South African scoops Global Cosplay title


Cosplayer JinxKittie did South Africa proud this past weekend by taking first place at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2)  in Chicago.

The event is essentially the World Cup of Cosplay, and if some of you are wondering what Cosplay is, it is essentially the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game.

JinxKittie was judged alongside national champions from countries such as UK, USA, Austria, Australia, Singapore, India and Indonesia. In addition to the prestigious title, JinxKittie walked away with a prize purse of R77 000.

And this is what won her the award : Her Blood Priestess Bathory based on an original character design by Cinderys Art and Cosplay.

Congratulations JinxKittie.
