What got you into cosplay?
I love animation, and I love to dress up.
What was your first costume and why?
My first anime convention costume was Felicia. I've always loved her, and finally got the guts to do her costume. I dig her wig, and I dig her personality. Before that I'd done many other costumes as halloween costumes.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite costume so far Marie Antionette and Der Tod. Both were really sparkly and fun to wear (though painful!)
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I'd love to do more Der Tod-like costumes and some sparkly fantasy costumes. Nothing in particular though.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Having Richard Taylor really like our Lord of the Rings costumes and skit at Comic Con 2003 and getting to hold his Oscar. O_o...
What was your best masquerade experience?
PMX 2005
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Best in Show and Best Anime at San Diego Comic Con 2007, Best in Show and Best Anime for Trinity Blood at World Con 2006, Best in Show at Fanime 2006 for Oscar and Andre, Best in Show Presentation PMX 2005 for Der Tod, Most Beautiful: Comic-Con 2005 for Marie Antionette, Technical Achievement Fanime 2005 for Marie Antionette, Best Craftsmanship/Walkon Anime Overdose 2004 for Sumire (Musical), Best in Show - San Diego Comic-Con and Best in Show - Baycon 2003 as ARWEN and ARAGORN (part of ORC), Honorable Mention, Craftsmanship, Individual for SHIVA at AX 2002, Best Costume for ANGELA at the first Gathering of the Gargoyles
