What was your first Cosplay Experience?
My first cosplay was Spider-Girl with a suit I had bought on eBay, nothing fancy but it worked and portrayed the character I wanted to cosplay. My friend Cassy had been cosplaying for a while and had been telling me to do it for a while, so I had finally did and it was Animate Miami. It was awesome I had a blast with my friends and I loved taking photos with everyone. I have never been into going out clubbing or that sort of atmosphere, I usually feel weird and claustrophobic, but at the cons I feel great, I am surrounded by other people who like doing what I like to do.
How long have you been Cosplaying?
I have been cosplaying now for about 3 – 4 years.
What is your favorite cosplay you have worn/created?
My favorite cosplay by far is my Spider-Girl one, I love the character. When I got my newer suit by Frontier Costuming, it was even better and I felt awesome wearing it. Also spandex is extremely comfortable, plus no heels lol.
If you had unlimited resources, what Cosplay would you create?
Dude, if I had unlimited recourses that would be pretty freaking amazing, I would cosplay so much. The list is endless. But, a few at the top of the list would be Ariel (I want to cosplay her soon bad), Korra, I would also collect ALL the Spider-Girl suits (Ben Reilly version, the other version of her suit in the newer series, and her black suit), Rogue, Princess Leia, Miranda (Mass Effect), World Of Warcraft Sylvanis (I want to do an armored cosplay really bad too), Sailor Venus and etc… lol
What advice would you offer others trying to break into Cosplay?
Find a character you really like and start simple with it, which is what I did, and enjoy it. You’re in for lost of good times.
