Celina, based in Melbourne Australia is an aspiring artist. With a passion for expressing herself through makeup, beauty, fashion, cosplay & photography, she believes in living life as creatively as possible.
It happened again and I couldn’t believe how lucky and fortunate I was! This time I felt so much more prepared as I had a costume I truly felt proud of to show off 
(I was Xiao Qiao from Dynasty Warriors 6) I was recently interviewed and did a photo shoot for a small article on cosplay for The Summer Age (a Melbourne newspaper). After the interview I did for The Age last time, I didn’t think an opportunity like this would come around again so I was absolutely thrilled when it did.
My article was finally published last Saturday and I wanted to share some scans with my readers, especially those who don’t live in Melbourne and were keen to read the article. Be warned, they misspelt my name 
Which seems to happen a lot! Always Celine, not Celina~
Click the image above for a much larger version that should be readable
I even got them to mention Fables in the article 
Which I’m extremely happy about since I’ve found it is pretty hard to get any sort of blog publicity in print (even if it’s only a tiny mention hehe). I will be posting about the behind the scenes shoot for this article next week
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Hannah O'Brien, Elias Lopez, Celina Lee, eXmotion, Celina and others. Celina said: My appearance in The Age this past weekend

Thank you so much! Painting those fans was so so messy XD But I loved every step of it~ I wish I could dye my hair this colour without damaging it!! How I wish I was born with lighter colour hair so I could play with it more, I adore your hair colour!

Sorry for the late reply, congrats. I used love to go to Anime Convention here in the US and see people dressing up and portraying that certain character. I never had a chance or attempt to dress up because I’m just shy. Ha ha my 4 year old can help me fill in the dressing spot and she portray the character so well.
