What got you into cosplay?
Halloween was always a big deal for me, and well, once I learned that my high school buddies got dressed up for conventions I decided to give it a try with them. I've been to conventions before then without cosplay, and I just gotta say: cosplay makes everything at least time times better! Conventions are much more fun if you dress up with friends!
What was your first costume and why?
First cosplay EVER would be Sailor Jupitor LOL. My first cosplay at a convention was Riku from Kingdom Hearts II. Why? Well... because I love him so that's why!
What is your favorite costume and why?
As of now, Germany because the costume is comfortable and because I get to hang with fellow Hetalia cosplayers who are SO FUNNY AND AWESOME. Hetalia is crack so basically everything is acceptable xD
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Haha should I make a list? There are a lot... -Zack Fair (FF7) -Sephiroth (FF7) -Reno (FF7) -Squall (FF8) -Kuja (FF9) -Brera Sterne (Macross Frontier) -Denmark (Hetalia) -Sweden (Hetalia) -Leon (Resident Evil) -Wesker (Resident Evil) -Badou (DOGS) God there's so much I want to do!!!
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Otakon 2009: Biddy Hotel Room, Mustache Party, Hot Tub Party... just so many crazy things happened that year xD
Do you participate in masquerades?
Not yet. I don't even get to watch them anymore because I'm too busy running around at cons!
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm an art major at the University of Delaware. Not exactly sure how I'm going to be able to cosplay out of my tiny tiny dorm, but I'm going to try! Aside from cosplay I also dabble in fanfiction and digital painting. I'm completely obsessed with video games (I brought most my systems and games t college with me ho ho). I'm also working on an original story but um... who knows where that's going~
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Well, I hope to one day graduate with a BFA Visual Communications and a minor in Japanese, and with those I then hope to get a job that doesn't suck and that I enjoy doing. I also hope to improve my sewing and weapon making skills so that I can make better costumes :/
