Cosplay for a Cause Auctions Signed Calendar for Charity


If you like lovely ladies, helping Japanese tsunami victims, and keeping track of what day it is, Cosplay for a Cause has just what you need.

If your area has ever been hit with a flood, hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster, you know that life doesn't simply return to normal once the camera crews pack up and move onto the next story. While the March 11, 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan may seem like a distant memory to Westerners, many Japanese citizens still need help. If you're itching to help the Japanese Red Cross but need a little extra kick in the pants, auctioning off [http://www.cosplayforacause.com/index.html] a signed calendar, featuring autographs from each of the eighteen costumed cuties who posed.

Cosplay for a Cause notes that much of Japan still feels the "continuing repercussions" of March's natural disaster, and underwent considerable effort to get every girl (as well as the male artists) involved to sign the calendar. This was no mean feat, as the twenty-odd participants live in seven countries, ranging from Canada to Russia, and the USA to the Philippines. The auction continues until January 26, 2012, and will ship the calendar just about anywhere in the world. Those interested in bidding should be prepared to set aside a considerable sum, though; as of the time of writing, the auction sits at $330 with 33 bids. If your tastes skew a little cheaper, of course, you could always purchase the regular calendar [http://www.cosplayforacause.com/buy.html] for $18. Either way, 100% of the proceeds benefit the Japanese Red Cross.

The calendar itself [http://www.cosplayforacause.com/calendar.html] is fairly simple: It includes January 2012 through December 2012, with January 2013 thrown in for good measure. Eighteen expert cosplayers lent their abilities to the calendar, representing a wide swath of Japanese videogames and anime. Four comic book artists edited the photos and created appropriate backgrounds, giving the whole production a slightly surreal, animated feel. Some of the photos are alluring, but all of them appear tasteful, so you could probably get away with hanging this one up at work. Of course, if you decide to take it home and keep it to yourself, we won't judge you. Much.

Bravo. Although I already have a calendar, I shall try to buy one for support on my next payday.

I wonder if Valve will pull the same as last year with TF2 Support hats, surprisingly it both worked and 100% went to the cause and not their wallets

Well good, and here I was wondering what to get for a 2012 calendar. There's one item checked off my to-do list, then.

OT: If I had money, this would be the first calendar I ever bought. But this is a really cool idea, I admit I had all but forgotten about the tsunami, sucks to hear that some people are still struggling after that tragedy.

I'm really happy to see Yaya Han on their. I'm not up on the professional cosplay scene too much, but Yaya is a really nice lady. Back when I worked for an anime site got the opportunity to meet and interview her several times.

Nice lady, very pretty, and apprently works for good causes :3
