What got you into cosplay?
A friend showed me this website and I thought it was soo cool.
What was your first costume and why?
I wanted to dress up as a fairy at the South Florida Renaissance Festival. I went to the costume stores and all the fairy costumes were very expensive and cheap looking. I decided to go to the rag shop and $60 later I had yards of fabric, sequins, and silk leaves. I went to town hand sewing this costume and it actually came awesome.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Evil-Zukin - I love playing DDR and I always wanted to cosplay one of the characters. I made her costume for a skit my group did at AFO. I completely hand sewed the entire costume which took a couple of months but I was really happy with the progress. I did wear it unfinished for our skit. I finally finished it and entered it in the costume contest for Megacon 06 and won Honerable Mention.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Yu Park from Daphne in the Brilliant Blue
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Going to public places in costume and watching people's reactions XD
Do you participate in masquerades?
yes
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
'Best in Show' for the skit contest at Metrocon 05. 'Honorable Mention' for Evil-Zukin at Megacon 06. 'Best Costume/Public Location' for Skyler Azure at PlayNC 06
