What got you into cosplay?
I dunno. Just looked fun.
What was your first costume and why?
Yuki, from Silent Mobius. Mostly because i look like her, I love her character, and hardly anyone cosplays Silent Mobius ^^ Me and my friend decided that WE WERE GONNA DO IT and enlisted the help of her dad to make the costumes. She went as Kiddy, and we were a hit at the con. After that, I realized I loved to cosplay!
What is your favorite costume and why?
Urahara Kisuke, because its the first costume that I've done mostly on my own (I really can't sew, so my sister helped me with that, but yea, I did a lot my self ^^) Also, this was by far the most wearable costume I've done, I didn't want to take it off. (Except for walking in Geta in the cold ><) Plus. Who DOESN'T love geta-boshi?
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Sailor Galaxia, Sailor Moon If i did it, it would have to be done right ^^ I'm actually planning this one now since I'm more comfortable with sewing and crafting stuff outta...uh...other stuff.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Positive: Walking through the halls at Katsu '07 and having people going "It's the Count! It's the Count!" And tipping my hat at them. Negative: Well. Not really negative, just annoying. People thinking Yuki and Kiddy were from Hellsing and people thinking Ritz was from .Hack//Sign. It only bothered me a little though ^^
Do you participate in masquerades?
Not yet. Maybe someday... I have a heck of a lotta fun watchin' them!
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Nope. Only entered once though ^^
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm a senior at GMU and live at home with my surprisingly supportive family. I never imagined that they would help me so much with something they thought was so insane. I can be at a complete deadlock of how to make something for a costume, walk downstairs and say something and get the greatest ideas ^^. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, one of the cats being my pride and joy. I love what I do at my job, but hate my job. After graduating, I'm taking a break from my career goals and sitting down to a nice...desk job.
