Icons of the performance art known as cosplay, sisters Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao – though opposite in temperament - have endeared themselves to millions of their young fans with their good-mannered yet perky personalities, and of course, drop-dead gorgeous looks.
The lissome and artistic twosome got into cosplay in their early teens, collecting many awards in competitions here and abroad. They’re now 23 and 21, still heavily into cosplaying, lately venturing into successful commercial endorsements of online games, fashion, telecoms, food and health drink.
Reflective and polite, the elder sister – Alodia - who stands 5’4, placed 76th in the 2010 FHM 100 sexiest women poll. Another plaudit came her way when she was named one of the most influential women in the Philippines by a local glossy for inspiring many women to cosplay.
At 5’5, younger sister Ashley or Ash is the sportier one and dabbles in photography which she does professionally despite only having learned it from the web. She plays the lead guitar for the all-girl band, Yes Ma'am (formerly known as Hymn of Siren), and even records her own songs and posts them on her blog. A tad naughtier, Ash even contemplates being a ‘yaya’ if she weren’t into cosplay or the arts. Don’t you just lurve her?
Their strong influence with the younger generation made them incontestable brand endorsers for the new Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass RTD, billed as the best health drink in the Philippines.
“It’s perfectly blended and very convenient. Just the right amount of sweetness which I really love. Just chill it, shake it well and you’re good to go,” Alodia said.
Younger sister Ashley added, "I’m into sports. I played volleyball from seventh grade to my fourth year in high school. I give importance to my health. When I drink a can in the morning, nawawala yung tamad vibe ko. As much as I want to be healthy, I don’t like vegetables. Good thing that with this RTD wheatgrass, I can do a lot of amazing things.” Ashley thinks she’s fat even if her legions of fans think otherwise.
Being health-conscious is not just for adults. Take it from cosplay goddesses Alodia and Ashley who swear they can change for the good by establishing a healthy lifestyle while still young. Like balancing their diet with the Good Drink.
