What got you into cosplay?
Our anime club took a field trip to Anime Boston. All of my friends were making costumes, and you know how peer pressure is...
What was your first costume and why?
Asuka from Evangelion, the blue school uniform - because I had just seen the Evangelion series and I was, needless to say, completely obsessed.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Ichimaru Gin. I love the man.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
it's constantly changing, but right now my dream is an OrgXIII coat from KH2.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
the months of prep, practice, and hard work that went into the Bad Luck cosplay band.
Do you participate in masquerades?
You bet.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Rock Musical Bleach
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Best role-play for Asuka at the harvard cosplay chess November 2004, Judges Award at AnimeNEXT 2005, Judges Award at AnimeBoston 2006
