  This year, I am trying to fit in some new adventures to mix it up a bit.  So far I have learned to shoot, tight rope walked, but I am not sure what my next outing will be.

What do you want to do for a living?
I am studying to become a Paralegal… I plan on continuing school into some more law once I get my degree. Although, I would love to play dress up full time, and pay the mortgage that way!

What type of video games, music, TV shows and movies do you like?
I do not have a “type”, but I do have favorites. I have an odd range. The Big Bang Theory, and Mad Men are my go to TV shows that I make sure to watch every week. I also have a school girl crush on Jim Parsons, so I keep tuning in.

Music, from Norah Jones, Tom Petty, Dave Matthews Band, even a hint of Britney Spears, though my fall back seems to be more of an alternative genre. My tastes are pretty eclectic, but they do not include much hip hop (beyond a few Jay Z songs mixed in) and any Country.

As for video games, I am an old school Mario type of girl, and Tetris, I love Tetris and puzzle games. Some part of my brain will not allow me to figure out newer games that are more 3D, and not just moving in one direction. I tried playing Halo and Call of Duty, and I just get my character trapped in a corner staring at the sky.

What is your favorite comic book? 
The Walking Dead. After watching the show, I was shocked I fell in love with it. I am not a big horror fan, but this captured me. Once the season was over, I needed to fill the void, so I picked up the trades. The story is compelling, and not as much about Zombies, but the people trying to get on with life.

Tell us something interesting about yourself.
I am actually very shy and awkward in person. It takes me a little while to warm up and let out parts of my personality to people I do not know. This is why I enjoy working at events and jobs where I am forced to talk to people, it force me to come out of my shell a bit.

I also have very crooked fingers, you will never see my hands in an ad for Dawn dish soap.

Why did you decide to dress like any characters you portray? 
It started as a dare. My Poison Ivy costume was one I made for Halloween. I have a heart for Batman, my dad took me to all the movies as a kid, and we watched the reruns on TV. I even loved the lame 90′s neon ridden movies. After Halloween, a few friends started daring me to wear it to a convention, knowing how shy and horrified I would be to do it. It turns out, I loved playing dress up for the day! I love making things, and it gave me a way to expand on my crafting skills, so I keep going with it.

You can see more of Samantha’s costumes and pinup shots on her website.

Jeanne Killjoy is another cosplayer/model from the New Jersey area who is currently studying media in college. This talented Angry Girl is a musician and writer and when she’s not focused on the arts, she’s kicking ass in the gaming world with favored titles like “Dead or Alive” and “Tekken”.

With just over 900 followers on Facebook, we are trying to get Jeanne 1,000 by her upcoming birthday. Help us make this possible by clicking the link at the bottom of the page and without further delay, check out Jeanne’s feature and gallery.

Name: Jeanne Killjoy
Age: 21

Tell us a bit about yourself:
I am a full time student, alternative model and cosplayer from the NJ/NY/PA area. I’m currently going to school for Radio/TV/Film, and love working both in front of and behind the camera. I’ve been modeling since I was a kid when my mom would take me to NYC every week, but I recently got back into alternative modeling about 3 years ago. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a ton of talented designers, photographers, and models, but one of my biggest accomplishments was being able to model and walk in a runway for Japanese designers from S-Inc. I’ve been dancing for 16 years. I don’t get the chance to dance much anymore, but I go-go for events and stage kitten for burlesque shows every now and again. I’ve been playing piano for 14 years, and playing guitar for 8 years. I’m an avid writer and have been working on a novel that I ended up turning into a treatment for a film class of mine. I’ve been playing video games ever since my hands were able to figure out how a controller worked. I think some of my first games were Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Country. I think the rest of this question will be answered in the next question xD

What do you like to do for fun?:
For fun, I like to read, write, cosplay, play music and video games, go ghost hunting, dance, hang out with friends, especially at conventions, and watch old TV shows on Netflix.

What do you want to do for a living?: 
Right now I’m in school for Radio/TV/Film and Journalism. Ideally, I would love to be able to work on a music, video game, or fashion related show, either in front of or behind the camera. I’ve gotten really into the production and writing side of TV and Film lately. I wouldn’t mind going to Japan for a bit to make horror films as well.

What type of video games, music, TV shows and movies do you like?: 
This is such an in depth question; I can tell this is going to be a long answer xD. For video games, my genre of choice is fighting games. I like entering tournaments or just playing for fun. BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Tekken, DOA, Arcana Hearts, and Soul Calibur are a few that I play often. I even enjoy the oldies like Killer Instinct. Other than fighting games, I like playing Atlus games such as the Persona 3 and 4, Catherine, Devil Survivor and Devil Summoner. Hmm, I liked playing The World Ends With You. I’m a sucker for all of the Pokemon games. I’m really looking forward to Soul Calibur V and the Persona fighting game since it’s combining two of my favorite things.

As for music, I love almost everything. My favorite genre is punk. Green Day has been my favorite band for as long as I can remember. I also like alternative, industrial, pop, and just about anything that isn’t country lol

I don’t really watch too much TV anymore but I do keep up with a few animes like Persona 4. I am obsessed with the Vampire Diaries. I’ve been watching WWE wrestling since I was 3 when my dad got me into it. Almost 18 years later and I’m still watching Monday night Raw. I also like America’s Next Top Model, The Secret Circle, and watching re-runs of Buffy, SpongeBob, Power Rangers, and X-Men. I’m a history buff so I love watching documentaries too.

Hmm for movies, I love horror/paranormal films. I also love my comedy, and I can honestly say that White Chicks is my absolute favorite movie ever.

What is your favorite comic book?: 
I’ve always been a huge X-Men fan. I’m not sure I can pick a favorite from the series, but maybe The Uncanny X-Men. It’s hard to choose! I also like Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales.

Why did you decide to dress like any characters you portray?:
It really varies from character to character. Sometimes I see myself in some of the characters and want to portray that. Sometimes it’s because it’s a character I play in a fighting game. Sometimes I just see it as a fun/favorite character that I would have fun portraying. No matter the reason for portraying the character, I enjoy cosplaying and cosplay modeling because I get to be a completely different person for each shoot. I feel like I’m doing the character justice by properly portraying the character, not just physically, but with my actions and poses as well.

Tell us something interesting about yourself: 
Interesting? Hmm, well I think I’m the only person I know with dermal piercings around my belly button. I got pulled on stage to dance with the Adicts when I saw them in NYC in ’11. Other than that, I think it’s pretty interesting that I’m barely 5’0 and have been doing runway. Short girls! You have a chance afterall! xD

Anything else we should know about you?:
You can find out more about me and see more pics on my Facebook page.

This week’s Angry Girl is a special request from Daniel over at Collector’s Paradise. Crystal is a popular cosplayer who is featured in our 2012 Angry Girls Calendar. We had many inquiries as to why Crystal hasn’t been featured on our site yet and the answer is…there is no good answer.

Crystal does some amazing high end costumes that come mostly from popular video games like “Street Fighter” and “Metal Gear Solid”. She loves what she does and is extremely good at it. Be sure to check out her website, linked below, to see more of her amazing work.

Name: Crystal Graziano aka “Precious”
Age: 22

Tell us a bit about yourself.
When I was really young, my uncle sent me an NES for Christmas, so I basically grew up with video games. I played a lot of JRPGs when I was around ten years old, and the art style led me to be interested in anime and manga. San Diego Comic Con happens to be pretty close to me, and my parents were Trekkies, so I was able to convince them to take me so I could look for merchandise of my favorite series. That’s where I was really first exposed to cosplay, and I tried it out a few years later when I was 15. It was really a good creative outlet for me, and it’s how I met my husband, as well as many close friends!

What do you like to do for fun?
In my free time I’m usually sewing. I’m a big fabric nerd, and I really like to go to the LA fashion district with friends and look at all the different fabrics.  When I’m not doing that, I like playing games or dabbling in drawing and sculpting. I also really enjoy cooking when it’s not too hot out.

What do you do for a living?
I’m currently a full time art student. My husband is really into costuming too, so he’s happy with me not working while I’m in school so that I can make more costumes. When I graduate, I plan on pursuing a creative career of some kind. I’d really love to do costuming or special effects professionally, but I’m realistic that it’s a hard industry to break into. I really just want to do something creative!

What type of video games, music, TV shows and movies do you like?
My favorite game series is Metal Gear, hands down. I’m guilty of replaying the games over and over rather than branching out to a new game on my to-do list. As far as movies go, I like cyberpunk like Blade Runner and Fifth Element quite a bit. There’s something about the atmosphere of both movies that I really love. I don’t watch much TV, but I do follow Grey’s Anatomy and Project Runway. My taste in music is pretty diverse and arguably pretty terrible, and it ranges from soundtracks to Lady Gaga.

What is your favorite comic book?
I only occasionally read comics, but of the ones I’ve read, Watchmen is my personal favorite. The characters are really well-developed and believable, the story is great, and there are so many subtle details hidden in the artwork, and it makes it worth re-reading over and over. On a more lighthearted note, Deadpool is pretty hilarious!

Why did you decide to cosplay as the characters you portrayed?
With very few exceptions, I’m simply a fan of that character. I find that I’m usually drawn to strong women who can hold their own rather than the damsel in distress, and my choices in costumes reflects that. Helpless girls are just so uninteresting! Body type and facial shape are also important factors to consider, and I usually stay away from very young or short characters because of that.

Anything else we should know about you?
If you have any specific questions on how I made a costume, I’m always happy to help fellow cosplayers!

This week we are proud to feature Shannon (AKA Sushi SunDae)! Shannon is another Angry Girl with a great vintage style reminiscent of Magenta Costly.

Tell us a bit about yourself:
I’m a model, specializing in pin-up, alternative, glamour and fashion from Lexington, SC. I’m also a member of a large non-profit organization of women known as the Modified Dolls. I’m also a huge supporter of Autism Speaks.

What do you like to do for fun?:
I enjoy watching movies with my hubby and just spending time at a friends’ restaurant, eating and socializing.

What do you do for a living?:
I am a shift manager at a bowling center, a babysitter, and a freelance model.

What type of video games, music, TV shows, and movies do you like?:
I’m a huge Disney fan!!! lol. I usually play good ol’ Nintendo games like Mario Kart & Donkey Kong, but occasionally I’ll pull out COD Black Ops. I love House, Spartacus, and Weeds. Those shows always keep me entertained. And as for music…I listen to everything!

What is your favorite comic book?:
Batman! Everyone loves Batman.

Tell us something interesting about yourself:
Since I work at a bowling center, one must assume I bowl. That being said…I shot my first 300 the day after Christmas!

Carla Dawn is another stunning girl who is featured on our 2012 calendar! If you couldn’t tell already, Carla is another one of our girls who is fond of the Disney Universe and even belongs to the Superhero Disney Princess Group.

Being a fan of Disney alone won’t make you geeky enough to be an Angry Girl but Carla’s hobbies include reading (a lot) books and comics as well as gaming. She has an amazing attitude and we’re not only happy to feature her this week, but we are honored to have her as Miss September on our 2012 Angry Girls calendar!

Name: Carla Dawn
Age: 22

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Let’s see… I like to cosplay! I am a musician, a costumer, and a future teacher! I just graduated last month with a BA in Liberal Studies.   I have super awesome friends and parents who I wouldn’t be able to make any of these costumes without. I also like to model on the side just for fun.
I love group cosplays, and I am a part of the awesome Superhero Disney Princess group that will appear again at SDCC 2012 I was Super Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) last year, and I will be Super Cinderella this year!!

What do you like to do for fun?
My current obsession is X-Men Destiny on Xbox 360… it rules my life. :p But I usually like doing arts and crafts with sparkly things (and usually have to do with making costumes). I love to play tennis and go for bike rides with the love of my life, and with my other friends I like to cosplay!! I also am a super book worm…when I get a chance to be alone, I love to catch up on my constant supply of new books.

What do you want to do for a living?
Right now I work in retail, making a living as I finish getting credentialed. My real goal is to be a kindergarten teacher! I have taught music to children in the past and tutored children in reading, and I know teaching is what I’m meant to do.

What type of video games, music, TV shows and movies do you like?
I am really open to anything except horror movies and I am terrible at first-person shooter games…I still can’t get the controls down!!! I absolutely love RPG’s, like Dragon Age, where you get to level up your character and earn new powers.

I love almost any type of music, but I’m really into the TRON soundtrack right now (my birthday is coming up and “The Princess and the Frog” soundtrack is on my wish list *hint hint!*).  I love pop, R&B, and Disney soundracks, mostly.

My favorite TV shows are Firefly, Chuck (last season… so sad), Teen Titans, Shin Chan, and American Dad. Anything that makes me laugh!! As for movies, my favorites are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Scott Pilgrim VS. The World, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled!! I’m such a Disney fan.

What is your favorite comic book?
I absolutely LOVE “The Guild” comics to death. I’m a super geeky fan about the show and whenever a new one-sot comic comes out, it’s my first priority to go buy it and read it. Felicia Day is a genius! I also adore the “Terra” mini-series by Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and Amanda Connor. I have loved Terra’s character since I watched “Teen Titans” as a kid. As I got older, I started reading her story from when she was first introduced to the new Terra’s current story arc (and it continues in Power Girl). I just love that the old Terra’s story is so full of conflict for everyone and you never know what is going to happen next. Also, you can’t forget the Scott Pilgrim books… I thank my best friend for getting me into the series years ago.

Tell us something interesting about yourself.
I recently cut my hair super boy short just to see what it would look like… I will never do it again. :p

Why did you decide to dress like any characters you portray?
Because it’s so much fun! Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, so it seemed like a fitting hobby; I get to dress up more than just one day of the year, and I get to dress up with groups of friends. I love to do group projects and cosplays… it makes all of the effort to make the costume worth it when you get to enjoy it with friends. I choose characters I adore, or at least find out about the character before I dress up as them. I have done costumes before where I didn’t know about the character beforehand because a friend wanted me to complete their group (Rainbow Dash, Panty), but I watched the show beforehand and fell in love with the characters.

You can find Carla Dawn on Facebook, deviantArt and on Cosplay.com.
