@Static: I can't open the spoiler tag! ;A:

Static wrote:: The headline was stupid, and I am so confused as to why they picked the photos they did...i sent through the ones of Victorian Couture and the girl genius when they said they wanted a couple more. I also sent through ones of Diana and Tails, but they didn't use them...sadface. And the small pic on page 2 is mine as well - this is the second time it's been printed and not physics credited!!

Spoilers aren't working. //removes tags.

Pffffft Duckeh ilu. I just took the spoilertags out of my post, I'll put them back when they're not being RETARDED.

The front image makes no sense. It does not relate to the article.

I stand by my thoughts:
"Cosplay should not be written about by people who don't cosplay."

I'm loving Gemma's quote though - speaks volumes, lmao!

I'm not sure if this counts, but -

Spoiler:

Sorry for the crap/blurry picture xDDD Basically it talks about Auckgeddon and stuff there, though cosplayers are mentioned fairly frequently throughout it xD

I kept that article! It's on my bookshelf and is gonna be stuck in my journal ^^

By Rolly. 31/08/10, 02:20 pm

Could someone link me to that article Cacti posted of it is online, or scan it on so we can read it? xD;;;

Which paper is it from?

By Le_Saboteur. 01/09/10, 05:43 am

^ It's from The NZ Herald! I can't seem to find it online, though D;

By neimhaille. 01/09/10, 01:54 pm

lol! I wondered if they'd ever use that ;) That's myself and Hayley from Auckland 2008 (Hayley was a member here and might be one again, she's with the 501st and Rebel Legion).

And my wig of doom. That's 4 40" long wigs rewefted into one. No other way to get enough hair for the dreds... http://articles.glittersweet.com/howto/recreations/bigwig.htm

A requoted article

And I found one here:
http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/viewer.aspx
New Zealand, The New Zealand Herald, August 31, B12-13

Ok, I now have my copy nice and safe, first newspaper brought home in a while and it happens to be this one ;)

This was in the western suburbs version of The Aucklander on the Thursday before Armageddon :) The Central version was the same story but with only the larger photo. It's also online:

So glad the main photo was of Samara :) So proud of her :) Oh that funny bundle of rubbery things in the top? Those are my Leia molds :) Yep, properly made.. not papier mache as I was asked several times... Girls can't use resin wot!?

Some of you may remember Charlotte from Christchurch Armageddon :) She was doing cosplayer interviews then :)

Not quite as exciting, but our Teen Titans group are (briefly) in the latest Armageddon Wellington ad!

Spoiler:

@neimhaille- your Samara cosplay is one of the wall pictures on the Mass Effect 2 Facebook site! Very Happy

Published in the Wellingtonian today, and on stuff: http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/local-papers/the-wellingtonian/4854162/The-secret-world-of-cosplayers

...I would like to note that I was mis-quoted. I did not say 50 entries. > Neutral

By Mischa. 07/04/11, 04:59 am

"You could cosplay House."..ha ha

I'm not sure I came across my most articulate in that interview!

What did you say?
50 people was about right for last year, wasn't it?
