What got you into cosplay?
My sister always was showing me cosplayers and told me we should go to a convention one day, so in 2004, I did!
What was your first costume and why?
Aeris from FFVII, it's a long story. I'll try to sum it up real quick. My sister was playing FFVII, I saw that I had a dress like that in the closet but it was black. I wore it with some boots, fixed my hair a bit and showed my sister, she thought it was cool. Later that night she finished disk one, I was sick at the time. She looked down and saw a pale Aeris wearing black and totally freaked out at me.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite costume would have to be when I made a Cid (FFVII) costume for a friend and took some pics in it. I really didn't think it would work with the fabric I chose, and when it looked ok all together I was wicked happy!
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I one day, vow to do Felicia from Darkstalkers, I loved that game when I was younger, I saw the anime once, and saw the cartoon that used to be on at like 7 AM in the morning all the time, good times.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
I think probably the first time I went to Otakon 2004, the responce was so much more than I ever expected. ^^
Do you participate in masquerades?
I haven't yet, people in the halls tell me I should but I just don't feel like I'm that good to be on stage or anything.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Well, I won a local Anime Syracuse award, I won two years in a row so I have some extra Anime DVDs in my collection! XDD Really, I don't watch Anime much at all, so...maybe I will sell them someday. ^^
Tell us a little about yourself
Well, I'm trying to find a job now. As for hobbies, I like to go for walks and just be outside. ^^
