Alodia is the Ferdinand Marcos of our time – at least in Philippine cosplay. Obviously, the popularly proclaimed “cosplay goddess” doesn’t have the brains nor acumen like the late dictator, but she’s as endearing as the country’s strongest ruler. Also like Marcos, Alodia started out as everyone’s darling but turned out to be a money-hungry, attention-hoarding monster. And, in the end, Alodia will bring down cosplay the same way former president Marcos took the Philippines to the shitter. How? She does it, slowly but surely, by doing these things:
Misrepresenting Philippine cosplay
When you say Filipino cosplay, you mean Alodia. Is that such a bad thing? Considering Alodia knows jack shit about cosplay, or at least she never practices what she preaches whenever she’d appear in an interview as a cosplay guru who moves like a squirming dick and does the same poses over and over again, you tell me.
All style, no substance is becoming the mantra of local Philippine cosplay and the face it’s showing to other countries. Filipino cosplayers that turn heads are those who aren’t shy to shed skin – the very kind you’ll see on cosplay porn sites, minus the actual showing of private parts. Aside from the tits and pussy variety, the other kind of crowd favorite is the huge cardboard box cosplay. These hulking mechs showcase how crafty Filipino cosplayers can be, but alas, the fap boys don’t get turned on by robots.
Overpopulating cons
The more the merrier, right? You gotta love how big local cosplay conventions are these days. So big that it has become nearly impossible to enter the convention proper, if you’d even want to do that given the intimidatingly long waiting lines at ticket booths. Thanks to the goddess Alodia, the Philippine cosplay industry is booming. It’s growing at an almost alarming rate.
Or so it seems to the common idiot. The truth is, the blind fucktards Alodia is raking aren’t really good for business. They’re mostly squatters with very little money to actually contribute to cosplay’s growth. Their numbers only add to the chances of female cosplayers getting sexually harassed, as touchy feely dirt bags who only go to cons to see hot chicks put hands on them for a picture. Additionally, the current state of overcrowded cons are already turning off people who may be able to do some good to Filipino cosplay.
Turning Philippine cosplay into a money game
For a very long time, Philippine cosplay’s home-grown darling has been playing the money game. Some say it’s her mother at fault, but don’t you think they talk about this shit at home? Of course she’s part of the money-making schemes. Why wouldn’t she be? Top class whores earn at least a couple thousand dollars a night. If cosplay wasn’t profitable, why would Alodia stay in the scene populated by dirty nerds and attention whoring bitches?
When Alodia is old and used, the legacy she’ll leave on the Philippine cosplay community is the mentality that women can sell their sex appeal for huge profits. Pinoy cosplay will become a whorefest with a wide selection of girls ranging from devirginized 14-year-olds to call center agents with a dream.
Causing much unneeded drama
Alodia has a special kind of Midas touch. Whatever she comes into contact with explodes into a huge pile of miserable, wherein her White Knights cause all sorts of commotions to protect their liege. The so-called cosplay goddess is a drama magnet, and she’s probably proud of it. She herself is a drama queen, often begging for sympathy over her own crimes through her Facebook account. She wants you to know whenever she’s injured but still trying very hard to make you happy, whether through cosplay or her now defunct gag show. She enjoys fucking with you by staging a fake resignation video complete with awful acting and a see-through false dialogue.
On the sides, her fans continue to war against other factions within the Philippine cosplay scene. Say one bad thing about her failings as a human being or her disgusting legion ruining cons for everyone, and you’ll get a legion of virtual angry trolls at your doorstep. You think Jin Joson is the better cosplayer? “Fuck you! eat shit and die!”, says the White Knights.
Scaring away talent
Alodia’s presence and position in the realm of Philippine cosplay is a huge warning sign to self-respecting aspiring cosplayers who may have the right heart and attractive appearance to be the next big thing. With the cosplay scene seemingly nothing more than bonerpalooza, better cosplayers shy away from the limelight and do their own thing in private photoshoots, while potentially good new ones aren’t even sure they should join the bandwagon because it’s a total mess. If this continues, the current talent pool will grow stale and we’ll never go back to the days when one decent cosplayer after another just kept on popping out. If things proceed the way they are now, Philippine cosplay will do nothing but breed sluts and manwhores, all thanks to Alodia.

“…better cosplayers shy away from the limelight and do their own thing in private photoshoots, while potentially good new ones aren’t even sure they should join the bandwagon because it’s a total mess.”
I gotta agree with this one the most. So many cosplayers who are actually good with their craft do not get the recognition that they deserve because they either “go into hiding” or do not want to even attend said events. It’s such a waste. If only the community isn’t as shitty as it is now, maybe there would be actually something to look forward to… Like actual cosplayers who actually COSPLAY and not pose like FHM models. Such a shame.

Then get the hell off your computer , and off this site , and do something socially relevant then.
I know Im doing my part , ARE YOU?
And before you call me ignorant ,
FYI , I know a thing or two about Marcos, He had his political rivals (like Benigno Aquino ) and dissenting journalists ( like Max Soliven , doubt you even know him without googling his name ) jailed during martial law. He was supposedly a guerilla leader during the war (though this is highly disputed) , He was a skilled lawyer before becoming president , He is mostly remembered for all the infrastructure projects he initiated . His dictatorship was backed by the United States , land of democracy . Why would a great democracy like America support his authoritarian , and dictatorial rule you ask? Well duh it was the Cold War ( again I hope you know what the Cold War was w/o googling it~) , and the US was supporting any country and any form of government. Dictatorships included like Marcos’ and Pinochet’s ( know who Pinochet is? No googling~ :D ) Just to stop the spread of Communism , because they feared Communism’s Domino effect .
SO , what im trying to point out is , dont assume we dont know shit , because it might turn out we know MORE than YOU .
And FYI , GT runs this blog so he can do damn well as he pleases.
Its called democracy and free speech . The moment you take away someone’s liberties , its called a dictatorship ~

ur right.
during marcos’ presidency, Philippines was really under control.
The only problem was the people who misunderstood some things and really wanted their own desires to be fulfilled like shit.
the country’s economy and military defenses were also a big match to the other. and also, during his time, sabbah and the spratly islands were considered to be parts of the Philippines’ territory.
==
all because of alodia, people now doesn’t know the real meaning of cosplay, cosplay is not really in to how the person looks like, but what’s more important is that the cosplayer should know HOW TO ACT AS THE CHARACTER. And that alodia doesn’t even know how to act! all she knows are those wink and heart pose. it sucks.

As i’ve told you guys, it doesn’t matter if it was jin joson or aloldia that you idolize. You should cosplay to improve yourself and to express yourself and not to kiss the ground that the’ve walked on to. the only bad thing that ive noticed to filipino cosplayers is that we keep on idolizing a “goddess”, “cosplay king”, cosplay princess etc. If we will only notice we are still servants of these people. We are servants to their fame. Admit it. We want to be a part of them. We want to be famous like them that is why we always go near them or support them. If we can only stand on our feet and improve ourselves and keep ourselves from backstabbing each other and saying bad things behind someone’s back, the cosplay here is the Philippines will be a success. We are a lot more better than Japanese cosplayers in terms of resourcefulness and creativity.

I look forward to this better era of Phil cosplay that you dream of.
But until then I’ll be sticking to Nippon for now, for awesome cosplay . Oh and you cant call me unpatriotic either, since some of my ancestors were part Jap , and that makes me of mixed descent . Cheers mates .

Hindi sanay si alodia sa CRITICISM!!!, kasi daw nasanay siya na tawagin Goddess!!, eh kasi ba naman, ini-spoiled nung mga perverted fans niya..
Kaya pag sumikat lalo yan, at pinag-arte mo sa Soap opera, at na-criticize mo dahil sa Corny na arte niyan, tiyak mag-aalab at sasabog ang mga fans niyan, kasi nga spoiled siya dun…
At kung mangyari yun, tiyak wala ng magiging improvement si alodia sa Showbiz, “Ang mundo na puro Gulo at kontrobersiya!”…
Kung ako sa kanya mag-cosplay nalang isya at iwasan ang showbiz at hosting at acting, kasi malamang umiyak siya in the near future dahil dami ng tao na ki-criticize sa kanya BELIEVE ME!!!!

hmm.. I have mixed feelings about this article.
On misinterpreting cosplay.
Hmm…I wouldn’t go as far as saying she knows “jack shit” about cosplay. She does make some of her props..and she’s also got the make-up down which is important in cosplaying..I think it would be better to say that her knowledge about cosplay is insufficient to earn her the title “Goddess”.
On turning cosplay into a money game.
To be honest, I don’t see anything wrong about being paid to do what you love. Heck, I would jump for joy if I was given the kind of life she has now. (minus the haters, of course)
but all in all looks like it’s another good read. Good job, Oyabun.

I said misrepresenting, and by that I mean she’s painting the wrong picture to people outside the Philippines. Filipino cosplay is being championed by a bimbo.

It surprises me that someone like you -well, only based on my impression of you through your articles and comments- would envy her life.
She does have a lot of fans, but they’re not really there to appreciate her cosplay, or whatever it is she has to offer. Most of them are there to ogle her pretty face (and do things that cannot be discussed as part of polite conversation) Her appearance is something she won’t always have and there will come a time that she’ll be too old for this act. What then? Would you prefer to be desired rather than respected? Do you really want fans who don’t care about you past the way you look?
She may get paid to dress up and act cute, but is that really the sort of career you want? Is that how you want to contribute to the world? Is that a life one can be proud of? Being a glorified mascot? The first time I saw her Wheatgrass TVC, when she was doing that awkward jumping pose thing, her face haunted me. I could feel that she knew she looked ridiculous, but had to do what the client wants. I felt a lot of pity for her then.
I also cannot help feeling bad for her, even though she may be blessed with material things. She seems to have no real friends. She appears to be betrothed to someone she cannot proudly speak of, for whom even most of her fans cannot muster respect- not even for her sake. All that while she is under the public’s eye. (Not to mention, while her sister Ashley is beside her, seeming blissfully in love with her own boyfriend.) Imagine being unable to hold hands with your significant other without caring what anyone else thinks. And because of their age difference, apart from her being a public figure- feeling people’s eyes judging you every time you are out together. That constant pressure sounds maddening.
I observe her because I think she is an interesting case. But it seems like hers is a tough life to live.

I have a problem with her retarded fans..with her even more retarded white knight..but with her? I never did. Sure she can be an idiot at times but everyone has their idiotic moments. I try to stay neutral when it comes to my opinion of her.
What I’m thinking is that she does try to go outside of her comfort zone by making her own props. She could easily have paid someone else to do it for her (like so many other cosplayers I know). No one would like to be desired and not be respected but that isn’t something she can control right? boys will be boys after all.
Compared to the career I have now? why not? what I do in real life doesn’t contribute to society either. She’s a glorified mascot for sure but at least she doesn’t feel the daily grind normal citizens do.
Sometimes I too feel really bad for her. Honestly, sometimes I wonder how she can get up in the morning. You’re right. her life is a tough life to live. I think I need to correct myself, rather than have her life I’d rather have her opportunities rather than her life.

“No one would like to be desired and not be respected but that isn’t something she can control right? boys will be boys after all.”
- Yes you CAN control it somehow. It’s with the way one presents themselves. Just to pull an example out of the air, compare Natalie Portman and Megan Fox. Both are prominent actresses. Both are beautiful and quite understandably, have drooling fanboys. But one is known and respected more for her acting than anything else. The other is mostly utilized for her sex appeal.
“She’s a glorified mascot for sure but at least she doesn’t feel the daily grind normal citizens do.”
- Dear, you are mistaken. I have worked with someone who is established in local showbiz. Someone who has been around longer than Alodia, and works on the frontlines. They feel the daily grind too, though in a different way. Calltimes, hardly having time for themselves, being ceaselessly judged, the long hours, needing to plaster a smile on regardless of how they’re feeling, doing things to cater to the masa.
“I think I need to correct myself, rather than have her life I’d rather have her opportunities rather than her life.”
- This I can understand.

Whenever I think of Alodia’s lifestyle, at the end of the day I reflect on a few things.
While I can go out freely, she can’t.
While I make real friends with real effort, she does with fame.
While I enjoy what life can fully offer, she is constrained.
While I can seek love and relationships freely, she is too ashamed to admit it.
While I live to express, she does to impress.
While I live a pressure-free day, she doesn’t.
While I can live life without a mask, she has to wear one at all times.
While I am free from the prying camera lens, it’s what pokes at her everyday.
While I live by my mind, Alodia lives by what her fans want.

FREE PHOTO WITH ALODIA
Unfortunately, not everyone who’ll be watching the show will get a picture with Alodia. Only the first 100 peeps will be given the chance to have some shots with her. There are three guidelines to follow to be one of the 100. These are:
Should sign up at the registration booth (FIRST 100)
Should be cosplaying (costrip & original character are accepted)
Should have at least Php300.00 worth of purchased food/services from the stores inside the mall. Receipts may be separated as long as it totals to Php300.00. (could be at the food court, department store, donut stalls etc.)
Don’t forget to present your receipts at the registration booth! :)
SHOW FLOW
The registration booth opens at 2:00PM. The show will start beyond 3:00PM. Expect dancing, singing, games and trivias with Alodia G. all the way to 7:00PM.

100 registration fee x 100 = P10,000 (!)
300 worth of food x 100 = P30,000 (!!)
Kailangan pang mag-cosplay, which is additional gastos sa mga magpupumilit na magcosplay para lang makadikit si Alodia sa isang picture! (!!!)
Equals, P40,000 kaagad yan oh. Di rin natin alam kung overpriced pa ang food.
Di ba namang pwede na kahit digital camera na lang ang gamitin? Kailangan pa bang ikuha sa DSLR at ipadala sa email mo? Hello, may digital camera naman diba?

Really nice words, very well said. :)
Oh i just wish Philippine Cosplay would change for the better rather than having those jejenoobs,fapboys,white knights,Perverts, and of course famewhores. those kind wouldn’t even show up if it weren’t for Alodia becoming “Famous” because of cosplay it’s obvious she became famous because of the likes Of Abundo, I Mean seriously they completely stuffed her brain with her being so “Famous” and besides her white knights was also responsible for turning her into the person she has become and also i just saw this:
Every step in Alodia’s career takes Philippine cosplay to the next level.

I mean seriously She made it worse and made Philippine cosplay look crap to other countries is that really what you call “To The Next Level”? I mean fanwhores white knights perverts and hardcore wankers filled every conventions Because of her? Did she really do anything good? she made Philippines cosplay cosplayers and con goers look dumbfucks to other countries. Well everything that i said is based IMHO.

If you’re rich like Alodia it’s easy to become a famous cosplayer. Almost every costume of Alodia was made by Regine’s Boutique. http://reginesboutique.multiply.com/photos/album/14/COSPLAY_
Maybe she is able to make props on her own, but rarely. Other cosplayers make everything on their own. She cannot be compared to REAL cosplayers. Because of Alodia many people think cosplaying is just buying a costume and wearing it…
Of course not to mention she ruins the characters by doing the same poses and cute expressions all the time. Not behaving like the original character at all. -_-
ALOLdia, just stop making everything worse. And bitChienna as well.

Alodia didnt start out as a “normal” cosplayer. The cosplayers then were all wrapped up in baggy clothes, showing as little flesh as possible. Alodia and Ashley chose to go scantily-clad (then there’s also Polence). That was their “edge” … that’s why people were awed — coz they’re pretty, they’re fresh and they stood out the most.
Since people thought that cosplaying with skimpy clothes is okay, then a lot of other people started to show their skins as well. If the character is truly like that then there wouldnt be a problem (parang mga female avatars sa MMORPGs na kinukulang lagi sa tela). the issue only arises naman pag out-of-character na sila e.
regarding props, AFAIK even the ancients of philippine cosplay had their props commissioned. letting other people create your “weapons” is okay/legal/accepted. nagkaroon lang naman ng standard na “true cosplayers make their own costumes” when (i think) people started poking on other countries’ interpretation of cosplay — since foreigners produce their own costumes most of the time. so pag wala kang alam sa crafting eh wala ka na karapatan mag-cosplay at masabing okay yung cosplay mo? that would be unfair, IMHO…. with alodia’s case… well, that’s different since she lies about it most of the time. blergh..
dun sa issue na overcrowding, that’s the organizers’ fault. kahit gaano karaming fans ni alodia, kung marunong ng crowd-control yung organizers eh walang kaso dapat yun… but i hafta agree that cosplay is no longer the rare gem it used to be. sabi nga sa INCREDIBLES, “when everyone is special, then no one will be.”
ah well, tama na rambling… off to lurk mode again.

I myself have my props made. It actually is more practical in my case. Because, this country lacks materials. Been watching some how to make costume/armor tutorials online and I cannot even find the things that they use for the armors. Rubber sheets are okay, although I want something non rubber looking. The downside of having costumes made, if the maker screws up, then there is nothing you can do about it.

True enough, There were not alot of cosplayers who dared to show their skin but they DID exist. Back in Anime Quest 2001 there was someone who cosplayed as “gundam girl” oh sure, her boobs didn’t show because of her armor but her ass and legs certaintly did. (http://kosupurei.blogspot.com/2009/03/mobile-suit-gundam-girl.html)
She cosplayed a character she liked. She tried to be as accurate as possible. Anyone who knew her from the forums knew she was into gaming and FF. Nothing wrong with that.

the OAV group then… some of them did make the costumes and props, but some were done by either leah (the featured anime seamstress) or the “mark” dude or robert wong (i think). then the commissioning grew as the community broadened.
lyron made my mech outfit. the costumes i wore were all done by regular tailors or seamstresses. isang beses pa lang naman ako nairita sa kinalabasan ng costume ko but the rest were good.

Shut the fuck up Ashley. Enough with the cosplay dynasty. You’re just the same as your sister. Butt hurt so much with GT’s writing? He’s just telling the truth that your sister is a WHORE. YOU and your sister are using COSPLAY as a source of INCOME and PUBLICITY for your business shits. Just look at your sister now. Sinuka na ng ABS CBN after nya dayain si Toni. Kapal ng mukha sa dami dami ng tao si Toni pa hinamon nya. Pwe! Mayayaman na walang breeding! Ano siya ngayon? Puro guesting guesting na lang? Bumalik na sa pag cocosplay ate mo dahil wala na siya future sa showbusiness. SIYA mismo sumira sa sarili nya. Nakakahiya.
I’m not the type of a person who’ll just say that “oh aloldia ia the best” or “jin joson is awesome” or “tricia gosingtian and/or ashley is preetier than alodia”.
We Filipinos are not your slaves. Yes I’m not a good cosplayer like your sister and I’m not even known in the cosplay community. BUT I know what is right and what is wrong. Enough with defending your sister. She’s old enough to handle herself. Or maybe not because she’s old by age but very very young at heart…. as young as a fetus for not knowing that CHEATING is bad :)

Seriously? Them Atenistas. You can always expect them to act like clueless rich kids. But because you’re much hotter than your sister, I’ll bite.
“And where has this mindset of yours taken you? Exactly. NOWHERE. But your failure is not my problem now, is it?”
Which mindset? That I know for a fact cosplay is incomparable to modeling, racing, photography, and sewing? I dunno, it makes me less dumb, I guess?
“I won’t go on researching where modeling or racing or WHATEVER profession from WHATEVER category was hundreds of years ago. But what I’m sure of is this: they all had a beginning. They all started somewhere. And I’m sure all the crabby dimwits (oh you know, like what you guys are) died in sorry, jealous bitterness.”
You don’t need research to realize that sewing and photography are a lot more socially relevant than cosplay. Racing is a different beast, but there sure are a lot more people who drive than cosplay. Modeling is the most obscure of the bunch, but it’s as important a commercial tool as marketing or PR for industries that benefit from modeling. Cosplay? Umm… err… yeah…
Paid cosplayers have existed long before Alodia was past her awkward teenager phase, but that’s beside the point. You’re all over the place here.

Some say that his very existence is the reason Philippine cosplay is truly given justice, and that he moves in the very shadows of anime conventions. Some also say that if his identity is revealed, Alodians will writhe in chaos, and the Alodian Whiteknight Legion, with Mike Abundo as its High Commander, will clash with the Cosplay Federation of the Philippine Republic for the ultimate battle of cosplay supremacy. The “cosplay goddess” Alodia will descend from the “heavens”, while in the shadows, he will take it upon himself to reestablish what was ‘true’ cosplay.
But for all we know, he is the Sti– GT.

Speaking of Alodia and fame; maybe it is because I am Swedish and we have a different culture when it comes to boasting and such, but for me- the very fact that she is promoted at cons as the “cosplay goddess” leaves me with a sour aftertaste.
Acknowledging and letting people call you a “goddess” without any shame implies to me that Alodia is a type of person that I would never want to be associated with since I interpret it as a form of megalomania.
I would love to further discuss the cultural differences in the cosplay community between Sweden and the Philippines if it could be kept at a civil level which I sadly often feel is not the case. Sweden is a quite small country and naturally our cosplay community is small as well. We respect certain individuals in our community in regards to their craftmanship, acting skills and personality but I have never felt that it has been on a “devotional” level which sometimes feels like the case with Alodia,Chienna and the other cosplayers with fan pages and clubs and such.
So why am I here? Well to tell you the truth I have been lurking for almost 2 years on this website/former blog since I have always been fascinated by the different cosplay communities in the world, I am also a big fan of cosplay in the Philippines. (Jin Joson is for example one of my rolemodels when it comes to portrayal and cosplay photography.) I would love to visit the Philippines sometime, but the stories told about the conventions seem kind of daunting.
I always try to remain objective when reading all the material on this website, Abundo’s blog (@.@”), Alodia’s FB-wall and I do not consider myself a hater in any way- more someone who just studies how the global cosplay community is evolving, but I must say that I find the case of Alodia peculiar. Would you accept a hoard of people calling you a goddess? That being your official title in writing, events and such?
I know that I would find it distasteful- but on the other hand, Swedish modesty is so deeply rooted in our beliefs that it may just be me. I would be interested in hearing your opinions.
Sorry for the long elaboration but I will probably go back to lurking now so I thought I would take some time and write a lot of thoughts that I have had these past years off my chest. Maybe I will write again, I don’t know- that depends on if someone will actually take the time to read my writing. It may also depend on if I get interesting replies or just a lot of flamewar. (I am a delicate soul. ;;-;;)
Thank you for an interesting website- I might not always agree with it’s contents but I find the material insightful and often humorous.

What you read here is more or less the reality of cosplay in the Philippines, albeit it doesn’t get to fairly voice out both sides (haters+fans). It’s good that you still keep an open mind. I’d hate for Philippine cosplay scene to look to bad to other countries. Just don’t mind the rude comments, some people are just so expressive.
Regarding Alodia, I feel the same way. I remember she mentioned in her Plurk account before that she feels undeserving of the title “Cosplay Princess” and that she is flattered about it. But I guess she enjoys this flattery because she even allowed herself to be branded as the “Cosplay Goddess”. As a model, I believe she has the right to refuse what titles she’ll be given. She just wasn’t modest enough to inform her endorsements that there is no such title.
She doesn’t even care to tell her fans to stop referring to her as the goddess or worship her like some cult. IMHO, it’s creepy and saddening. People only like her because she is being lusted after. I’d like to believe she has brains as she graduated from a good university but her associations with a guy who owns a ‘sexy site’ shows otherwise.
Until this wave of Alodia and commercialized cosplay becomes upright, I don’t suggest you to visit the Philippines for cosplay. Just go to our mountains and beaches.

Alodia can’t deny the people but She can at least convince them that all cosplayers are equal that she don’t need to be called “Cosplay Goddess” or something.
Being TOO comfortable being called “Goddess” on a daily basis is like being arrogant…or “pa-special”
It’s ok that she appreciates that other people consider her one but she should not be tolerating it and convince them….that…ok to repetitive of me, sorry. :D

Good evening to you, good sir.
It’s such a shame to see that this topic is garnering international responses, and it’s even more of a shame that you had to see us in this condition. I also gotta admit, her title of “cosplay goddess” is something most of us regret bestowing to her; there are better cosplayers out there, professional or not, but they are overshadowed with Alodia’s fame and looks.
The definition of “cosplay” here in the PH changed greatly after her rise to fame. Many say that she used cosplay as a stepping stone to fame. Others say that her costumes and props are not made by her, but by others, after all. However, that’s something we won’t know anytime soon.
Do visit Philippines sometime, and take the time to visit a few cons! However, since Alodia’s entry to the PH cosplay scene, the number of her fans overwhelm us non-fans and critics to the point that it’s literally a Zerg rush wherever she is. It’s a sausage fest, and a very unpleasant one, at that. They seem to forget to respect the personal space of other passersby who have nothing to do with Alodia. It’s something within Filipinos that a certain person of interest gets instantly crowded.
I understand your sentiments, though. The usage of “cosplay queen” is asking a bit too much, because there are other cosplayers from other countries who is also or highly skilled and talented than Alodia. I’m ashamed to admit that most companies use that title to sell their products; a certain cellular company here advertises Alodia as the “cosplay queen” along with a mobile pre/postpaid Internet USB stick. The connections are rather missing, but it’s aminly for capitalism and advertising purposes, and rarely the title is put to the test.
Don’t mind us Netizens and our trollish comments, though. I also enjoyed reading your thoughts, especially one from another country, at that. I wish I’d be able to enjoy the first-world environment Sweden, your country, has to offer. But, it’s hell in here, so don’t mind us. I’d appreciate it if you also took the time to read this reply.

I’ve thought the same thing but I’ve never said it because I’ve been waiting for someone else to say it.
I’ve been lurking in blogs and other sites for years, and from what I’ve read most people say that the fans gave her the title. Like she never branded herself as such. I call bullshit. She might not have been the first person who thought of it, she might not have initially branded herself as such, but she uses it now. She brands herself with that title.
Her knights want people to think otherwise. They’ll tell people that she didn’t want it, that they called her that. They like to make it look like it was their fault and that she’s really so modest. Bull crap.
It’s sad that a lot of people fell for it and actually acknowledge it. I’d post something myself to explain to these people how it isn’t so but the situation is just so pathetic I just can’t quit facepalming long enough to do it.
I’m happy somebody else can see things as they are. Brofist!

“But there are still heavy metal bands. And they make money out of their heavy metal music. So it’s still their profession, even though you say it’s not universal.”
…what? Heavy metal music not being universal and it making money are not the same thing. You can make money out of porn, and pornography is an art. Cosplay is art. Does that mean cosplay is pornography? That’s a possible conclusion from your messed up logic.

Read some of the comments here and HAHAHAHA! It really IS Ashley!
First up, Ashley! You gained a bit of my respect. At least you broke the 4th wall. Celebrities are so fake. At least you showed your true colors here.
And now that you’re on the spotlight. I have nothing against you people making money out of cosplay. What I do have issues with are you people not controlling what you are doing. You and your sister’s fans act like lunatics. Threatening people, hurting them in conventions, damaging merchandise and plainly uncivilized. Remember during ToyCon, when your bouncers and fan boys were pushing people around and people were shouting. What actions did you do? Of course it isn’t all your responsibility. But at least train your guards or something.
Making money is okay, but selling out too much is just not fun anymore. At least once in awhile have an event that does not look like some lunchtime masa show. An event for cosplayers to enjoy without all the fame whoring. But I doubt that is impossible for you guys.
Oh and by the way, some of us here aren’t “haters” we just have some issues.
I originally do not give a damn about you or your sister, I just see you guys as fellow cosplayers. But because your fans threatened me for not liking you guys. Yeah, issues…
And my very issue with you guys, I want to dethrone your sister. Let us say right now she is the “champion” of this country. And champions have to defend their titles right? Your sister has been on top for a very long time. I want someone different to claim her spot and then defend her title again… Probably against someone else or your sister again. You know how it goes. At least that way things get more interesting. But unfortunately your sister’s fans are all rabid and consider competition as “haters”. Whatever happened to the friendly competition?
I doubt you’d take my word. I am considered a “hater” after all.

Girl kasi ganito ‘yan, ang cosplay talaga hobby talaga ‘yan where people can enjoy without pressure and purely having fun talaga.
Sige nga samahan natin ng trabaho, parang nadudungisan kasi yung concept ng cosplay na for social gathering.
Although pwede pa rin namang social gathering kahit gawin nang “professional” as you said…Mas ma-eemphasize ang perception ng mga tao sa cosplay as “work” and not having fun. Although you can say that you can work and have fun at the same time..
pressure pa rin yun, kasi mas yung value ng pagkita yung tinitingnan ng mga cosplayers sa cosplay eh, more than socializing. Magkakaroon ng heavy competitions sa mga cosplayers kasi nga they all want to earn from it.
Gets mo ba yung point? kasi parang pera nalang magiging tingin ng mga tao sa cosplay hindi yung simple lang na social gathering na really innocent talaga for many na naeexperience nila dati.
Ayun tapos anong gagawin ng Cosplayers kung professional sila? Pose pose na naka-anime costume? Anong itutulong ‘nun? Kung ganun yun edi model sila kahit naka-anime costume sila…parang redundant na ata. They can endorse sa mga stuff na anime and game-related but not on other industries…so very limited lang talaga. At ayun nga sa modelling pa rin sila pasok.
So Cosplaying being called a profession? It’s Impractical. Sana nakikita niyo yun.

because it instills the WRONG mindset in people. cosplay ain’t about whoredom – it’s about portraying your favorite character. what we hate here is that fame is made the main reason why people cosplay. fame is but a side-effect and genuine love for the character is the real reason.
but then again, you stupid fuckers won’t understand since you only saw cosplay as a cash cow.

I honestly think the argument above is going nowhere.
Ashley, you entered the snake pit. I realize that you’re just trying to protect your sister who hardly defends herself from her haters but you’re fighting a losing battle here. These guys won’t change their mind on how they perceive her. They might change. But it will take a long time.
also, Skull Lionheart. I would like to point out na kahit ang PARI nagmumura. I also graduated from a catholic school so medyo affected ako sa sinabi mo. Yun lang.
GT, it’s your blog and you have every right to post what you damn well please but at one point you and I, as well as the other writers,need to acknowledge that we are writing about real people. Alodia may look like a porcelain doll but she’s got feelings too, I’m sure.
Abundo, I don’t like you. I think you should button your shirt when you go out. Exposing your chest in public events isn’t cool.

GT: Remember at Deviantart, it was Ashley who retaliated to the -chan trolling at /cgl/. Or so I remember it that way.
P.S. Dear Ashley, your sister is a nice person (albeit rather overrated as a cosplayer, and as a pretty woman in general), or so I remembered when we were at the same top 50 cosplayers line at the catwalk in Le Pavillion. What I don’t like, at least in my opinion, is how her influence is often misinterpreted by *certain* people and or hordes of them.
Some of us don’t mind /don’t give a fuck that she’s called / looked up to as a “Goddess” so to speak. For those who gave a fuck however, I see that there are comments.

The main reason why I began to dislike something about Alodia is that the whole Alodia-hype went too far already: Creepy obsessed whiteknights, cosplay being given a new definition and at some point, cosplay being a bit too commercialized already.
True, Alodia can’t do anything to fend off crazy whiteknights (they’re THAT crazy); Alodia can’t stop companies from wanting to use cosplay as a means of marketing. Gotta admit, she has to earn some moolah too, right? Plus, Alodia can’t help it if majority view cosplaying as some stepping stone for wannabe models since it’s too late for that now.
In the end, it wouldn’t hurt if Alodia would show herself as a good role model for all her fans and worshipers. Pero hindi din eh…
Anyway, Alodia, I still love your modeling and I wish you’d make more artworks cuz I’m still a fan of your works. =w=b

I have to disagree with some of your points though. Alodia was born rich and she is still rich. She doesn’t need to earn moolah. She can decline job offers to her when she wants to. If she declines, then companies won’t have to take advantage of cosplay.

While it’s natural that Ashley would want to defend Alodia because they’re sisters, isn’t Alodia old enough to defend herself? It’s white knights like Ashley, Abundo, etc. that enable Alodia such that she never learns from her mistakes and can’t distinguish constructive criticism from trolling. While some of the commenters here might have something against Alodia, it’s not like every point raised on GT is invalid. In fact, this entry makes a lot of sense.
I don’t really know how Alodia is as a person, though I personally think that she seems vapid and narcissistic and is way too pa-cute, but – I think I speak for a bunch of people as well – our problem with Alodia is how she gives people the wrong idea about cosplay and how she just goes along with titles like “cosplay queen” or “cosplay goddess” as if she were the best cosplayer out there, which is an insult to the many other cosplayers out there who put more effort into characterization, resourcefulness and/or making their own costumes and props. Alodia was lucky to have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, so she can commission outrageously expensive costumes anytime she pleases, and she’s got the connections, which is why she gets more exposure and more costumes. She’s also good-looking, I’ll give her that. But to call her the best cosplayer ever or a cosplayer who made a lot of breakthroughs for the Philippine cosplay scene is just problematic. For many dedicated cosplayers, cosplay going mainstream actually created more problems (basically, the problems GT has been blogging).
It’s not that we’re jealous – honestly, that “haters are just jealous” notion is so cliche. It’s just that, if she wants to make money out of cosplay, fine, but at least stop giving people the wrong idea about cosplay. Now, just about anyone can get into cosplay – it’s not that the cosplay community isn’t welcoming, but then, how can you be happy seeing people get into cosplay and bastardize beloved characters or the hobby itself just because they want to get famous? We now also have young girls (often with inflated egos, too) who confuse cosplay with modeling, or use it as a stepping stone to get into modeling/stardom. People also think that the cosplay scene is a hierarchy, with Alodia at the top and everyone aspiring to be like her, when that’s not the case. (Cosplayers out there – I’m sure a lot of you have experienced having non-cosplay friends who ask you if you know Alodia and/or if they can meet her.)
TL;DR – Alodia as a person may not have directly destroyed cosplay, but her rise to fame and the people associated with her (and the fact that she just condones whatever perversions and wrongdoings the people around her do) have. As a person, she’d just have been an annoyance, but she’s now larger than life because of her insane fandom – and so she has become part of the problem. The cult of Alodia has made the cosplay scene worse.

Now it is proven. ~ uncivilized persons picks fight over the net.
Seriously, you can react about this without whining. You can stand for what you believed in and be reasonable without being pissed. And HELLO this is the REALITY! It’s his observation, not just mere hearsays nor rumors. Does it HURT so much? And if its not true, well then prove your claim. You show them your proofs without being a little crybaby; act like grown-up adults.

Yes, because this is the reality. It’s harsh but you have to accept that. Not the fantasy where it’s all smile and sunshine, where everyone hold hands and sing about peace, love, and weeds. It’s our business of course, hello, earth to Ashley, your sister is the “Cosplay Goddess”, how can it not be our business? We’re here for a reason, we hate her for a reason.
Nice try, but everyone even the Cosplay Goddess will end up under the dirt and cold like everybody else. The only difference is that you believe in hell and I don’t.

at gusto mong maging loving sister at daughter kaya ikaw ang nagsasalita. pero pag ikaw naman ang inaaway sino ang nagtatanggol sa yo? sila ba nagsasalita para sa yo? o hindi ka na napapansin dahil mas nakatutok sila sa career ng kapatid mo? lagi ka na lang bang anino nang kapatid mo? kulang na lang maging carry on ka. lagi ka na lang sinasabit pero hindi ikaw ang bida.

Q u Q aaah, watching/reading the comments above was fun.
Again, I ask, why do some people even go here when they know nothing here will be liked by them. Blargh.
So onto the topic.
Misrepresenting cosplay, indeed. Executing it wrongly, too. With the characters she cosplay./disappointed, likes the clothes very much, all pretty face though
Overpopulating cons, oh god yes *sob*. Why are those who know nothing–or very little–even go there. They’re occupying the space—-well, more like crowding. ashgjahsdjasdIhatecrowdsAHSGDJAHSD Jejecosplayers, please know what you’re getting into before you get in. DDD;
Turning cosplay into a money game, I like money. Very much. Also because we can’t really get by life without it nowadays. YOUDONEEDMONEYFOREVERYTHING. Like transportation, small snacks and daily stuff. But…ffffu–please, if you’re gonna use it for money, please do it with dignity. But then again, many lose their dignity for money. Oh well.
Causing much unneeded drama, *STARES AT COMMENTS ABOVE* it’s a fun thing to watch though——OH and educational, with all the sensible comments with actual and useful information.
Scaring away talent, again, agreed…and have very little to say about this since I do agree. xDD
lol in the end, idk, I might have said something wrong, and my wordings might be wrong, so please excuse them, for they are personal opinions.
I once admired Alodia, since she IS pretty, and the red lolita dress she wore at that one con looked pretty–I just hoped she didn’t use velvet on it–or whatever glossy furry cloth she used. But after a long while….lol all this exposure and news I heard about her made my admiration die out. So so so–yeah. That’d be all for me. xD

Hmmm. Ashley it is but natural to defend your sister, that I understand. Though you have to admit the article does have some reasonable things pointed out. Your sister is in the limelight so people will definitely have comments, good ones and bad ones. Especially now that she’s in showbiz, or whatever.
Fact is the negative ones are there because they find something lacking in how Alodia cosplays. I find it admirable that these negativity has not brought her down. But I do hope that she also tries to learn from what people are telling her to improve on, albeit indirectly through blogs such as this.
Just my 2 cent, to kill time.

Well, everyone has the freedom to speak on the intarwebz in any manner one chooses to. If one chooses to be tough guy internet punk, palengkera, or elitist bastard its their call. It may or may not reflect their true personality. I’ll just give Ashley the benefit of the doubt that, that was not how she handles herself most of the time but acted out of how people seem to disrespect her onee-san.
I’m also giving them benefit of the doubt that maybe they’ll listen. But I myself think that’s somehow a tall order.

Maybe Ashley is just pissed off about the comments?? yes?… Well this is all I can say ashley.. I know that you were reading this, everyone has their own opinion whether it’s good or bad.. it’s their thoughts.. you can’t please them..
And another thing, one of the errors of alodia in show business is the hosting, I feel embarrass whenever I see her on TV, she looks so intimidated in front of camera (no offense ms gosiengfiao)..

Although this blog’s posts are hurtful indeed, they could also help Alodia become a better person. She can see her ‘reflections’ from other people who somewhat know how she lives her life.
And on another note, I really admire people who could speak/write well in English (including GT) but what’s saddening is that they use it as a medium for bringing other people down (we know that not only Alodia but a lot of other people get bashed by GT and such)

if he craves for power he could have named and show hiself. but no. you know, he’s not brainwashing people he’s just posting some blogs to make people wake up from the hallucinations that alodia have created. he wants cosplayers to realize what real cosplaying is for. its passion, its self fulfilment. not posting like whores, not denying their relationship for reputations, not lying onstage that their costumes are all own made. not influencing people to vote her as the new big host even when she knows herself that she is a big joke as a host. tell people to vote for my new video, and documentating evry lie that she could say. but rather,
its what you can do to be happy, to move on from your bitter past, to have friends with the same interest, to have self realization, for art, for creativity. for anime.
not to advertise yourself as a sexy whorelooking cosplayer.

He writes his OBSERVATIONS about the cosplay community (duh!). He judges them BASED ON THE ACTIONS that they do publicly. Showbizz gossip columnists do the same thing. He didn’t call Alodia stupid because he found out she failed a popquiz in highschool. He called her stupid based on the numerous instances she has displayed her stupidity in public (example: posting how to cheat in an online voting contest)
“you can’t read minds but you have to”? that doesn’t even make any sense.
You know what? I think you’re just a self-righteous attention seeking failure of a white knight who can’t even answer a simple logical question. Get off your fucking high horse.

True, true. Harsh, yet true.
I heavily agree on the “scaring away talents” part.
I mean really now, there are people who are can easily surpass Alodia, there are the mecha and sentai cosplayers because in my honest opinion, they deserve it. But no, its always Alodia.
Just saying.

It’s always Alodia, that’s why it’s becoming sickening.
If it’s the Sentai/Mecha/Henshin/Metal Hero/”I’m-not-seeking-fame-and-glory” kind of cosplayers, you can always find something fresh and new from them, keeping up the tradition of being in character.
. . . But sadly, nowadays?
Girls more often than not go skimpy, and most of the guys are just KPoppers.

Ahahaha, kinda happens when I’m being sick of seeing fapboys roaming around the cosplay cons. I mean really, back in toycon, I was hanging out with my friends while cosplaying, then in this little corner where we stay (just near the big Toycon tarp/banner on hall 3) then I ALMOST got squished by Faptographers (Basically alodia faptards who are photogs.) when I was about to walk around.
Virus Definition:
Trojan.FapboyDropper
-Like the original Trojan.Dropper which downloads other viruses to infect the pc, in cosplay terms, When one fapboy see’s the target computer, AKA Alodia, he he’s gonna scream out her name, then the rest of the Fapboys will converge on the target ‘computer’ AKA Alodia…..
P.S:
Additional option:
Delete, then laugh at silly attempt of defending Alodia.
GOD-FREAKING-SERIOUSLY, these faptards are giving cosplay a bad definition…

P.P.S: Looks like the Alodia Dislike Squad is starting to hate the honesty…. I have one question you baka-tards! “U MAD?!”
“When people see things they like, they embrace it and call it good, when people see things they fear, they shun it and call it evil.” -Unknown, I just found this somewhere.
Cosplay Version:
“When people see Alodia, they call her the Goddess and deems her the epitome of cosplay, when GT criticizes, the Alodia Faptards shun, rage, hate and call him evil.”
A little off topic:
Being honest, I once disliked GT in the past, but now I just accepted it, besides, he gave me incentive to become a better cosplayer.

this post is funny. i’m not a supporter/hater or whatever. SERIOUSLY GUYS? It’s Alodia. She’s a person. She’s an IDOL. YES YES YES, Yet, she can’t please everyone and Yes, Yes, Yes, She has feelings too. I hope you guys are aware of that. I bet you all are cosplayers, right? What you mean na si Alodia yung nagsisira ng cosplay thing sa Philippines? If siya nga, then why you guys are going mad? Why not stand up for what you believe in? Try not hating, instead, you make COSPLAY better here in the Philippines. In Japan, COSPLAYERS ARE ONE. not like this.
COSPLAYERS, if you dislike ALODIA that much, then don’t react this much. You must try loving COSPLAY than hating someone. FIGHT COSPLAYERS! FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT! STOP THE HATE!

What you’re asking from people here is quite idealistic, my friend. It’s real people with emotions we’re dealing with. To expect and demand that people just shut the fuck up and cosplay better (there are a lot who are cosplaying much much better but not seen) is very idealistic.
If you don’t like the hatred then don’t look. Simple. But it does feel good to let out some steam, doesn’t it?
Unfortunately for you, not everyone is a cosplayer. There are photographers and there are people who hate Alodia who are just normal viewers.
Honey, that’s Japan. Even the personality and treatment of their cosplay “idols” are completely different. Idol or not there, equality is present. Big diff.

No, no, no, you just don’t get it, mate. We are all not cosplayers here, heck I’m not even one. Most of us here have gone past the stage of hating, and we got fed up with it. Now, we are merely pointing out the flaws of Alodia as it is. However, she’s not really used to criticism at all, I’m afraid. IIRC, gravure idols in Japan tend to follow what their fans demand: diet, clothing, appearance, amongst all others! This is why cosplaying is very successful in Japan, while we are still left in the gutter.
Blimey, I wonder if Alodia listened to her critics for once. But then again, she doesn’t, and she will probably never will.

WOW! i never thought Ashley could stoop so low as she did. ok, first of all to the fapboy/white knights, we dont hate alodia just for the sake of hating. WE HAVE REASONS. and its not exactly Alodia we hate but the idea she represents and how she DOES NOT take responsibility for her actions, how the people who manage her, who encourage her and idolize her does not take responsibility and just go on bastardizing the cosplay community. capitalizing on the idea of sex sells therefore people who are unfamiliar with cosplay will think that cosplay is really just a kind of pornography. remember that “movie” Alodia was in? tell me if that did not look like porn. whew, i would really like to go on but i know it’ll be a waste of time coz fapboys/white knights wont understand a thing i said :)) or at least wont open their minds and try to understand.

ahh this would be a great character study for human beings’ degree of double standards and their need to bring other people down.. crab mentality anyone?
im pointing out finer points of this slightly senseless argument:
standard #1 its ok to wear skimpy cosplay clothes as long as they made it or they’re in character or both
(what kind of logic is that? cosplay conventions dont happen in your backyard, in your own little world full of cosplayers, it happens in malls and wherever, where other people sans you are.. your opinion of what is and what should be dont matter, someone wears a skimpy clothes they’ll be considered whores and sluts, like you so ever kindly put it, by people who are not you. i dont even want to know how old those kids are)
standard #2 girls/ladies who wear revealing outfits wants to be raped
(fuck you! srsly. im thankful i havent experienced sth like that. do you even know what that entails. sick fucks. you just dont throw out those callus words within that context. noone wants to be raped. whatever fantasies you have, keep it to your self. and what about boys/guys who bare their bodies. do they get raped too? that doesnt include gay guys, who i might add wouldnt want to be raped too.)
standard #3 i dont hate/i dont like/ i hate alodia so its ok to speak ill of her, cause this is my blog and im free to say whatevere i want regardless if im hurting her feelings, cause she deserves it, she wanted it, the whore that she is
(i wonder, did your mother thought you that? in all of this i think alodia was the wise one, she actually heed your warning of ‘read at your own risk’ and go through with it. and ashley well if she were serious enougb shed have you convicted for slandee or libel or whatever, you can only wreck a persons character so much. did you forget that they are rich? thwy could have someone trace you, coward that you are, that you dont reveal your own name! so yes think about what your doing and saying. and also stop going on and on about how ashley is in her sister’s shadow. maybe she wants to be there. dont ruin their sisterhood, its none of your business.)
theres a lot more but im out of words already
im not a big fan, i do like some of her work and i dont see her much in conventions.. only once..
and thought shes pretty but had too much make-up… i may have envied her once, caise shes rich and she can buy all those things and damn if she isnt pretty even with nk make-up but yeah..
sometimes you just gotta live and let live…
shes alive and your alive, nobodys dying and cosplay will only die if you let it…

I’m not into alodia either but i think your words are isolating her case from the rest of the world:
1st argument: the skin shedding thing, yeah not just alodia, most famous cosplayers like kipi is famouse coz what… hooooot.. i know that it’s not the real essence of cosplay but cmon you can’t just hate alodia for that reason that can be applied to SEVERAL other cosplayers
google cosplay, just try to compare the number of awesome costumes vs. hot girls.
..same goes for your third point
i must agree with your fourth, although that’s not entirely her fault. she’s considered a celeb. It’s not only her who has the hand of midas, almost every celeb in this crazy country has that power. blame her fans for actually over acting to every little thing. fan war, it’s not like she ordered them to spam hate mails to those who posted against her.
It’s like me saying marian rivera looks gay on a fan forum, i can guarantee i’d have “a legion of angry trolls at my door step” too
and I simply disagree with your last point. It’s very hard to determine for certain that fact for i have not known anyone with such a case. If the people you are talking about want to be a cosplayer, i don’t think they should be keeping that thought onto their mind.
can you clarify your last point?, did you mean potentially good cosplayers shy away from cosplaying because it seems cosplay is a bonerpalooza? coz if that’s what you mean then i just have to say if their costume gives people a boner, with or without alodia they’ll give people a boner
i just wanna repeat i’m not a fan of alodia, i’m even irritated with her kaartehan specially in LOL.. it’s just gaaagh X-(
just wanted to give a fair view of the her and how other countries see cosplay

i just knew philippines have cosplays just last year. I love anime since trigun but not cosplays and such. I think it’s a child’s play. I have more important things to do than join the bandwagon.
first i saw alodia i said she’s so cute and thought she’s really good in cosplay basing from pictures. then i saw their witchblade clip and thought their costumes were great (they didn’t actually made it) but their acting so lame. then i saw several clips of her making cute faces. i mean i thought she was a teenager then but she’s already 23. wierd… she poses the same expressions everytime over and over. Her acting in LOL sucks that made me never to watch ABS again. She has endless nonsense in her facebook which makes her fans crazy. She really made herself a product. I realized she’s just a pretty face. No acting talent, her English is soooo scripted, so unnatural. Oh she can draw all right but nothing compared to Jin. For me, no one can compare to Jin Joson. She can cosplay anyone not kawai faces but REAL cosplay. She has great friends which she cosplays with. For her, cosplay is fun not money making. She may not be as “cute” as Alodia but she is beautiful and very talented. I’m not a Jin fan but i like their group. It seems so fun and I so appreciate their work. This is how cosplay should be. :D

Im not a hater of Alodia, but I do get tired of her being claimed as a goddess ==” . Cuz whenever we had a talk about cosplay (in social sites or in person) some person butts in and asks “can you post pics of Alodia plss?~~” and when we post (in an otaku page) pics of cosplayers from different countries they will also comment ” The goddess Alodia is still more better ” with a matching “HALLELODIA!!” at the end. Im just getting tired of treating her special, while some get mockery even if they put more effort in their costumes. I dont hate her cosplays , (even though I didnt like some of my fave characters being cosplayed by her) but hey, It’s a freedom of expression . But Im just worried about those who got too “blinded”.
