What got you into cosplay?
Initially, I started cosplaying for Halloween in 1999, but after meeting a group of good friends, who cosplayed at conventions, I became more interested.
The first time I attended A-Kon in 2003, I was amazed at all the intricate detailing and endless effort cosplayers put into their art. Then I created my first "real" cosplay from scratch, and that was when I decided cosplay was for me.
Many years later, Ven and I decided to form our own cosplay group: Deep Dive! [http://www.jwsanime.com/deepdive/]
What was your first costume and why?
Makoto Kino from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon for Halloween 1999
What is your favorite costume and why?
Final Fantasy XIII: Noctis - It was a lot of fun to wear, and I got to make a crazy sword!
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I would have say that all of my cosplays are dream costumes. If there's something I want to do, then I go for it! I learn a lot from the process - even if I have to redo/remake various parts. 8D;;
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Oh so many. But mainly hanging out with friends. Good times.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Yarrrrrrr, sometimes~ 8D
What was your best masquerade experience?
Anime Boston 2008
