What got you into cosplay?
I've always wished I could dress up and act like characters in video games, anime, television, and such. When I found out that there was an actual hobby the encompassed the aspect of costuming as another entity, I was on that bandwagon like Oprah on meatloaf.
What was your first costume and why?
A Team Rocket costume I made for Halloween '99, before I knew what cosplay even was! (Can I even count this as cosplay?) The earrings were made out of a green gumball cut in half, and the red R on the shirt was created with lip stick. My first real attempt at cosplaying, though, was making the female Mugen Academy uniform from Sailor Moon S. I eventually gave the costume away to a friend years later, who threw it away. ;_;
What is your favorite costume and why?
Cornet Espoire, from Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure/Puppet Princess, part of the Marl Kingdom series. Since her debut at Katsucon 2007 she has been to every con I've gone to since. I'm very proud of the craftsmanship and the accuracy of the costume, as well as how comfy and fun it is to wear!! Most rewarding, however, are the few people who recognize who I am and where I'm from. It's great to be a lesser known character done right over a popular, overdone character any day when it comes to fellow fan satisfaction.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Sailor Galaxia's fuku made out of real gold. Or a hardsuit that acts and functions like the Bubble Gum Crisis hardsuits!
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
There are a lot of small things that make up memorable experiences for me. I don't think there's enough space in this profile for me to list everything.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Affirmative.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
My FFVII Aeris/Aerith costume has a lot of little awards under it's belt, and my Lenne costume has an honorable mention. Otherwise, I really haven't entered any contests with my current costumes.
Tell us a little about yourself
I work most of the time to earn bling bling. Aside from that, I love cosplaying and attending any cosplay-associated events, and even more so I love to meet new people. Personally, I try to be a sweet, friendly person, but I can also be aloof with those who I irritate or annoy me. I'm a very patient person and I have a lot of endurance. I'm also told I'm an excelllent writer and have a colorful imagination...which I won't deny. :D
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I also fight crime as a side job, me being a super hero and all.
