It was an affair with a touch of style and class that cosplayers had longed for, and indeed the community responded in kind, dressed in their best ensembles and fineries as they shared a glamorous experience at C’est ca L’amour Grand Ball. Happening on an enchanting evening on the 24th of June in Manila, the Ball certainly was a special occasion the community won’t soon forget.

With more than just convenience and variety in mind, the event strove to deliver a memorable, fulfilling and enjoyable experience to all attendees, and these were delivered in more than equal measure.
Amid the fanciful décor and arrangements, the event started with the introduction of the special guests: Gelo Grayson, Maria Song Cosplay, along with prominent cosplay and lolita enthusiasts YU-EN Cosplay, who were also judges for the Royal Catwalk Competition. Our correspondent, Darene, got to perform a song for the attendees. Saki gave a performance for the audience as well.
