After so long I'm finally back! I hated spending so much time away from you but unfortunately I had no choice. But I'm happy that I am here again!
It all started when I took a temporary job in São Paulo (I live in Belo Horizonte) at the most famous university in Brazil: USP (São Paulo University). Then I had to devote myself during all my vacations to this work so I stayed away from Internet.
Soon after, I return to my city with an important news: Brazil would have another round of the World Cosplay Summit, the largest in the world championship of cosplay. Anyone who knows me knows that I participate in the final in Brazil since its 1st edition (this is the 5th), I would probably not want to sit out this year.
This is the way the WCS works in Brazil: Every region in Brazil has a competition of pairs of cosplayers. They go to the stage and the judges choose the best pair to go the finals in Brazil - Sao Paulo. In the final competition, the judges choose the best couple, who will represent our country in the international final which takes place every year in Japan. Brazil is two-time champion!
The problem begins here: The announcement of the WCS in my town was with just 1 month to occur. Me and my pair, Gabriela, we would have only a month to assemble 2 costumes and a skit with up to 3 minutes, with special effects, great acting and things flashy and creative. Ask me if we accepted the challenge? Absolutely!
We began to make the costumes of Odin Sphere, I would be Odette and she would be Velvet.
This is Odette
The costume of Odette is VERY complicated and I needed much help to finalize it. I had to stay wake up in May, lose weight, learn to make complex makeup, styling wigs against gravity and still move well on stage. We had every kind of problem with this costume and 3 weeks before WCS I fell on the street and sprained my right hand. I had to immobilize it. This injury delayed the process and we stayed wake up for many nights.
But after all the problems finally our cosplay was ready!!!.
On the WCS day (this past weekend), we would do a live skit, but the headset failed. We tried to find the CD with our speech and audio recorded but it did not work. We showed our power and talked live, loud, without a microphone.
I left the stage very sad, crying a lot because the skit had gone wrong. But after much stress, we won the competition!!
I'm so happy that I can hardly describe. I will represent my state in Brazil in the final - at July 18 - and who knows, represent my country in Japan!
That was the real reason for my disappearance.
If someone wants to ask questions about my cosplay, be my guest, I will be happy to aswer your concerns.
***Not only that, I used my NiGHTS cosplay again, now with a traditional - individually skit. Won first place with it!
Well, all that to say that I'm back!
