Halloween is right around the corner! What way to better celebrate the spooky season than to cosplay Blair.  This character is from the anime Soul Eater. Casey Nichole Cosplay loved working on this cosplay. Her favorite part is how over the top the skirt was, having the wire inside the skirt really helped keep its shape and give it an animated look.
