1.
What got you into cosplay?
I met some people in my
Japanese class in college and expressed an interest in making a costume
for Otakon. They'd done it the year before so they offered to help,
and now we're all best friends.
2. How do you choose who
you will cosplay?
Usually if the character is either badass or totally hot (since I usually
crossplay). The main thing is if it's actually do-able, and if I can
pull it off. Most of my costumes are characters that I just fell in
love with and had to do.
3. How has cosplay affected
your life?
It's brought me a larger group of friends than I've ever had. It somehow
managed to decrease my self-consciousness, and it has given the artist
in me yet another outlet.
4. What keeps you busy
outside of conventions?
Work, TV, writing, and trying to publish a book.
5. Do you see yourself
continuing to cosplay 5 years or 10 years from now?
Honestly, no. But then again, I'm learning that old habits don't really
die. So who knows.
6. What is your dream
costume?
It used to be Calintz, but thanks to Lizzy I've done pulled that one
off. Right now? Drizzt Do'Urden. Insane? Yes. ^_^ That's why it's a
'dream costume'.
7. What is your favorite
costume you've done and why?
I still love IY and Dark. It's a toss up between those two. I put ALOT
of work into both of those wigs and people seem to love the costumes.
Also, they're comfy! For the most part I can wander around in them all
day and not have a problem.
8. Is there any advice
you can give for our visitors?
Always put friendship before everything else. Cosplay and conventions
are fun, but if you start to take them too seriously it takes all of
the fun out of it.
9. What is the hardest
part about cosplaying?
They money. Its so freakin' expensive. Other than that, I'd say the
planning stage. When you look at something and go "How the hell
am I gonna make that happen in 3d?"
10. Who would win in a
battle to the death? The King (Burger King) or Ronald McDonald? Why?
Ugh. I hate them both. X_X But I'd say the king. If he can pull a burger
out of his ass, I'm sure he's got a few AK's up there too.
