1. What got you into cosplay?
I already was into anime and basically joined an anime club at school with my friends Kathy and Jamie, soon enough we found cosplay.com and realised people gathered together to set up conventions about anime and people where running around in costumes of there fav. characters!! So we decided to try it out at Katsucon 2002 SNOW CON and have been continuing to go strong.

2. How do you choose who you will cosplay?
Love of a character, with a few group cosplay exceptions (but still liked character design)

3. How has cosplay affected your life?
W oooooooow!! Can Isay complete turn around...I was shy, artistically bored, never went anywhere but home, 1 really close friend...To talkative around most strangers, lots of fun costumes/comission to keep the tinker thinking, lots of travel from VA to NH, Many friends and new people to realate to all the time XD

4. What keeps you busy outside of conventions?
Well I never run out of things to do between conventions with friends needing costumes/props/wigs or personal comissions. I do have a personal life at home with my friends and pets.

5. Do you see yourself continuing to cosplay 5 years or 10 years from now?
YES!! Cosplay is my creative outlet and true hobby, i dont see losing interest and plan to continue, if finances allow.

6. What is your dream costume?
Four-Legged RedXIII from FF7, I've wanted to make this costume ever since Katsu 2002 when I saw my first RedXIII cosplay. I wanted to make a truly accurate creation of my fav FF7 character with glowing fire tail, moving head and mouth all the works. I've been slowly working on it every year and hopefully soon I can bring this dream to reality.

7. What is your favorite costume you've done and why?
Four-legged Kirara will always be my favorite costume ever. Iit's been remodeled 3 times and costume well over $400 to complete. So much has gone into the creation of this costume and I've learned so much that it will always be the best to me.

8. Is there any advise you can give for our visitors?
Some things may be difficult or seem impossible now, but with time and research anything can be accomplished o^-^o

9. What is the hardest part about cosplaying?
H mmmm... that's a good question, I think before was trying to not slack off till the last minute on costumes before conventions, but haveing the money to be able to afford it has to be the most difficult for most cosplayers.

10. Who would win in a battle to the death? The King (Burger King) or Ronald McDonald? Why?
THE KING!!(no contest) He tackles people!! plus...he represents ANGUS BEEF BURGERS!!! WOOOT
