AFA X - Cosplay | Serah Farron | KANAME☆ posted at 10:37 PM

AFA X (2010) - Cosplay | Serah Farron | KANAME☆

AFA X! i waited for this event for like forever! Because i was itching to cosplay since Cosfest (in June) but couldn't rush my costume in time. (& well, plus Kaname was going to be there! )

I planned to cosplay Serah Farron since March. she's a character who is cute and mature in her own way. SO, this AFA X, i finally did Serah (;

Serah farron from Final Fantasy 13. haix, whenever i see this pic, i will start to think "i need braces!!"

i've been an airhead lately :/ blur sotong if you want to put it. but i prefer how my boyfriend says it "you're the highest grade of blur sotong because it's suppose be nicer". i was like "really?" and he gave me this look -.-

Well, the reason why im saying im a sotong is because i almost forgot AFA X was coming. so the week before AFA X, i rushed all the small details like the wig, the bandage, the bracelet (which is done by miyuki, cos i dont have the time to do it), socks (my mom actually helped me on this) etc. i literally couldn't sleep well because i was worrying if i could rush everything off. which i kinda did. BUT the small details are still not exact. tsk. going to redo it before STGCC/EOY.

The bracelets that i did myself (got the beads from Esther)

styled and cut my wig (:

getting ready in full costume!

calling my team mates :D

(side note: why does STGCC and EOY has to be on the same weekend? it's like literally telling us cosplayers to choose which event to go!)

i did with my FF13 group this time and met the REDMOON group (famous for their naruto cosplays) - who had some members cos-ing characters from FF13 this time. i can't wait to do the photoshoot with them next year.

the first picture of the day!

in group poses!

this is me crossing over to FF13 VERSUS to get noctis sword and kill snow for being an idiot.

i had fun cosplaying with them (; and i think our SG cosplay standard is getting better yeah? :D what do you think? *points to pictures below*

tired after a full day of walking around in high heels/boots

pretty manjie as miku. btw, if you're reading this, let's cosplay together some time!

but... my objective to go AFA X was to see Kaname! He's a celebrity cosplayer from Japan. lol, i dont care if he's old (can you tell how old he actually is? you'll be shocked!) as long he's delicated to his cosplay, i respect him! (; BUT I DIDNT GET TO SEE HIM AT ALL (T.T) why? he was inside the hall for a big amount of time. & too many fans around him. haix :(

and i cant believe that i actually saw him last year and i wasnt like gaga over his cosplay... i wasnt even a fan, didnt even know his cosplays then. i only saw him on stage and i was like "wow, not bad. nice costume" and then i walked away to the other booths in the hall. *slaps foreheads* haix, it's only this year when i started to know more about him from my friends and saw his delication to cosplay (and man, he's like extreme lah! he'll actually diet a female diet to do a feminine character-to lose his muscles & get nicer curves) then i decided that i liked his cosplay. and he's good at it!

Kaname as benten from zone 00. Super pretty right? even though this is a feminine GUY character.

this is Kaname and Aira (also from Japan). i prefer her to cosplay sheryl though!

Kaname and Aira are both judges at this yr's AFA.

Kaname is showing the guys what they shouldn't do when cosplaying. But well, he's still looks cute.

Kaname at the meet&greet session with fans. *slaps forehead harder* i cant believe i didn't know that there was this section in the itinerary!

Kaname and aira at the Maid's cafe inside the hall. surprisingly there is a butler cafe as well. and the queue was like super long!

aira-chan~

Im super envious that miyake and yoshimi got to take pic and go out with Kaname! haha, wonder if they know how to speak japanese to him though? (sorry, not really a fan of miyake and yoshimi - only got to know their blog because i was google-ing "kaname, AFA X" haha.

kaname and yoshimi! wa... ii na~

Kaname and miyake! クールな超かわいい ~

okay this pic is the best, hands down (·ώ·)

BTW, here's Kaname profile page and blog (japanese)

Before i leave, just want to share this other japanese celebrity cosplayer.

He looks as though he's jsut walked out of an Final fantasy game.

But even with all this beautiful cosplays, i still love being myself (;
