What got you into cosplay?
I love seeing all the costumes in Anime and games and whatnot and it inspires me to dress up.
What was your first costume and why?
Alice in Wonderland. (Dark version.) I pieced it together, truth be told. I just wanted to wear SOMETHING to my first con. Lol.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service! I wore this to the world Cosplay Summit in 2012 and it was a hit!
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Glinda's Bubble Gown from Wicked.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
At WCS 2012, I ran into an all Ghibli group! They had no Kiki and they all freaked out when I walked by. They even insisted that I join them for some photos. Even with the language barrier it was really sweet!
Do you participate in masquerades?
Nope~
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Nope~ Not That talented. X'D
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm an English teacher living in Japan. I married my high school sweetheart on December 4th, 2010. I have a twin sister who also cosplays (DreamKitty) and she is much better at sewing than I am! I really want to learn, but my Japanese apartment is too freaking small to fit a sewing area!
