Just Fuck Me Up

“I’m heavily inspired by all the women in my life, especially my grandmother. Growing up I heard amazing stories of her craftsmanship and how she built her house in the village with her bare hands. These hands represents strength and power, and so does the @romeandtale virtus bracelet she’s wearing. I’m happy I was able to create this moment with her, while I was in Nigeria.” —Prince Aday

Here’s further awesome proof that cosplay is for everyone! Brazilian cosplayer Solange, aka Tia sol (“Aunty Sun”) has won the heart of the internet with her wonderfully accurate homemade costumes and convention appearances around her home city of Manaus, Brazil.

“A friend said that I wouldn’t have the guts,” Solange told BuzzFeed News. “I chose a character and had the costume made without saying another word.”

“I don’t miss a single event in my city. I’d really like to visit other ones, but have you seen the price of the fares?”

“I never thought that I would be well received among the young people, I’ve made a lot of friends during all of this.” Cosplay conventions have become a sort of a haven for Solange: “I can launch myself into the world of make-believe, where anything goes.” Her next event is coming up in December. “I’m finishing up the painting on my new cosplay, Granny Juju from Jorel’s Brother.”
