Cosplay and cosplayers

Cosplay is a highly professional part-time job. but those involved in it won't earn any money, yet need to invest large amount of money in making or buying costumes and accessories, unless you participate in a cosplay competition and win it. or, in some rare cases, your cosplay is so successful that by popular demand you hold a musical theatre for the anime/game you cosplayed and profit from selling tickets.

Introducing one of the cosplayers and the cosplay character that I LOVE: Papercut and Cloud Strife (/≧▽≦)/

I come across with her cosplay while browsing Deviantart. Her profile link HERE.

She is from England definitely my favourite UK cosplayer :)

I love her as a person personally. From her writings and her way of cracking jokes and even captioning her photos you know she's a humorous person^^

Obviously at her home, LOL. Her mum took pichas for her, how cool is that huh^^

She actually has facial features that is very suitable to cosplay any character.

At an Expo. This is her amateur cosplay experience! Now she's a professional one, ahaks! I'm glad I can follow her journey this long^^ (for nearly half year if not mistaken)

Emo-ing^^

This is her first first first ever cosplay appearance!

If you notice, the only thing she cannot copy from Cloud is the muscular arms XD

This is her cosplay photo that attracted my attention to her.

Her cosplay as Crisis Core's Cloud Strife.

Cloud Strife is the love of my life but I resent the fact that I am now a grown up with social responsibilities that prohibit me from indulging in my favourite passion, including gaming. My bro has the Crisis Core on his PSP and I don't have time to play it! ARRRGGHHHHH

Good thing about the "West" is that they don't mind girls kissing girls mouth-to-mouth. And this is perfect for cosplay events where most of the female cosplayers who cosplay male characters can kiss the female cosplayers who cosplay the male's counterpart's female characters!

Her another cosplay character which i also like. Papercut has a face suitable for Final Fantasy's characters! Jealous!

Very funny cameo by her and her best friend, cosplaying Kingdom Hearts' Roxas and Axel.

Burning hot Axel

This is the picha that got her some troubles in Deviantart that draws insulting and aggressive comments like her playing porn etc. But Seriously I don't see any problem with it, it's awesome and funny! Because of the "Got it memorized?" painting on her red pant which is done by herself!

Btw it's just a joke she played with her girl friend while dressing up, not like she's going to do that out in the public, LOL.

OK, Internet is public, so what? Bleh :p

I heart Chocobo! I want a Chocobo plushie~

I know I'm heading to late twenties but so what?

I want!

Her Crisis Core cosplay with her ex-boyfriend who cosplay Zack. Lovely!

Yaoi love!!!!!!!!!!! This is very popular among anime and cosplay fanatics because of the increasing support towards gay love. I have to say some are sick like the Son Goku and Bezita Yaoi (Geli!). You can imagine how the crowd soaring when they kissed! This is also an advantage or a not-so geli version of Yaoi performance when the pair is couple^^

Too bad this lovely couple split and her ex is now more into rockband and cosplay (they are still friends so she linked him in her profile still)

You can find some Yaoi cosplay kiss in youtube, I think the Naruto and Sasuke-Yaoi kiss is somewhat geli... er, may be not, heh XD

A funny scene at Expo when the Sephiroth came out and approve of the Yaoi relationship XD

For people who don't know Cloud is cosplayed by PapercutPerfect who is a girl, they lauded "you are so brave!". but nah, there is nothing to be shy with your boyfriend especially with a photographer at the scene and wearing bandages over your body XD

You see, Cloud cannot be cosplayed by Macho males XD Only androgyn and feminine male can do him justice XD

But this fella here got some muscle on his arms, so... pass lah, LOL

BTW, I'd love to beg Asians, i mean, yeah Asians, don't cosplay characters who are very caucasians!

And also to caucasions, don't cosplay very Asian characters!!!!

For the sake of characters' image LOL

Imagine: all costumes are hand made and hand-tailored.... Σ(￣□￣")

Will show some of her non-Cloud Strife cosplay! She's awesome^^

*Ssssshhhhhhhhhh.... I think she is a good male character cosplayer partly because on top of her pretty face, she is............. a flat chest XD* (So do I! LOL)

Her website: http://papercutperfect.webs.com/

It changed a lot since my last visit^^

My next post on cosplay would be very long (!) introducing the cosplay couple I heart the most, and the quality of their cosplay is awesome awesome that make me teared (丌^丌)

But gotta wait until September like that, LOL

*Scheduled post*
