Interview Segment Translation:
Emcee 1 (the one beside me): Cut that up!
Emcee 2 (the one beside :iconutentsu:): She's the killer in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (lmao).
Emcee 1: Chainsaw massacre lol.
Emcee 2: No really.:D It's the one in the Chainsaw Massacre. Rrrrrr!
Emcee 1: So you're cosplaying as...
fallenangelkat: Grell Sutcliffe.
Emcee 2: And you are...
silentside:: Sebastian.
Emcee 2: Sebastian.
Emcee 1: How long have you been cosplayers?
Emcee 2: What year did you start cosplaying?
silentside and fallenangelkat : 2001.
Emcee 1: Oh they both answered at the same time.
Emcee 2: 2001! They've been cosplayers for a long time.
Emcee 1: So you've been joining cosplay competitions like this for a while.
fallenangelkat: Sorta. But there was a sort of hiatus of course.
Emcee 2: Hiatus. So they took some time out. Rest and stuff. Now they came back.
Emcee 1: Rested a bit. 9 years after. Haha. So they came back just in time. Grand comeback.
Emcee 2: There are a lot of cosplayers now.
Emcee 1: What inspired you to cosplay this character now?
fallenangelkat : For me, Grell Sutcliffe is a very flamboyant character. So it's really fun to cosplay him. And...
Emcee 2: And you, Sebastian?
silentside: It was a challenge to me, because his character is perfect. So it was really tough.
Emcee 2: As far as I know, aren't you cosplaying male characters?
Emcee 1: Butlers?
Emcee 2: They are butlers. You're butlers right?
silentside and fallenangelkat : *nod*
Emcee 2: So why, instead of cosplaying sexy female characters, why pick butlers? Why male characters? Why did you choose to crossdress?
fallenangelkat : It's more challenging to cosplay male characters. It's also nice to cosplay female characters, but isn't that the usual? So we wanted to go against the flow.
*crowd cheering lmao*
Emcee 2: More of a challenge huh?
fallenangelkat : Yeh! *death sign*
Emcee 2: So when we cosplay, we should cosplay girls!
Emcee 1: That's challenging!
Emcee 2: And you?
silentside: It was a challenge for me too.
Emcee 2: *copying :iconutentsu:'s voice* It was a challenge to me too. Big bro is a guy!
(Note: Actually, that issilentside's normal speaking voice. Can't help it if she's a contralto.:D)
Emcee 1: Okay, let's go here. What's your saw made of?
Emcee 2: Chainsaw. Chainsaw.
Emcee 1: Chainsaw! *hits self lol* Chainsaw sorry.
fallenangelkat : Uhm... Illustration board...
Emcee 2: Oh! Illustration board!
fallenangelkat : And a metal sheet here *touching the blade* (the one used for the roof).
Emcee 1: What's inside?
fallenangelkat : A metal sheet, to avoid the blade from being too wiggly.
Emcee 2: There's metal sheet.
Emcee 1: It's cold. Cold (it's a pun, the tagalog word for 'ice' and 'roof' sound almost alike).:D
LOL.
Emcee 2: Okay, here, the first contestants used rubber sheet. And there was foam, this here now is illustration board.
Emcee 1: And roof metal.
Emcee 2: So that's how resourceful they are just to make the props.
Emcee 1: How long did it take you to make them?
fallenangelkat: Ah.. with help (sideglancing at my best friend who was at the edge of the stage), it took 2 weeks or 1 week only.
Emcee 1: 2 weeks and 1 week just for the chainsaw. So which part is the hardest to make?
fallenangelkat : The main body (pat body). That's where all the weight is centered.
Emcee 1: Ah yes. It is heavy. I held it.
Emcee 2: Heavy no?
(LMAO and yet I was swinging it around like candy.:D Actually yes, it is heavy, but the weight issue was resolved after two weeks of constantly carrying and swinging it around at night. I got used to it finally.:D)
Emcee 2: And you sis, what's the hardest aspect of your costume?
Emcee 1: The necktie.
Emcee 2: LOL the necktie.
silentside: Having everything sewn.
(Oh this was LMAO for the emcees, but it's serious business for us because we waited eons before the seamstress could finish everything. We braved through heavy rains, seedy environment, thinning patience and bad karaoke singing just to get our costumes.)
Emcee 2: Okay pose.
Emcee 1: Last pose, Team Number 8, Butler Romantica. Ladies and gentlemen.
Emcee 2: Nice name.
Emcee 1: Romantica. Oh and thank you! Romantica, but they were kicking each others' butts here.
Emcee 2: I thought there'd be some sort of romance there, but it was Bromance.:D
