What is Cosplay?
Cosplay- short for "Costume Play", is basically describing a performing art behavior of self-rigging out as a character with corresponding costume, accessories and/or parameters..
In society, interactions of "cosplay" behaviour form a subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu, video games, and less commonly, fantasy movies, Japanese pop music bands, Visual Kei, fantasy music stories, novels, and anything in the real world being unique and dramatic (or their more anthropomorphic form). In some circles "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume, without considering the mind of an actor and the common form of "cosplay" in a major "cosplay" culture.

Omg, i really can't believe i actually did it.. In a span of 2 weeks since i joined sgcafe.com at Shengyi's request, i got all my stuff together and went down in cosplay to downtown east's Cosfest VII event.. =X total i spent on the stuff would be about..
$50 pants
$30 brown Long sleeved shirt
$10 blue T-shirt
$25 Goggles
$20 Spear-creation
(+$35 for wasted material =.=)
$135+.. for something that i intended to be cheap and easy to do =X
Well, i guess i shld be happy that i actually got it done in time.. And as a result of that, i met alot of new & interesting ppl.. As well as a new experience.. Haha, The 1st thing that made my day was when i was running to find Adel on the 1st day, and this girl was shouting "Cid~!! Cid Highwind~!!" at me.. and asking me to pose to take a picture xD haha.. at least i was recognised.. I was half-worried such a simple costume might get overlooked by other ppl..
But that was only the start, soon as we gathered the rest of our Final Fantasy Group, and snatching certain characters from here and there.. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to say, there were cameras on us all the time =P we even started counting down, just to syncronise when to stop staying in a certain pose.. lol..
Anyways, just a couple of pictures of the FF team members i met that day =P
Gunner Yuna, Cid Highwind, Gunner Rikku, Zack
Squall & Rinoa
Kadaj & Yazoo
Reno
Seifer and Yazoo =P
There were even ppl we stole to take pics with us during the event =P but well, i'd have to find some nice pics of them 1st.. if any kind soul out there happens to have them.. Please send me a link! Thank you xD
Was truly a memorable day.. a Big thanks to Adelyn, Jovi & Biying for dropping by to lend me your support =P
gosh, now my mind is racing to plan what to do for the next cosplay event.. it might soon turn out to be COSTplay for me xDD
