Oh... finally I am going to blog about the Cosplay Event that Tab, her friend and I attended some time back in July. Keep on forgetting, a sign of old age. So the event was one of the largest in local cosplay scene and we decided to check it out.

While we were there, we saw many cosplayers in action, posing, moving about, even seated together to watch the Individual and Group competition. We went around to look at the art and manga merchandise many local art groups have for sale. Two art groups caught our attention, Deviantart and Zemotion with their gothic and incredibly realistic fantasy art pieces. Done in ink, digital art. Very cool. But by the time we partronized the stalls, certain hot pieces were snatched up. It was highly affordable for around 6-8 bucks. So if you are keen, check with them for their next set-up and buy from them. Cos if u go through the websites, prices are quoted in US dollars.

Soon we settled ourselves down to watch the competition by the various groups. And we kept looking around, cos everytime we do that, we saw new cosplayers that we havent noticed earlier. Later while we were at the other row of stalls, I noticed something. It is unmistakable! A Predator! It is walking through the centre of the audience and few had noticed it. I pointed it to Tab excitedly ( am a fanatic rabid fan of Aliens and Predators) and off she ran to get shots of it. Some noticed the commotion and turned around to look. Once they saw the Predator, many grabbed their digital cameras and ran towards it, even the cosplayers themselves. Then we tried to move closer to get a look but it was surrounded wherever it went. Finally after twenty minutes we got a closer look. Definitely a suit ordered off the Net. But its way too cool! I also want one and an alien suit too! By then some foreign cosplayers had turned up, Freddie Kruger, Fantasitic Four and a fully suited Batman.

After the competition concluded, we went to Burger King to eat something and rest the tired legs (effect of old age) and there were some cosplayers in there too. I took a glance and noticed that a particular cosplayer was spotting long hair, revealing midriffs. At first I thought it was a female cosplayer cos the character is so obviously female. BUT I took a second look and saw that it's a He! Oh well... Ordered my burger and later gaveTab a knowing look and asked her if she noticed that guy. On the whole it was an eye-opener. Tab was very gungho and psyched up that she wanted to join in next year. Tried to drag me in, I gave her a non-commital reply, Lets see how first.
