Any special cosplay talents?
Ummmm…. corsets? I’ve made a few of them and I getting pretty good at them. Also, fitting (cause of the corset making).
What’s your favorite cosplay moment?
There are so many to choose from, but I’d have to say it would probably be when we won Best in Show for the first time at Sakura Con 2007. Our original idea for the con skit had fallen through but we all pulled together at the last minute and put together a Guilty Gear Skit. When the judges announced the winners for our category and didn’t call us we were like “eh, next year maybe”. Then came the announcement that we had won best in show and we all just about lost it.
Most embarrassing cosplay moment?
I think it was probably at Sakura Con 2009 when my bunny ears kept coming loose during the skit. I kept thinking I could get them to stay but when I saw the video I just looked silly.
What are you favorite Anime/Manga series?
Anything by CLAMP, Vampire Hunter D, Utena, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Fullmetal Alchemist, Vampire Knight, Slayers, Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell, Miyazaki movies
