Alodia Mobbed at ToyCon
Tags: Alodia Gosiengfiao | Asian | Babes | Clay Shirky | Cosplay | Filipina | Here Comes Everybody | Philippines | ToyConJust like at M3Con 2008 two weeks before, Filipina cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao was mobbed at ToyCon 2008.
Between photo sessions as a sword-wielding schoolgirl, Alodia signed autographs for fans. The pen is mightier than the sword; Alodia wields both.
Aside from her usual prints, she’s added something new to her merchandising: bookmarks. Wonder when the photobooks and DVDs come out.
Alodia now bookmarks my copy of Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody. Awesome read, by the way; I recommend it to all bloggers. How fitting that Alodia herself is turning problogger soon.
Someone at ToyCon actually asked me why this was all happening. I guess becoming a media entity unto yourself, becoming a star outside the showbiz machine, is still a strange concept to most Filipinos.

I didn’t consider the possibility na Demonyong XIII can be known for good deeds. Thanks for the idea, RAstaMONch!
