What got you into cosplay?
A small group of friends in high school who knew what anime was, before anime went crazy in the US. We started dressing up as anime characters for Halloween and it went downhill from there! =)
What was your first costume and why?
Akane Tendo from Ranma 1/2...cost me $3 from a GoodWill dress. lol.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Dark Saber, because it's fun to wear and I get to carry a sword. And Tifa from FF AC cause it's comfy and I made is as accurate as possible.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Any Amano Final Fantasy artwork character, Oh! My Goddess (Skuld), Galaxy Fraulein Yuna (Shiori) and Revolutionary Girl Utena (Nanami and Utena). But my two dream cosplays would be Shaak-Ti from Star Wars Ep 2 & 3, and Bubble Boy from, well, Bubble Boy.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
All have been pretty memorable so far, but lately it was Megacon 08. I loved the group cosplays and the massive photoshoot was so much fun!!
Do you participate in masquerades?
No.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I won 1st place at the FYE Cosplay Contest on 7/15/07. Oh yeah...free anime goodies and a gift card! Cheesy? You bet!
