Lately I have been feeling
particularly proud of South African cosplay. Our cosplay community is still relatively
small at this stage but full of talent.
I was properly introduced to
cosplay by a good friend of mine, Felicia Verschuur (aka Lulu) several years
ago at rAge, so I have her to thank that I am a part of this community at all. I
didn’t cosplay that year, but I remember how awesome it was seeing quite a few
people dressed in costume.
Since then, cosplaying has
become a major part of my life. I admire so many of our cosplayers and the
dedication and skills that they have. At every cosplay event that I attend,
there are amazing costumes.
With this year’s rAge coming
up soon I'm feeling really excited as this is our biggest event, and a lot of
the cosplayers from other cities come up here to attend it. I look forward to
seeing everyone and all the great costumes!
So I just wanted to say again
that this is something I'm proud to be a part of and that I admire every one of
you! We all rock and I hope that the South African cosplay community will
become even more positive as we grow. <3
Yay! I am cosplaying the first time ever this year. I thought that I am getting to old so why not give it a try since I always wanted to do it.
