One cosplayer with a difference is Mira Park, who instead of opting for dressing up as the who's who? of fandoms like Lord of the Rings, instead chose to dress up as unexpected characters. And, trust me, the results give a whole new meaning to the words creativity and impressive. So, we've compiled a list of 30 of her best creations. Enjoy!
[post_page_title]Gary The Snail (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
Spongebob is an animated phenomenon and one character we've come to know and love is Gary the sail, Spongebob's pet. And for obvious reasons, snails aren't the first thing that spring to mind when most of us think of cosplay. But not Mira...

[post_page_title]Handsome Squidward (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
One character from Spongebob who you might expect the odd person to cosplay as is, of course, Squidward Tentacles! But like so many characters on the show, he's got more than one incarnation and Mira cosplayed as the most unusual. Obviously.

[post_page_title]Sharknado[/post_page_title]
It's the subject of countless hilarious memes about bizarre movie ideas which became a reality, so obviously, Mira was going to cosplay as Sharknado on her quest to channel the more unusual pop culture icons.

[post_page_title]Lara Croft[/post_page_title]
Lara Croft is a pretty standard go-to cosplay option, but Mira being Mira, she wanted to keep things real (and hilarious) by channeling her as we saw her back in the day! Ah, those pointy, pixelated boobs.

[post_page_title]Lord Farquaad (Shrek)[/post_page_title]
Lord Farquaad is memorable for all the wrong reasons. A nightmarish incarnation of every repulsive fairy tale prince, and Mira channelled this gloriously with her cosplay of him.

[post_page_title]Emily (Corpse Bride)[/post_page_title]
Tim Burton's characters are instantly recognizable with their long spindly limbs and wide eyes, but because they're so far removed from what us human look like, they're not a popular option.

[post_page_title]M87’s Black Hole[/post_page_title]
But while cosplaying as unusual characters is one thing, it's another to cosplay as a celestial feature, something which Mira managed to pull off when she channeled the dark space beauty of M87's black hole.

[post_page_title]The Matchmaker (Mulan)[/post_page_title]
When it comes to Disney cosplay, gender aside, most people dress up as one of Disney's many beautiful characters, but not Mira, instead, she once again opted for someone more unusual, pained facial expression and all.

[post_page_title]Magikarp (Pokemon)[/post_page_title]
Ah, Pokemon. It was almost impossible to grow up in the noughties and not go on at least one quest to caption them all. Who'd have thought they'd make for such impressive cosplay?!

[post_page_title]Boulder Spongebob (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
If you hadn't realized already, Mira loves Spongebob, and though some people might have sid this was one character who'd be impossible to cosplay, she's proven that with enough creativity, you can really do anything.

[post_page_title]Him (The Powerpuff Girls)[/post_page_title]
While most Powerpuff Girls fans naturally cosplay as the girls themselves, Mira opted for the show's evil crossdressing lobster, Him. As you do.

[post_page_title]"Goofy Goober" Spongebob (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
Spongebob has a strange existence, and gets into all kinds of trouble - some of which, if we're honest, we're surprised hasn't left him dead. Like this! This takes commitment to your art to a whole new level.

[post_page_title]Enderman (Minecraft)[/post_page_title]
Minecraft is the online, world-building phenomenon where just about anything is possible, but one you're unlikely to have seen now is Minecraft cosplay!

[post_page_title]Exeggutor (Pokemon)[/post_page_title]
The great thing about Mira's unusual cosplays is that they demonstrate that, sometimes, you can nail a more out there look with minimal materials. All she really needed for this one was the perfect hat!

[post_page_title]Tinky Winky (Teletubbies)[/post_page_title]
Short of buying a suit, most of us would agree that dressing up as one of the Teletubbies would be nigh on impossible, but once again, Mira has proved that it can be done.

[post_page_title]Dennis (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
Yes, if you hadn't worked it out already, Mira is a colossal Spongebob fan. Another lesser-known character is Dennis, whose look she also nailed.

[post_page_title]"Goofy Goober" Patrick Star (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
Since Mira dressed up as Goofy Goober Spongebob, it only stood to reason that she'd also dress up as Goofy Goober Patrick Star.

[post_page_title]Dancing Lady Emoji[/post_page_title]
But while we have TV shows and video games aplenty in the modern world, another instantly recognizable thing we have are, of course, emoji, and Mira decided to cosplay as one of the best and most frequently used - the dancing lady!

[post_page_title]Tulio (The Road To El Dorado)[/post_page_title]
One of the most underrated children's movies of all time is The Road To El Dorado, so I can't tell you how impressed I am that Mira cosplayed as Tulio.

[post_page_title]King Julien (Madagascar)[/post_page_title]
Think that humans can't dress up as lemurs? Think again. In fact, rethink everything you know about what does and doesn't make a good (and sexy) cosplay.

[post_page_title]Jorgen Von Strangle (The Fairly Oddparents)[/post_page_title]
Unfortunately, because Mira is a very attractive woman, she's come under fire for making some cosplays too "sexy", but for this one, she explained that she simply had no choice.

[post_page_title]Lord Farquaad (Shrek)[/post_page_title]
Mira admitted that she wasn't happy with her first Lord Farquaad cosplay, so it only stood to reason that she'd recreate his look again. One thing's for sure - this is definitely a lot more regal than the first look.

[post_page_title]Creeper (Minecraft)[/post_page_title]
The great thing about cosplay is that it gives people a chance to showcase their interests in a creative way. Needless to say, Mira loves Minecraft and wasn't content with just cosplaying it once!

[post_page_title]Spongebob (Spongebob Squarepants)[/post_page_title]
Anyne who watches Spongebob knows that he works at the Krusty Crab and is an expert at making crabbie patties, as for salads? Not so much.

[post_page_title]Enoshima Junko + Jack Sparrow (Pirates Of The Caribbean)[/post_page_title]
The vast majority of Pirates of the Carribean fans will probaby agree that Jack Sparrow is sexy in his own way, but about this combination of him and Enoshima Junko?

[post_page_title]Doctor Eggman (Sonic The Hedgehog)[/post_page_title]
There are some characters who're never going to be sexy, which is why this cosplay is so incredibly confusing. A killer pair of legs with that moustache?! I don't know what to think.

[post_page_title]Saitama (One-Punch Man)[/post_page_title]
This is definitely one of Mira's most impressive cosplays. When you've got a full head of hair, cosplaying as someone without any takes some serious skill.

[post_page_title]Donald Trump Playing Tennis[/post_page_title]
No, this isn't fake news. Mira did cosplay as the president playing tennis, and once again, I don't know what to think. I mean, she got the outfit down to a tee. But her body shape is just so different from the president's that it's hard to believe that even in the world of cosplay he can be sexy.

[post_page_title]Waluigi (Mario)[/post_page_title]
Understandably, Mira's cosplays have caused a sensation Instagram where she posts the under the name "beebinch" and she's amassed an impressive 129K followers.

[post_page_title]Dancing Rabbits Emoji[/post_page_title]
Because Mira's dancing lady emoji cosplay was so brilliant, it only seemed right to end this list with another - the dancing rabbits emojji.

Nailed it. Although a few of the cosplayer's fans did suggest that this look could have been even better if she'd worn a blonde wig, and I have to agree.
