What got you into cosplay?
I always wanted to dress up and act as the characters I loved to watch on the tube, and I finally got my first chance to do this while going to a convention at Anime USA 2003
What was your first costume and why?
In 1997, my friend and I tried to... well... make Sailor Scout outfits, they were... alright, that was Unofficially cause we never completely finished them but we had fun running around the yard in them. In 2003, I cosplayed as Ranma 1/2 cause I have long red hair, and it was the quickest thing I could throw together in 2 days ^.^
What is your favorite costume and why?
My Hakkai costume (Saiyuki!!), His costume is so comfortable and I don't get all the hot or cold in it regardless of weather (I was all nice and happy while standing in line for the concert at Otakon 2004). Plus! He has pants and the shoes I got for him are soooooooo comfy!!
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Always! There's so many of them its hard to name just one... but I guess if you got down to it, I'd always love to have a Sailor Scout outfit >.< I started as a Moonie and I'll be one till I die! Although, I'd want Sailor Pluto.... Other Costumes I would like is Shuichi's (from Gravitation) concert outfit, Aya from Supergals, Utena from the series or the movie when she has the long hair.... Oh there are so many I can't remember! Orihime from Bleach (shirt and pants outfit and the shinigami outfit) Meroko from Full Moon wo Sagashite My two friends and I want to cosplay as R3 from Chance Pop Session
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Well, it was people running up from behind me and glomping me while I wore Hakkai, but now its an occassion that happened at AUSA 2005... I was taking a break from staffing and walking around with my cat ears on, I don't recall putting the tail on... but a random person walked up and grabbed my hand, petting it asking if I was a furry and to remember her.... I still have no idea why because she ran off and I didn't see her again
Do you participate in masquerades?
Not yet, plan to one day though, is it any fun?
What was your best masquerade experience?

Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Nah, I don't go for awards... I just cosplay to cosplay
