007. "feed the hunger"

Cosplay Artist: Penny Logos
Cosplay Piece: No-face of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away
Convention: Anime NebrasKon 2013

What Drew Penny In:

Penny wore the taller-than-life cosplay that her friend made based on a group idea to be Studio Ghibli characters at Nebraskon 2013. They just finished Sogen Con, so stricken with “post-con depression” they jumped into NebKon to meet up with friends to feed the hunger. Her love for the big blob was his transition from being a raging monster to his doting and docile self at the end, “from a glutinous monster to just sitting cutely at Granny’s house knitting." Penny also remarked, “It is easy to really see other fans’ love for the character [cosplay].” This love was most fantastically displayed by one particular con-goer when Penny, who was suppose to run the Ghibli Photoshoot, actually got lost in the dealers room due to the limited vision the mask provides. Fatefully, it was then that a Chihiro cosplayer found her and proceeded to lead her by the hand out to the Zen Garden. As in the film, No-face found his place in the end through Chihiro. Penny must have also felt even more at home at the convention through the reaching out of a fellow-fan.

What Drew Me In:

Being a big fan of Studio Ghibli myself, I noticed Penny with a bigger group of Studio Ghibli cosplayers. After the interview I realize now that I must have spotted her right after her “encounter” with the Chihiro to the Studio Ghibli photoshoot! The height of her cosplay intrigued me as well, she was standing right next to the streetlight/bridge area, and a portrait that I had to take popped right into my mind. It was a fun surprise, and a bit of feeding my own fandom as well!
