Lani Bassett

Co-Founder: Cosplay with Pride
Dynamic Cosplay
Participates in 4 items
Lani is one half of Dynamic Cosplay 


Lani & Sean, also known as Dynamic Cosplay, ultimately believe that cosplay is for everyone and that it can help change the world for the better! They've now grown past the idea that cosplay lives only at cons and have moved into helping support non-profits, fundraisers, marches, parades, & more through cosplay! They have even started their own community group to help local communities, Cosplay with Pride - and all are welcome! As for their cosplays, they love putting their own spins on characters and genres (gender bends, cross plays, universe crossovers, etc). Plus being a cosplay couple who are 30+, have a family of 2 kids + 4 fur babies and are of multi-ethnicities, they hope to inspire others to join them in their geekiness and support the cos-positive movement. Cosplay is for everyone, so have fun and put the PLAY back in Cos-PLAY!
