Cosfest 2009 [ver.shiro]

01Setsuna & Sara (Angel Sanctuary)

One of the biggest local cosplay event is back again, Cosfest 2009, held at Downtown East. Where every cosplayers slog hard, burned weekends, and lose their sleep to finish their costume(s) to prepare for this event.
For me, it’s my 6th year to this event, and still my favorite local cosplay event, one of the reasons being it’s near my house natural outdoor lighting is just seconds away from the air-con dome.

I will be spliting the photos into categories, like what nutcase23 has done.
Those with just 1-2 photos will be group under Misc, the rest will be under their respective series/grouping.
