I couldn't tell, she appears to have undergone a redesign. Is it from the New 52?

Limited experience as of now, I intend to cosplay Kitty Pryde this summer at a local con. The costume seems "easy" enough for a newbie to construct (standard X-Men costume from the '80s, yellow/black lycra bodysuit). I share her eyes, hair, and general physique so no wigs/limited cosmetics will be necessary. I would also like to cosplay a female variant of Vance Astrovik at some point, the costume however is difficult enough that I won't do it till I garner more experience. Wish I possessed more to share, as an aside I find that finding a simple pair of plain one-colored boots is a surprisingly difficult task (may have to just paint a pair of boots one color). As a rule of thumb I'd only cosplay D-listers or relatively obscure characters which I couldn't receive much criticism for masquerading as-- I mean, no one cosplays Astrovik for instance so even if my cosplay is subpar the "Aha!" of recognition I'd receive from those onlookers familiar with the character would make it rather worth it. Exceptions include characters who so resemble me, like Pryde, that I'd be miss not to cosplay them; it is a duty.
Happy belated birthday, monsieur.
It's interesting. Color associations do differ depending on the culture, I observed this whilst reading the manga adaption for Zelda: Four Swords Adventure. Unexpected class from me, eh. Spoiler: slight analysis thereof In the manga adaption, Blue represents Link's furious temper. Red represents Link's innocence. Quite the diversion from Western perspective, wherein the reverse is conceptualized: red would probably stand for righteous fury, blue for intellect, and violet for Link's innocence. Green's bravery is the only color choice which I found reasonable, expected, that was "logical" to me. If @Plums could theorize why Himekawa may have chosen for Blue to represent Link's feisty side, I'd be much obliged. Japanese Psych sounds right up his alley.

There must exist a motive for changing one's avatar in the first place, a propellant of sorts. So you change it for a reason, there is a particular aspect of yourself which you wish to showcase to the world; and then perhaps somewhere down the line you (sub)consciously alter your actions to adhere to it. If by that time you become cognizant of the fact of your own susceptibility toward outward influence, then you might change it again for the purpose of starting anew with a "blank slate" so to speak. This is generally my motive for switching in any case. Example. When I had Illyana (Magik) as my icon, I tended to be especially flippant toward people. Perpetually self-satisfied. It wasn't solely an act per se, although I did enjoy portraying a Daemon Overlord in a Skirt, Ruler of Limbo, Mistress of All and Subjugate to None--! Carried away there. At first I identified, I utilized her face for the purposes of self-expression, and then I fell into the niche. Then I changed to my current icon, Julio (Rictor). I do not share his suicidal ideation, but I find him relatable nonetheless as he's always struck me as very real and that's how I wish like being for the moment-- and feel like, minus the suicidal ideation. No energy for supporting a front, a facade, pretext. Basically what @Daydreamer said. This study may be of interest.
It isn't. Shirley Temple was more apt to be called "America's Little Darling," "Dimples," or "Little Curly Top." Pickford was "The Girl with the Golden Hair" or "America's Sweetheart." Little Darling is close, but no dice. Anyways, Temple's mother specifically styled her hair after Pickford's-- who had contributed her talents to silent cinema since the 1910s, nearly two decades before Temple was born (and she didn't start her acting career until 1932). Ya gotta pay your dues to the creative hearths wherefrom talents derive their inspirations from.
Yes, I've bothered to know a bit. My great grandfather on my mother's side was an Irish immigrant. We do not know anything about my maternal grandmother's heritage, for she was adopted (but it has been speculated she is partially Italian, dunno mostly guesswork). I even know a thing or two about mental statuses, my mother's paternal grandmother (the mother of my mother's father) was schizophrenic. I strongly suspect my maternal aunt is Histrionic. The only [distant] side of the family I've really "connected" with is my paternal grandmother, I did not speak her native tongue before I moved in with her but now we speak solely in Macedonian. Although she has lived in Macedonia ever since she conceived my father, she lived in Serbia prior and is of Bulgarian ethnicity; her parents were probably Bulgarian. Both my grandfathers are dead, so I do not possess the opportunity to ask them about their lineage. But I believe my paternal grandfather's parents were Serbian. It's interesting to muse about long-off relatives, unfortunately info pertaining to ancestral lineage can be difficult to track even with aid of the Internet. I tried a couple years ago to conduct such a search but was met with few results.

Stop talking.
And approximately 367 years from now, a talented playwright will write an absurdist parody by the same name. It shall feature prostitutes, coin-flipping, and there shall be no plot at all.
I find it amusing how you identify as a heterosexual cis male, but then. Your icon of choice.

Hello yes excuse me, where is the Eurovision thread? Did I miss it?
My favorite Liefeld moment is when he affirmed one of his characters heterosexuality by comparing him to ancient Greek warriors Greek warriors Oh, Liefeld. You didn't pay much attention in history class, did you. P.S. Rob Liefeld is still alive and kickin', and drawing bad comic book "art" (unfortunately).
If you don't know who he is, here is everything you need to know.
