Oh my gosh, I had no time to respond to the aftermath of NYCC 2014. It was so amazing and great. I had a three-day ticket and I came from Baltimore on Friday Morning. Tired but excited, I met up with some friends and made my way through the convention. So many wonderful cosplayers and they were really patient with all the cameras pointed at them. I bought a pair of adorable cat ears with bells, I couldn’t help myself. I met with one of my friends who was cosplaying as Harley Quinn, her name is Amy and her cosplay name is Steamedeggs. After seeing everyone’s costumes, I was so excited to wear my Loki costume for both Saturday and Sunday.
Fast forwarding to Saturday morning, it took me two hours to get my make-up on because I had no idea what I wanted. Those fake lashes made me look like an anime character but when I dressed in my costume, I felt so ready to take on the world. Many photos were taken and I was feeling proud of my handwork because it was my first real cosplay and I made everything from scratch. Many people were polite and told me that my costume was amazing. I said my thanks and smiled. The whole day I was spending time with friends from high school and they were so surprised and proud of my costume. It made me realize that Comic-con is a place where you meet new and old people. You bond over comics and the subculture we live in.
But the end of the three days, I wish NYCC never end. I had the most unbelievable experience and I am so happy that I am in the cosplaying culture. Thank you for being so supportive and I hope to continue the work that I am making.
Lots of Love,
Marcy Lee
