What got you into cosplay?
When I went to my first con (Otakon 2003), I felt strangely out of place being in normal clothes. I've always liked costumes and dressing up, so I thought it would be a fun idea to try.
What was your first costume and why?
Battousai from Ruruoni Kenshin (or Samurai X). The main outfit was comissioned, but the accessories and sword were home-made (aww). I also styled a wig for the poor thing a year later. As for why I chose this cosplay? I simply like the character and Trust and Betrayl was amazing.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Fuu is insanely comfortable, but KOS-MOS is a lot of fun to wear (except for the awkward inability to sit comfortably).
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I don't really have a dream costume as much as I have a dream to have the skills I need to accomplish certain tasks on a costume. I've spent a lot of time researching ways to make parts and then realize half of what I need I don't have access too or can't really spend the cash for.
A Cosplay Dream would to have an unlimited supply of the fabric you need sitting in your closet.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Not many people recognize the Major, but when they do, man, do they ever. A girl at Otakon 2006 went nuts and it was amazing!
And also, all of the little random things that happen at cons with friends are awesome.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Nope
What was your best masquerade experience?
N/A
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Yunie (StarDustShadow) gave me her Judge's Award at Yatta! 2005 for Ein.
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm currently attending college for Electronic Media & Film. I've been blessed with a very supporitive family and some of the best friends anyone could ask for. As for hobbies, I looove snowboarding even though I can't toeside for crap. I do like reading, going to the movies, occasionaly playing piano, and of course, shopping.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Most of my gallery is comprised of Photoshoots I've done for my friends. Photography is something I never thought I'd get into, but here I am, practically calling dibs on photoshoots for certain cosplays.
