This photo was taken when we weren't done with our costumes yet. We had to add wires, lighting and glitters. I haven't styled and airbrushed my 2nd longer wig yet for this shoot.
The full and completed costume can be viewed in our AFA09 skit/performance found here!

<sub>Just to clear things up :

We weren't disqualified. Unlike WCS, AFA did not state in its rules that only the competitors should be the ones to fully make the costume. Anyway, we still worked on our costumes and props a lot. Yes we had help but a large part of our time and effort were also poured into doing details, designs, practicing the skit, wig, make-up, cleaning up and polishing the costumes, and crafting of the tank, etc. I even fell ill working so much for this competition just a few days before our flight. (flu, fever, anemia, colds, sore throat)

As for the skit, Ashley *orangeish was moving the tank.

Why WitchBlade? It is one of my favorite anime series because it shows that girls can kick-a** too! Sorry for sounding too feminist. ^^v

I love cats! Lol! Huh?! XD</sub>
