Fifty year-old Brazilian cosplayer Solange tells website UOL that she wishes more people her age had the courage to give cosplay a try.
Solange got into cosplay three years ago. She was already attending events with her 19-year-old cosplaying daughter. After a friend challenged her to give it a whirl, Solange made her cosplay debut under the name “Tia sol” or “Aunty Sun”.
Since then, Tia sol has been active on the Brazilian cosplay scene. According to her, it’s a way to leave your problems behind, have fun, and enter a world where anything is possible.
To those who are unsure about cosplaying, she says, “Don’t be taken aback by criticism. If you feel like doing it, then go ahead.”
