Stolen from Trini ^^



01. What was your First Cosplay?
-Technically, my FIRST "cosplay",once I knew what Cosplay actually was, was Raven from Teen Titans when I was 14. But the First costume I ever wore to a convention was Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist.

02. Did someone get you into cosplay? Or on your own?
-I've always been into costuming, when I was little I had this Esmeralda costume from the Disney movie that I never wanted to take off,I loved wearing it and pretending I was her and as I grew up I noticed that passion for costuming hadn't changed,I was always dressing up like people/characters I admired and when I finally was old enough to understand what Cosplay was I realized that I had found the perfect hobby. At first I was only able to get costumes on Halloween because I was in middle school but once I was in High School and made friends that were into the same things, I was introduced to Anime Conventions. So I started racking up costumes and have continued to do so ever since. It's been 8 going on 9 years.

03. What is your favorite cosplay?
-Harley Quinn and Lust, I wear them the most.

04. Which is your least favorite?

-As adorable as Toadette is, that wig is a pain in the ass and it gets hot with the hat T_T so I don't like wearing it longer than I have to! Although, the dress itself is very comfy.

And dealing with Harley Quinn's hat + Make-up makes me so angry, so that part of cosplaying Harls is my least favorite as well.

05. At conventions, do people compliment you on your cosplays?
All the time! As Selene and HQ I can't walk two feet without getting attacked for pictures,literally attacked its scary. >_<

07. What are the top 5 on your list of "Want to Cosplay"?

1) Xena Warrior Princess, Im not joking, I'm a HUGE Xena fan! I've watched the show since I was twelve.
2) Princess Zelda! -Twilight Princess [VG] She's my number two ultimate cosplay dream.
3) Ame Comi Harley Quinn, I love the fact that the costume is so jester like,more so than Harley's original design, with the curled boots and bells, it makes me squee,I WILL have it.
4) Lady Death = Lady Death Comics - COMING SOON!
5) Midna- Twilight Princess [VG]

08. What female cosplay do you want to do most?

-Its a tie between Princess Zelda and Midna, both costumes are absolutely beautiful and I would LOVE to have them in my closet as soon as I have the money to start working on them.

09. What male cosplay do you want to do most?

-I am actually thinking about doing Alucard from Hellsing in the outfit that he is first seen in at the beginning of the series.[first episode in the basement]

10. What do you prefer to do, make or buy your costumes?

-Its a little bit of both actually, I tend to find a lot of good articles of clothing in stores that I can use towards cosplay and the pieces of the costume that I know are no where to be found I have made from scratch or alter something I have to look like the costume.I sew but I'm not epic so depending on how complex the costume is sometimes I need help.

Actually my Jill Valentine =[link] was found in stores,i found a great pair of cargo pants and the top and just sewed on the patch myself,the hat I was lucky enough to find on sale as well.I'm missing the shoulder pads but I will make those later.

11. Your most memorable experience? What makes it so memorable?

I would probably have to say it was my Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist cosplay:[link] , which I wear a lot, I've had people throw themselves at my feet and ask me to marry them.One guy, I hadn't even gotten into the registration area yet and he asked me for my phone number xD It's the epic boobage I have I know it. hahaha

As Selene from Underworld a guy came up to me and said he'd marry me for my boots XD lawl Lots of Marriage proposals.

12. Your dream cosplay?

- Xena Warrior Princess,I know a guy who makes replicas of the suit,its going to cost me an arm and a leg but I will have it once I can start buying it piece by piece.

13. Is there a pattern in your cosplays? If so, what?

-Uhm, well usually If I see a character I really like and look like or feel I can relate to then I want to cosplay them, I'm a bad ass tough cookie so most of my cosplays tend to be Women who will kick your ass and ask questions later that's the kind of character I'm attracted to but aside from that, there is no real pattern. My interests are vast and I like a lot of different characters. Also, If I can avoid a wig, I will, so if you notice a lot of the character I cosplay have long black hair like me.

14. Your most recent cosplay?
-Calie Liddle from Beyond Wonderland is on the way.

15. What do you prefer? Cosplaying in a group or on your own?

-Cosplaying in a group because cons are boring by yourself, it's fun to have a group of friends who are into the same anime/video game/comics you are and are cosplaying characters from that series to bounce ideas and jokes off of while in character.It's much like my Improv acting and it makes the experience 10x more memorable and enjoyable for all.
