THE  TRUE  POWER  OF  THE  CLOW


BEST IN SHOW - ANIME EXPO 2006


In 2005, Underground Cosplay had wet their feet by perfoming in three different masquerades, so for 2006 we wanted to try to kick things up a notch! We wanted to think of a skit that involved craftsmanship-heavy costumes as well as a clever presentation to go with it, but most of our ideas seemed to have only one or the other! After six months of casual brainstorming, the Clow Cards skit idea hit Pipsi while she was making a frappuccino at work... goodness knows why. She pitched the idea to the UGers the next day, and recieved an enthusiastic response! We began preparation almost immediately therafter.

The costumes for this skit were a new and fun challenge for us, which is what made this skit special to us. We were really pushing ourselves to the limit (Tavariel spent practically a lifetime in her garage creating the infamous Earthy and Windy wigs). But all of our efforts were well worth it when the four Elemental Clow Cards, The Earthy, The Firey, The Windy, and The Watery, combined their powers with Clow Reed, causing him to "transform" into CAPTAIN PLANET! The audience's grand reception of our awful joke was all we could have ever hoped for!

Underground Cosplay was incredibly honored to recieve Best in Show, as well as a Judges Award!
