I Represented my Country at an International Cosplay Competition | Art to Play Before Christmas

WHAT A WHIRLWIND!

About a month or so ago I was told that I was accepted to go to Nantes, France to represent Australia in the Art to Play Before Christmas Cosplay Competition. I pulled out Christine Daae's Star Princess Dress from the Broadway version of Phantom of the Opera - a dress I made back in 2019.

And then a skit was formed (thank you @HazarielAtelier for your translation and voice overs)... AND OFF I WENT!

As a game, count how many times in this vlog I say "amazing" - but really, it was the best word to describe the whole weekend for me. It was in short, one of the best experiences of my life.
