What got you into cosplay?
I had heard vaguely about cosplay from a few friends (cheers to Hime no Toki =D) over on a ufocatcher jap. plushie message board we all moderated at. I look around and became fascinated at the concept instantly, and then i saw the X-play special from Fanime a couple years back and i knew i *HAD* to get into it.
What was your first costume and why?
Summoner Yuna because Final Fantasy X was the cool thing at the time. I didn't have the skills or funds to do Lulu, so Yuna was my first costume XD
What is your favorite costume and why?
DJ Iroha from Beatmania IIDX. Comfy cute costume is comfy
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
FINALLY made Luther Lansfeld from Star Ocean Till the End of Time in the beginning of this year....I need a serious break before i pick up another "dream costume" X__x
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
I don't think i can pick just one, ALL my cosplay experiences are wonderful ones because i'm surrounded by so many fabulous people.
Tekko04 (Meeting and becoming soulmated uber buddies with Maester Seymour and Natalie), AnimeNext05 (Crack Crew super ninja con!), Otakon05 (Meeting Chibik3r0, Ochika, Stipper Vash, and Voltz and NEVER leaving the same again XD), and Ohayocon06 (Akatsuki luffs with Ochika, Maester Seymour, and LousyItachi) are definitely in the top spots.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Just once. Would like to again though!
What was your best masquerade experience?
While it thus far is the only one, Ohayocon masq. was definitely a lot of fun.
