Ciel Circus Version! Finally decided to get his costume!

Some background knowledge: Ciel is the one who inspired me to take up cosplaying. Me and deardear (liyin) started chatting about cosplay (randomly) last year march during choir! xD At first it was just pretty much crapping because i never thought its possible to actually venture into the cosplay world. But that little conversation brought me here to where i am. (Not very far, but at least i started!) Was still sms-ing deardear after choir and we narrowed down to the characters we wanted to cosplay. She chose Lenalee from D.Gray and i settled on Ciel from Kuroshitsuji. I've always wanted to try crossdressing so... Plus, ciel is so cute! Another choice was Yuuki because i'm in love with Vampire Knight too. Okay around June, i stumbled upon taobao and i was totally elated when i realised i could order costumes from there. Saw Yuuki costume and decided to get it as my first cosplay because mainly, i could use my real hair if i'm cosplaying as her. For ciel, i would need to buy a wig. My costume arrived around July. This may seem dumb but i bought other costume too (I haven't started cosplaying yet!)
Anyway, list of costumes that i currently own:
-Shakugan no Shana (Winter Seifuku)
-Shakugan no Shana (Summer Seifuku)
-Vampire Knight (Day Class Girl Uni)
-Vampire Knight (Night Class Guy Uni)
-Jigoku Shoujo (Seifuku)

My first event was EOY 2009. Cosplayed as Yuuki Kuran while deardear went as Yoshida from Shakugan no Shana. It was kinda fun as we saw alot of nice cosplayers but there are some who failed a little. Here's the interesting part: i took a picture with kaname (Mi-ke nii) on EOY! And that's way before i knew him. Kinda interesting how fate can tie people who totally don't know each other together huh. So i came home from EOY feeling totally refreshed and determined to join a group. Well, i saw groups on that day and it seemed so much fun!

Sourced SGcafe and i happened to pop in some random threads that's talking about views on cosplay. I submitted a post there and coincidently, Deidre was there too. She introduced me to my current VK group and i joined the group! Deidre came by my house the following thursday (after EOY) to help me with spraying the rods. Next event was the walkshoot on 17jan. Deardear went with me. That's where i get to know Mi-ke nii, KaiXiang, Vivian and Amber. 17 January 2010 really is one of the best days ever! Had so much fun that day. But reached home quite late (around 11pm+) and mama told me that next time, if going out on Sunday must come home before 10pm. Hope all photoshoots in the future will be held on saturday instead! ><

Oh and there's SOY too! But sadly, deardear didnt go to this event! Didn't really enjoy this event much because i was being pulled around half the time... Sigh yes, i really was dragged around by Vivian... She's younger than me BUT she's fweaking taller and bigger sized than me so you get the message... SOY was basically Deidre and Vivian looking at the merchandise while me and joey chatting. But its during SOY where i get an experience of a princess hold! Sadly, its not a guy D< Deidre tried carrying me using the princess hold and boy, did i yell... She really did lift me up! NEXT, Vivian tried carrying me up too and yes, i screamed again... But she basically just hug me and lift me up. Princess hold require more strength because the whole body is resting on the arms only! So SOY is where i experience my first first princess hold. Hope i'll have more in the future! :D

That basically sum up my short short history as a cosplayer. And okay back to topic. I'm finally realising my dream of cosplaying Ciel! Its because of him that i met mi-ke nii, deidre, kaixiang and all the others. Because of him, i realised that i'm not bounded to school mates. Because of him, i found a new passion. Because of him, i had so much fun. Its because of him, that i'm here today, typing this post. So cosplaying as ciel is a dream come true! But i'm joining Deidre group. Is that supposed to be good or bad? You decide (:
