What got you into cosplay?
I'm an artist and love making things with my hands as well as dressing up in weird clothes; it was a logical step.
What was your first costume and why?
Naga from the Slayers. I love Slayers, and Naga's hilarious. Plus it fed into my exhibitionist tendencies...
What is your favorite costume and why?
Usually the most recent one.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I have a whole binder full of dream costumes. Le sigh...
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Getting photos of my Morpheus costumes posted on Neil Gaiman's blog. Unfortunately he wasn't able to see them in person at Worldcon 2003.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Participate, staff, judge; I pretty much live at masquerades. XD
What was your best masquerade experience?
Winning Best Workmanship in Class and Most Beautiful Presentation at Worldcon 2003. XD
