After many months of being a most passive participant of the local cosplay scene, yesterday I took that first step by buying myself yards and yards of cloth at Kamdar.
     I had been planning to make my comeback for some time, at this year's Comic Fiesta - an event I had always stayed away from in previous years due to reasons even unknown to me - and what better way to do it now that I have a stash of money in the bank thanks to all the overtime payments accumulated on the job?
     I've been obsessing about going as a male character or a female villain since the past two years, and by golly, I think we have a winner - hint: All bling. Besides that piece of info, it's all a secret. It's going to be a character nobody here has cosplayed before - everyone's into cosplaying characters from the latest anime nowadays but it's a classic anime, and I think people will be able to recognise my character most definitely.
     What about Chun Li and Rei Ayanami? I'd still like to do them but only if I can find a pair of wrestler's boots and white PVC cloth. I'm also considering redoing my Sailor Mars costume because the old one looks a bit strange on me - I'd gained a bit of weight obviously. And of course, the slinky Card Girl cosplay will be back by popular demand.
     So anyway, this time I'll be there at Comic Fiesta - and that's a promise.
     In the meantime, you can read up a cosplay article published by The Star R.Age recently. It's about cosplay - and there's a bit of an interview with yours truly. It's a nice feeling being the one to be interviewed for a change.
