Our Cosplay queen is featured local website Spot.ph.
Here is a snippet of her article:
Self-proclaimed geek, recent college graduate and Philippine Cosplay “princess” Alodia Gosiengfiao is known for her chameleon good looks. This self-styled transformer dons boots and bazookas as readily as she does elfin ears and faerie sandals, with wigs at the ready.
“Cosplay,” Gosiengfiao says, “is a combination of two words: ‘Costume’ and ‘roleplay.’” A cosplayer assumes the role of a character from an “animé show, a video game, manga, comic series, or movies,” complete with costumes, prosthetics, make-up and accessories. Cosplayers not only have to look like characters, they have to act like, sound like and essentially be the characters they portray down to the last giggle. Cosplay has been elevated into an art form and subculture in countries like Japan, the US and Europe, while in the Philippines, the popularity of cosplay has spiked in the last few years.
