Miyu

What got you into cosplay?
I like playing dress-up. :3
What was your first costume and why?
My first anime-oriented costume was Princess Serenity from Sailormoon for Halloween '97. I don't really count it as my first cosplay because I didn't know what cosplay was at the time. My first intentional cosplay was of Aerith in Jan the next year. The first costume I ever did at a con was in '99, and that was Sailormars.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Eva Friedel. Because she's a dead opera singer haunting a spaceship, duh.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Maaaaaybeee...
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Being interviewed by two different television stations in one day while wearing my DOAX bikini at AX 2005.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Yeah, I used to. My last was in 2002.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Winning craftsmanship for Eva Friedel and dedicating it to my mom. It made her really happy.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Yep.
Tell us a little about yourself
No.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I'm not particularly interesting.
