Have you acted in cosplay costume?
Posted By admin on November 17, 2009
Cosplay is short for “costume play” or in other words dressing up with an opportunity for role play. This year they had a Cosplay competition with a steampunk theme. Steampunk? What the hec is that?
Melbourne’s Nicole Collis, 21, has just finished a digital arts course at RMIT, but her life has been “full-time costume pandemonium” since then. The competition’s runner-up is widely known as Siera, her pen-name on internet forums, and she portrayed Rue from Princess Tutu, a manga with a similar story to Swan Lake.
“I love the performance, being in character, it’s a unique and creative way to express yourself,” she said, twirling in her pink and burgundy ball gown.
Her parents and friends were not particularly surprised by her hobby, she said. “They think I’m a bit more than just crazy.”
