What got you into cosplay?
Um... my natural nerdiness?
What was your first costume and why?
My first costume was an average pirate costume. Not anything out of the ordinary, just made up of different "piratey" items of clothing mixed together.
Unless you count halloween costumes as a child... Those would include the usual Belle, Jasmine and Ariel (though I had my grandmother sew the costumes for me, as opposed to buying them).
What is your favorite costume and why?
So far, my favorite costume I've completed is my Nabooru costume, although I was very sad when not many people knew who Nabooru was, EVEN THOUGH she's only from one of the most popular games of all time.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Hmm... probably. There are a few I can think of that I would like but would be incredibly hard to pull off...
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
It's such a good story, but I can't really tell it in public...
