I make stories in my head and sew little things here and there. I try my best to work my own cosplays. I am happy to look at you and yours. I have much to learn, please take care of me.

What got you into cosplay?
I have always adored dress-up. For most of my young years I had a bin under my bed all stuffed with costume bits I found at yard sales. Halloween costumes became my favorite anime characters--I can remember making an Ash Ketchum/Satoshi costume in fourth grade. SakuraCon2007 was my first conscious dip into the dynamic Con Culture as Lulu from Final Fantasy X.
What was your first costume and why?
Unwittingly: Ash from Pokemon. I cosplayed him when I was about 9. I believe it was a year or two later that my brother and I went trick-or-treating as Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Neptune~I have long lost pictures from that. My first convention costume was Lulu from Final Fantasy X. The costume was created by my Auntie for a Halloween party in 2006, though it made a lovely reappearance for SakuraCon2007.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Shizuma, such a wig. Long wigs sing to my soul~
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Fran and Sera Myu Neptune.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Walking through Seattle, all dolled up as Kagome, and having some young lady scream at me: "We love you Sailor Moon~!" Oh, how often she gets confused for Sailor Jupiter.
