A couple of weekends ago I did something I almost never do. I entered a cosplay competition. Say what? Yeah~!
I’ve been cosplaying for almost 10 years now (2012 will be my 10th year) and the first competition I ever entered was earlier this year as a big Disney Princess musical group. Yep, I suffer from terrible stage fright so I avoided the stage like the plague. However I’ve judged my fair sure of competitions and attended many as support for my friends.
However one day I get contacted by my dear friend Asham about entering with her, I couldn’t see a down side given I already had the costume so I entered. And bam! We won best group :O
I have to admit I was pretty stoked 🙂 It’s a great feeling, and the prize money was just icing on an already sweet cake :9
Asham is an amazing cosplayer who is no stranger to the stage, she’d actually been one of the finalist in the WCS held in Japan annually. You should definitely check her out, one of Australia’s finest cosplayers and I’m honoured to have shared the stage with her 🙂
I can’t tell you how motivated I am to work on some future costumes I have in the making. I am tempted to try and film the creation process, similar to how I film my Book of Fables makeup tutorials! Though it will be on hell of a video hehe.
Be sure to keep an eye out on the channel, I’ll be uploading a video of Asham and myself role playing (kinda) our characters 😀

Congratulations! Your costumes look amazing 🙂
Thank you!! There was a lot of blood / sweat and tears that went into the costume so I’m really glad I was able to show case it the way I did 🙂
WAH! Congratulations!! Dynasty Warriors Oooohhh!!! =D
Thank you!! I can’t wait to do more DW cosplays 😀
Ahhh, Chia cosplayed as well? She’s so cute :3 Asham (and youuuuu) look fantastic, I’m so in awe of DW cosplays and all the intricate fabrics *petpet*
Yar! She was my Da Qiao *_* Soooo adorable! I loved her <3 Asham ish so manly rar!
Congrats!
And…is Asham a guy or a girl?? I am so confused…in photos, the guy looks like a guy…but your words say she is a she…and Asham is a unisexual name…Im very confused…or you can call me stupid 😛
Thanks love!
Asham is a girl, but her specialty is crossplaying, so for as long as I’ve known her she always cosplays men 😀 And based on your comment, successfully too! Asham would be happy to hear 😀 Asham makes a pretty hot guy imo XD
Aw wowowowowow! Congratulations!
I love your cosplay character! The fans are gorgeous! Looks heavy though!!!
Thank you! The fans were actually really light! The tough part about them is how they keep catching the wind XD;
Congratulations! Your costumes are awesome!
Thank you so much gio!! <3 🙂
Congratsss Celinaaa !
I understand how scary those stage are D: I don’t think I could ever enter a competition ..not that I could actually make my own outfit though xD aha <3
Thanks Melody! Yep! I was totally shaking whilst on stage, so glad i has Asham up there with me else I would never consider doing it alone!
I think you could totally make your own costume if you wanted too 🙂
EEEE!!!
Awesome! I used to cosplay in my early-mid teens, but I as I got older (and gained weight =w=) I kind of felt like I couldn’t do it any more? It’s so nice to see someone else cosplaying though! duhrr. And here I was wondering why that picture of you on the left hand column looked like amy mizuno from sailor moon. 8D
Really?? You cosplayed? 😀 Dude, I would love to see photos if you ever had any online 🙂 I bet you were amazing!!
wow! congrats! i wish i had discovered cosplay. it seems like a fun thing to do! i’m too old and don’t have the time to do that now 🙁
Thank you! Girl, you are NEVER too old, ever! However with your lovely family AND work, I can see how you would be constantly short on time not to mention sleeep!
Awww, it was an honour to see you:) And I’m glad you have been able to cosplay with Asham as well 🙂 I hope to see you again next year 🙂
It was so lovely to meet you btw, Asham kept going on and on about how talented and what amazing judges you were 😀 So I felt especially honoured to win! 🙂
celina! who’s that Sun Quan?! he’s so perfect and you too..,b…but your bangs is not similar like Xiao Qiao…
I’m from japanese…,thanks for your make up’s video again,…
