What got you into cosplay?
I always cosplay with my family and friends. So this page is not just mine alone, but our
group's. My family has always dressed up in all types of costumes for different events, so
when we went to my very first convention, we had the time of our lives. We have been cosplaying ever since, and have NEVER been to a con that we haven't dressed up for.
What was your first costume and why?
I'm pretty sure my first cosplay costume was a Sailor Moon costume that my grandmother made
me for halloween when I was a kid. My mom went as Tuxedo Mask and my cousin went as Sailor
V. Other than that, the first cosplay I ever wore to an anime convention was Naraku from
Inuyasha. Then the first cosplay group we ever did with my friends and family was the Inuyasha gang.
What is your favorite costume and why?
We've made so many.. It's hard to choose... Well, I love them all! But I think our Final Fantasy 7 costumes are/will be my favourite. SO much is going into that cosplay. But I also am looking foreward to Our Interview with the Vampire cosplay so badly I want to cry! Ohh, And When we do Trinity Blood! I get to be Issak Fernand Von Kampher! I'm so excited! AHahah, they are all my favourites XD
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Well, All of the costumes I'm planning for the next few cons are my dream costumes! Final Fantasy was my dream cosplay group, and it's coming true!!! Costumes will Debut for Fanexpo 07! Look foreward to it!!! *Also reaaaallly badly want to do Orochimaru and Jiraiya from Naruto, but currently have no events lined up for it*
Oh yeah, don't tell anyone, it's a secret, but I plan on making a magical yaoi box for a con soon. Big enough for ppl to fit inside! ;)
Everyone: It's not so secret anymore...
Me: Oh. crap! ><
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
When we went as the Bleach group, we were bombarded by photographers. We couldn't move an inch without someone wanting to take our picture. We got alot of Interviews too. It actually feels pretty good, because my mom and I made all 7 costumes ourselves, and it makes you feel kinda proud :D
Do you participate in masquerades?
We want to. REEAAALLY badly.But it's alot of work,
considering we usually have 7 or 8 people to account for, so it gets really crazy. We hope that sometime soon we can be organized enough
to put a show on. I would love to do the Hona Sayanara dance from the bleach musical on stage. I've been teaching everyone the steps :P
*update* We may be doing a skit for our Final Fantasy cosplay! Let's just say it includes Yaoi, incessed, clones, imposters, and secrets revealed!
What was your best masquerade experience?
Well, just because we havn't been in one, doesn't mean we haven't been to every single one!! I have to say, My favourite act ever was a Bleach one from Fanexpo 2006. It was called "Why Yaoi should not be in Bleach" I'm pretty sure you can get it on Youtube. And while you're there, check out this really short video some random person posted of me and my brother Nik when I was teaching him the sayonara dance.. I had no clue we were being filmed until I came across the video myself! It's called "Bleach ... the Musical - Fan Expo Canada 2006"
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Actually, I won best costume at a halloween dance at my school for my Haku costume (from Naruto) but otherwise, we've never really entered any contests that we could win awards for. There's also a video on youtube that I appear in as Haku. It's the Savage Bandito show episode 24 You must watch this show! I'm a regular guest :P
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm a freak! Who is obsessed with all anime and loves to draw. And I'm Obsessed with Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. (Interview with the Vampire) I sew like crazy, in fact, I just finished 5 costumes (Loveless), and I'm making 5 more for AN (Tsubasa/RGVeda) plus 5 Ball gowns/outfits for the Masquerade ball. Then for Fanexpo I'm Making/putting together/supervising 8 Final Fantasy AC Costumes, PLUS I made my friend a Shuichi costume (from Gravitation) For AN, and I'm helping make a ball gown fashioned after Reira's from Nana for another friend. That's not counting the 7 Trinity Blood costumes I'm making for AN 08, and the 6 Interview with the Vampire Costumes for Fanexpo 08. I may even be making two others if I can make it to Otacon this year. *My dream* Yeah.. can you say, No life?
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Well, I guess I should tell you who our group consists of: Me, Master (Aka my mom) my brothers, They are Identical twins. One is Nikolas, and one's Keirris. That is my family, but We've also never cosplayed without my best friend Danielle.(who practically lives with us anyway) Those are the people who never change in our group. But we have had other friends tag along, like James, the reeeeaally short kid with the bleach blonde hair who cosplayed Toushiro in our Bleach group. Then there's Joann, who cosplayed as Hanatarou in our Bleach group, and once borrowed my Naraku costume for our Inuyasha group, and Shiva, who's gone as Zabuza from Naruto. I'll add in all our other guests once our costumes get a little more progress XD
Bleach and Inuyasha are not the
only things we've cosplayed, those have just been our biggest projects so far.
My favorite anime
Bleach, which is closely tied with Deathnote and Final Fantasy Advent Children for first place. (Can I do that? lol) I'm also obsessed with Tsubasa, XXX holic, Loveless, Trinity Blood, and Ouran high school host club.
My favorite game(s)
Well, I really suck at video games... But I really like the Final Fantasy series. (Even though I've never played them cuz I SUCK!) But I am pretty good at Naruto: Clash of ninja. I PWN as Haku.

My favorite movies(s)
ADVENT CHILDREN!!!!! And Interview with the Vampire! (P.S. I HATED the Queen of the damned, it was an abomination and a mockery of Anne Rice's best work. I would for every copy of that movie and any proof it ever existed to kindly dissapear and never be heard from again. that is all) I also really liked the Deathnote movie, And the Tsubasa and XXXHolic movies were great. I can't wait to see the Bleach movie, and I'm looking forward to seeing Uzumaki, Even though it's old and I heard it was low budjet. I don't care! I wanna see it! I also really like Both Ju-on movies, and I like the chinese movie Set to kill.
My favorite actors/actresses
Uwahhhhh.... The Japanese Voice actor for Sasuke and Ishida from Naruto and bleach (Noriaki
Sugiyama) Has the Sexiest voice in the world. and the most Gorgeous singing voice I've ever heard! (check out Bleach Beat collections: Ishida Uryuu To hear his heartmelting voice)
I Love Paul Dobson Who does the english voice dub for Naraku and Myoga from Inuyasha. I don't usually watch anime in english, but this man is the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. He has such a beautiful voice. I met him at my very first con, and have ever since been friends. Now, You might be like "yeah right" but it's true. Every con We always have really nice conversations. I look forward to seeing him at any con he visits. I tonnes of pics of us together. He always remembers me, even when I'm in a different costume. Love ya Paul!
