What makes not a Cosplay event would proberly be the last weekend one, (Thats proberly counted as a fashion show for publicity stunt by the shopping mall and its partners),
the condem man one, thats a get "cosplayers to add color" event, and the WCG one, thats mascoting...
speaking of which, wei, Koga, machiam SCC like got fooled again lei, by any chance the event organiser for the Condem man didn't say anything about the Safe Sex campaign.
Side tracking, mascoting is a good thing, a win win for both cosplay advertising and the business hiring the cosplayers. But for crying out loud don't spoil the market please PLEASE!
The MINIMUM rate for mascoting in SINGAPORE is $30 an hour for normal costumes like Sakura from CCS, and $50 an hour for mascots like the Panda, Kon, and the Gundams.
Since this is Singapore, we can't expect every business to dish out as much as overseas which are double the rates, but its not the $8 under table under table deals. Please don't go around like the WCG lady and spoil the market, thinking "what do the cosplayers know, they are just kids, lets exploit them".
