What got you into cosplay?
Seeing them. The first time I saw a cosplayer and went to a con I was like "I wanna do that!!!!" It took half a year for me to do it but it was great and now I'm hooked.
What was your first costume and why?
Shuuhei Hisagi, because I was going through who I wanted to do and who would be good. My friend kept suggesting people, I'd look them up, and then finally I'm like yes. He's simple enough, but distinct kinda. Oddly enough, that wasn't the first time i had my picture taken at a con though. There was this time at Katsucon, I had pink hair, a black, collared/zippered, slightly j-rock shirt, and black jeans and some random photographer asked for my pic. I felt special :3
What is your favorite costume and why?
Axel. Hands-down. I debuted him at Otakon '08 and people loved it. I was one of the few male Axel's there, and I had the body frame, weapons, hair, and face for it. I really get into character with him, and I have sooo much fun. Hugs, pictures, smiling, dancing, what's not to love?
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
My dream cosplay? Of which I intend to make a reality as soon as I get out of high school... is a Samurai Nobody! It will be greatness. I guarantee it. Oh, and Terra from KH: Birth by Sleep. Aside from that, it's simple but a nice couple cosplay, like Axel+Roxas....or something less obvious. And when I decide to dye my hair again I'ma be j-rocking it with a lolita. Odd dreams I know, you should see what happens when I'm asleep...
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
My most memorable? Well there was the paddle bout at Ota07. That was a blast. Except I think we were some of the factors in banning the paddles from this years Otakon xP But I also think inventing my theory of NaruSasu uchiha re population was awesome. Making people laugh is my hobby and Gaara and Itachi laughed like all hell. I did it again at the CBF. She's so cute when she laughs x3
Do you participate in masquerades?
I've been in one so far. It was fun, and a rush being on stage. Nice little song about the Organization XIII being gay for each other. I had so much fun and I loved some of my group, but I want to do better. Hearing the critique of people watching, I want to do something that people will like. It's hard to think of something actually original, but I will try.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Best so far is the fun I've had with my Skit group. Maybe not the skit itself but the group I loved.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Nope, and I doubt I will. I'm pretty sure I'm never gonna make an actual costume so I won't be entering any contests u_u
Tell us a little about yourself
Goin into Shepherd University! For psychology. kekeke. And doing whatever the hell else people do in college. My family is...how you say....off. That's all I have to say. And no I don't hat emy job. At least not one of them. I'm working at a law firm x3 The other one I hate but it pays well so nyuh. Hobbies? Well, if you can find a time when I'm not in, on, or near, a computer or something otaku related I'll be damned.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I'm 18, which is to say I'm apparently mature now. I'm not so sure who decided this but hey! whatever works right? As a collective whole I hate people, but individually I like just about everyone. In particular I enjoy subtle humor, as it doesn't come any better than that. And I'm not above expressing my....thoughts, to the unsuspecting public. If I miss a part of the words in a sentence I fill them in for myself and relay them back, which at times can lead to many an awkward situation. There is one person in whole world I can love no matter where I am or what mood I'm in and that's my Weasel. I love her and would do just about anything for her, short of grand larceny. Well...maybe even grand larceny. If you haven't understood anything I just said it's probably best for you not to attempt to talk to me. And now, it's party time! P. A. R. T. Why? Because I gotta!!!
