What got you into cosplay?
It was September 2001 and my friend NeoQueenUsagi was telling me about this convention she heard of in March in Seatac, Washington. Myself and another friend decided to go with her, that it would be fun. Of course, NeoQueenUsagi wanted to cosplay. That's how I got talked into cosplaying.
What was your first costume and why?
Like most people, my first costume was from Sailor Moon. I was Michiru Kaiou from Sailor Moon S. It was the school uniform for Winter. I remember being at my friend's place the night before and her sewing it. While it wasn't that great of a costume, I still have a lot of good memories in it.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My human Luna costume. Why? Well, it's comfortable, beautiful and fun. Most of my friends want me to wear it to every convention I go to. I really love the costume as a whole.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Right now... Ran Fujimiya's outfit from when he's in Crashers. It's made out of leather, and there are so many zippers, buckles and belts. It's insane. I'm insane, but I so want to make that costume one of these days.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Sakura-Con 2007 on Friday. A bunch of other Sailor Moon cosplayers met up together and this little girl dressed as Tuxedo Mask came up with a group of Inner Senshi. The little girl was so adorable. I knelt down in front of her and handed her my rose. Someone managed to catch a picture of it, and it's the cutest thing in the world!
Do you participate in masquerades?
I used to all the time. But, once I left Miracle Senshi, the cosplay group I used to be apart of, I stopped. I plan to once in a while with certain costumes. I have a few ideas that I want to enact.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Kumori-Con 2004. I was still apart of Miracle Senshi and we performed 'Broken Mobius' from the Sailor Moon Musicals as Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. We had a blast in that performance.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Not that I'm aware of.
