What was your first Cosplay Experience?
My first convention ever was Wondercon in 2010, I had heard about it from my local comic shop and decided to check it out. I built my first Supergirl costume out of exercise clothing and an old T-shirt. I ended up having the time of my life and have been cosplaying and convention going ever since!!
How long have you been Cosplaying?
Since 2010, my senior year of high school.
What is your favorite cosplay you have worn/created?
I love all of my cosplays for different reasons but one that is very close to my heart is definitely Slave Leia Rapunzel. I love both Star Wars and Disney and wanted to combine the two in a fun way. I was absolutely terrified the first time I wore her, not wanting to offend either of the fandoms but in the end she was received beautifully and now combining universes is one of my favorite things to do!
If you had unlimited resources, what Cosplay would you create?
With unlimited resources I would probably just try to create Flamebird Supergirl, an armored version from an Elseworlds story arc.
What advice would you offer others trying to break into Cosplay?
Pick a character that you absolutely love and start small. Don’t be afraid to fail a few times and experiment as much as possible!
