What got you into cosplay?
My brother dressed as Buu from DBZ and after how many pictures he got taken of him I thought "I can do that too!"
What was your first costume and why?
Milly Thompson because I'm pretty much Milly Thompson already - I look like her, act like her, say wrong words and LOVE pudding! Trigun is my favorite anime so it's all fallen into place!
What is your favorite costume and why?
I'd have to say my Trigun Maximum Milly coat - I got to use the right fabrics and get the right look for the costume. I loved my original Milly coat, and I love my Rain Jewlitt too, but I'm Milly through and through.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Kuronika - a character from Trigun Maximum - she's a plant from earth - I have her hair but she wears a skin-tight space suit... *sob* Body not made for skin-tight!! T_T But I'd do her in a heartbeat, she's awesome.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Probably getting glomped and then kissed by a Vash cosplayer - plus multiple Wolfwoods during the 2004 Anime Central Con all saying something about us "being meant to be together!"
Do you participate in masquerades?
One! At Anime Punch. I'd like to do more, and more may be on the horizon.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Turning to look at the audience and realizing "Oh crap I'm on stage!" And then realizing, "They're watching ME! They have no choice!!" And then the rest just flowed and I wasn't nervous anymore.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I did win second place in a small cosplay contest at the University of Michigan (won a Gravitation manga). Didn't win anything for the masquerade, but I didn't have my best costume either.
Tell us a little about yourself
I work at JoAnn ETC (you know, cosplay costume fabric heaven!!) as a custom framer... Ah, discounts nice!! But I'm not just a retail geek 'cause I teach manga classes, working on my own manga currently (have done a few online doujinshi) plus I write fanfiction, have my own Trigun website where I translate the newest issues... That takes up a lot of time, and I'm learning CGI coloring most recently, just LOVE how manga looks colored!
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Oh yeah... I'm single. XD BWHAHAHA.
