LarpLikeRae has a knack for cosplaying duo characters with a high energy golden retriever personality and black cat energy. Sk8 the Infinity is one of the fandoms where Rae has brought to life the two main characters and enjoyed every second of the creations. The believe that not all cosplays are meant to be made and you can still have fun with cosplaying characters that you did not make yourself, there's a joy in store bought cosplays!
Reki Sk8 the Infinity Cosplay
Finding locations for cosplay photoshoots and content can be tricky at times, and the best places can be right around the corner!
Reki
"I love a good store bought cosplay every once in a while. I will not lie, I ADORE making my own cosplays from scratch or even thrifting and outfit for a character, however I do love the opportunity to cosplay a character that is store bought or given to me. In 2023 my amazing friend Lynn (@Lynn_Love33) had bought Reki's cosplay from my Amazon Wishlist and I remember wanting to hop into it right away however I had to wait weeks to finally get into it due to my busy convention schedule. The day before my Guesting tattoo opportunity in Old Bisbee Arizona for Pride, I had the chance to get into cosplay after setting up my temporary station and take photos around the old gay town. Right around the corner from the area I was going to be able to tattoo at was a brick wall of graffiti. I knew I had to take photos and videos there, so I had rushed to grab my tripod, got into cosplay and took countless of photos and videos in that area. I walked all around Bisbee to get photos and content made for Reki. Granted I did not have a skateboard with me, but I made it work! Since then, I have restyled the wig for Kirishima instead so if I was able to cosplay as Reki again, I would definitely get a new wig for him."
Langa Sk8 the Infinity Cosplay
A cosplay both cannon in different aspects turned into being a very comfortable outfit and relatable character.
Langa
"I've done two versions of Langa, both cannon in their own ways with fan art and in the actual show. The first version I had ever done was the cannon casual outfit of the blue haired boy consisting of a white shirt, black undershirt, blue pants and purple shoes. Langa has definitely been a fun character to do and consisted of my actual attire so it was something super easy to pull together. Langa's Hawaiian shirt cosplay however, was something I did not have on hand and had to actually purchase off of amazon. This cosplay was for Metrocon 2023 and was a pretty good success, the group I was cosplaying with were however not that recognized by other con attendees. I still had fun in both of these cosplays and would definitely cosplay again if I had the time!"
