Costripping at the World Cyber Games 2007 Philippine Finals

My sister, Jennivy, wanted to know how it feels like to participate in a cosplay and wanted my 3-year-old nephew Zyj to experience it. So I dared her to join the cosplay competition by Animax for the Philippine leg of the 2007 World Cyber Games. She accepted and even wanted my nephew to join. She dared me back that I couldn't do it. I accepted and we all ended up up participating.
She concewived that we join as characters in the same show. She decided to cosplay characters from Detective Conan since it the character of Shinichi will be perfect for my nephew. She dressed up as Ran Mouri, the love interest of Shinichi while I became Inspector Megure.

Below are pictures we got from the event:





Although tiring, it was fun especially for my nephew who was really a crowd favorite. He looked really cute! We got intervied on stage and by a GMA 7 news crew though we don't know if it ever get to the boob tube. My sister loved the experience and wanted to join the next cosplay. For me, I think I'll think about it. It's hard to find characters with my heavy body build.
