Cosplay Ground

Cosplay is short for “Costume play”. It is playing the role by sporting a popular character’s clothes and accessories. I can’t recall how many occasions call for me to dress-up in costume but my most recent attempts were for our office parties. I always welcome cosplays because it is a creative exercise that can test your resourcefulness and imagination.

There’s something about being in character that makes cosplay moments memorable. I always smile whenever I see these photos:

Filipiana Fever with my Breakfast Club
Costume costs me an arm and a leg when I needed it for just 1 event, that’s why from then on I try to invent occasions to use it.

 

Dora The Explorer
In a hurry to find a cartoon character costume. I thought it was pure genius to be Dora because all I have to do is wear a pink shirt and tangerine pants. I threw the wig and Bootz stuffed toy in for added effect.

 

 Santa Clown
I invented this character, while thinking of a unique way to greet our colleagues last Christmas.

 

Rocker
I just thought of anything black and remembered banging my head and sticking my tongue out a lot to play the role. Totally awkward for me!

 

70’s
Someone brought an extra big hair. The hair worked its magic and put me back in the 70’s.

 

Granny Addams
I was 1/6 of the Addams family in this photo. We were following this song “They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky. They're all together ooky, the Addams Family. (snap, snap).”
