Well, I am a 25 year old girl just starting her life for the second time. I recently got divorced from my husband and now have a new loving boyfriend with whom I'm very happy. ^__^ I'm trying to piece my life back together and become a better person and even though I have been through a lot in the last year I am very optimistic and looking forward to the future. ^__^

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 Princess Peach (as of the moment! XDD) I worked really hard on Peach and I am so happy with it right now! ^__^ All this is, of course, scheduled to change when I find my new cosplay obsession! XDD My favorite costume to wear though, of course is Aerith from FFVI: Advent Children, I love representing Aerith as much as I can. ^__^ I <3 her. ^__^
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. XDD
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 working at a small craft store. I try to help out customers but they are usually looking for a good ribbon color to put in their scrapbooks...not how to make a piece of foam look like armor. X__X Hobbies include anything that has to do with entertainment, singing, acting, comedy, movies all sorts of things like that, I recently did a movie in my Peach cosplay. ^__^ Link to the craziness right here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iYiCYM_5qM&feature=channel_page Beware of the crappy editing! XDD It's so lame but I like to think it's lamely funny. XDD
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Samus is next! ^__^
