What got you into cosplay?
Long story short, I was studying abroad with a friend in England, and since we had no TV we watched what was available to us via the internet- ie anime (before that I hated anime). When I was looking for more to watch on youtube one day I discovered cosplay, and I swore never to be one of "those people." Two months later I was begging my friend to go over to the dark side with me. She said yes, so here I am (I love my Winry/Lighto, lol).
What was your first costume and why?
Ed Elric- Because FMA showed me the light. It's what made me fall in love with anime.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Right now it's my Ed costume, just because it's the only one of the two that took real effort. I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt at making my own costume.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I'm obsessed with my vision of Halloween Town Axel- which is currently in the works. Now, if I can just find the right wig and figure out how to make a proper widow's peak, that'd be great.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Arriving at my first convention. My friend and I were so scared- we had no idea what to expect! We were slightly afraid we'd see something that would scar us for life and we'd never want to go to a con again, lol.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Not as of yet.
