What was your first costume and why?
My first costume was Nausicaa from Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind. She's my all time favorite character ever.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Hmm, right now it's my onion knight costume. The helmet turned out 100 times better than I thought it would. What makes it my favorite is the fact that it is a fully-made-from-scraps costume. All the fabric was leftover from my fibers classes, the funfoam from my craft cabinet, boot covers from the box of halloween costumes, and the hangers from my drycleaning. The only thing I bought was dollar store cutting mats (for the exposed metal parts of my helmet) and the feathers. Thats it. Oh, and I also love it because I get to wear my brown crocks =P Any cosplay that doesn't require heels gets an A in my book.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Right now? Frimelda... let's see if it stays a dream.. heh
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
When I found an FFT group at Otakon 04 when I did not expect to
Do you participate in masquerades?
No, not yet. Mostly because I staff most the cons I go to, so I'm uneligable. But I'd like to someday.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Not yet, but I hope I do soon!
