skasumi

I'm currently in college on a Communication Arts track. I hope to someday become a magazine/newspaper writer and eventually pen my own novels. Other than writing I enjoy a wide variety of things, I'm one of those people who dabbles in everything but isn't particularly good at one specific thing, lol.

What got you into cosplay?
Originally it was because I loved Halloween but I hated using store bought outfits. When I did wear them, I always dressed them up by adding extra accessories. I finally managed to talk my mother into sewing some outfits for me when I was 13/14 and went as Sailor Jupiter one Halloween and Princess Serenity the next.
What was your first costume and why?
My first truly homemade costume was Princess Serenity. I wanted it so badly because Sailor Moon is my favorite anime and was really the door opener into the anime and convention worlds. My first 'cosplay' costume was Purim from Secret of Mana because it's my favorite video game and I wanted to do something I hadn't seen a lot of people do.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Lol, I really only have two but so far it's my Princess Daisy costume. Being a princess is so much fun! :D
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Yes. Someday I'd like to do Eternal Sailor Moon. Someday when I'm 30lbs lighter and I have the patience to make those wings.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
When I was at A-kon 19 and over the course of those three days I had all sorts of little kids come up to me and want to take pictures with me in my Daisy costume. I felt like one of the characters at Disneyland, it was totally awesome. <3
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm a 19 year old college student and I work part time for my father's renovation company (so exciting I know). I'm a geek fo' sho'; I love video games, especially corny super magical ones (although I'm never against playing Silent Hill or Fatal Frame). Actually, I'm really into horror stuff as well, whether it be books, movies, games, tales, etc. I also really love meeting fellow cosplayers & geeks and I like to think I'm easy to talk to. So if you see me give me a 'wut wut'!
