10 YEAR OLD GIRL REINVENTS HER IDENTITY THROUGH COSPLAY

From foster care to the MAGICAL world of cosplay, a young girl’s dreams become reality after being adopted by a photography loving couple. 10-year-old Alice Lewis has assumed the identity of Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy of Oz and Joan of Arc, thanks to her photographer mum and cosplay, a performance art which uses costumes and fashion accessories. For years Alice played make-believe while she dreamed of the day she had a happily ever after with a family of her own, which she found, aged 7, when she was adopted by James and Kelly Lewis, from Atlanta, Georgia.
