What got you into cosplay?
Probably peer pressure.
What was your first costume and why?
Just because: It was Optimus Prime when i was like 8 or 9, i thought the mask was so cool, i didnt realize people couldnt recognize me as me when i had the costume on. At a con: Jedi Garb. I wanted to do a good guy character that i liked and one that would not be immediatly labeled with a name, so i made some generic robes.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Boba Fett, Its my most detailed costume to date.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Optimus Prime.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Scott McNeal Played with my homemade lightsaber. It used to be: Meeting another ghostbuster besides Darth Takeo, thanks Rpd_girl! Appearing all over the internet on fans cosplay websites.
Do you participate in masquerades?
I try to, but I have had problems actually arranging a group to perform, also i wind up in the costume that is the "most popular" at right about that time anyway, so i get stuck in hallways and stuff.
What was your best masquerade experience?
all the same
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Honorable mention(anime usa - JEDI) and "I aint afraid of no peeps" award (EVE CON - Ghostbusters).
