This Mother Of 2 From Kelantan Is Unapologetically Slaying At Cosplay

According to Astro Awani, the 26-year-old from Pengkalan Chepa, Kota Bharu enjoys dressing up as Barbie because her face is widely recognised as the world's most famous doll.

Shafieqa, who goes by 'Fykaaschaa Kaka' online, said she began creating these extraordinary looks in the style of Barbie to overcome her poor self-esteem.

"However, because I love to try new things, I also tried make-up that looked like Barbie, mummies, vampires, and even one that was 'Naagin'-inspired," she said, "And it eventually caught the attention of social media."

"As always though, some people were rude while some gave their compliments," she added.

She said the characters are usually chosen from anime or popular children's animations, reported Harian Metro. Most of her clothing and accessories are purchased from China, Thailand, and Korea.

"So far I have spent over RM30,000 on cosplay, including over 30 different types of wigs, mascots, costumes, accessories, and make-up," she shared.

"Usually if the shooting requires pairing and holding, my husband will join me. And for each character given, I will do some research at least one day before the shoot," she said.

In addition to being a part-time model, Shafieqa and her husband Mohd Sharifuddin Ab Halim Sivanesan, 36, also run multiple businesses, such as renting out mascot costumes, selling contact lenses, and training new models.
