What was your first Cosplay experience?
Back in 2007 I attended my first convention. To be honest it was a book fair but there was a cosplay section as well. With my first self made costume I got to know a lot of new cosplayers and had an awesome time with everyone!
How long have you been Cosplaying?
Since 2007 until now! (Omg, I’m getting old, haha!)
Who or what inspired you to take up Cosplaying?
Together with my friend Chikara I started cosplaying because once we found a super cool photo of a cosplayer on the Internet. Back then we didn’t know what it was and we were amazed that a person dressed up as his/her favourite character and took super cool photos with it! So we tried to do it as well! ☺
If you had to pick a favorite Cosplay you have worn, or have seen someone else wear, what would it be?
I don’t have a specific favourite cosplay of mine… I like a lot very much such as my Nana cosplay or Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) cosplays.
If you had unlimited funds and resources, what Cosplay would you create?
I think I would like to try to sew a ball gown and an armor! I don’t have certain characters in mind (yet), but someday I want to do something like this!
What advice would you offer to those who are aspiring Cosplayers?
Take it easy and step by step! Don’t rush things and try to enjoy and learn from the cosworking process. And of course choose a character fitting to your skills! ☺
