Hmm, I think it was a cosplay shoot with my friends.

Seras Victoria from Hellsing
Yachiru Kusajishi from Bleach

Total: 4

- Who is your favourite person to cosplay as?
Seras is my favourite because of the attention, but I personally prefer Yomiko Readman.  I just identify with her so much, that it makes her really fun to cosplay as.

- Who do you REALLY wanna cosplay as?
My dream cosplay would have to be Naraku (prior to perfect).  He’s been my favourite villain since I first got into anime, and I’ve always loved him.

- How many of your friends cosplay?
Almost all of them.

- Have you ever walked around in public in your cosplay outfit?
Yes, I have.  I help out with my Anime Club’s publicity by cosplaying sometimes.

- Have people in public ever recognized you and asked for photos?
Yes, it’s happened.  I was so excited when it happened too, it was wonderful.

- Have you ever made your own cosplay outfit?
Yes, though I’ve bought clothes that would fit them before I learned how to sew.

- What was your favorite cosplay experience?
Hm, I’m not quite sure…  I think it would have to be stitching my Hellsing patch.

- What is your worst cosplay experience?
A little girl telling me that Hiei was supposed to be shorter, and wasn’t supposed to have boobs.

- When and where did you first learn of cosplay?
JACON in the last year it was at UCF (I don’t remember when that was…I’m bad with dates…)

- What did you think of it then?
“Oh, wow, those girls in towels are from Love Hina, and there’s a Witch Hunter Robin, holy shit I ran over a Genkai; is this how all cons are?”

- What do you think of it now?
I love it, it’s so much fun, and I wear stuff now that I never would have before; all because of cosplay.

- Where do you usually cosplay?
Conventions and sometimes school if my club begs.

- Have you ever done a cosplay skit on stage?
People want me to, but no, I haven’t.

- Have you ever won a prize for said skit?
Not for a skit, but I did win a ten dollar gift card to FYE for my costume.  (So, Tsuki, since you took first place, you did win something)

- Do you plan your cosplay outfits waaay before you're meant to wear them?
I try to, and for the most part I do, but I somehow always manage to find myself awake at three in the morning the week before the con starts wondering why the hell I’m only halfway done.

- Have you ever been to a convention and cosplayed?
Of course.

- Ever have something terrible happen to your outfit?
I tend to misplace things.  And my Hakama have a tendancy to fall down, so, yeah…

- What is the best thing about cosplay?
Knowing that you made this by yourself—or with friend’s help—and that people like your costume enough to take a picture.

- What is the worst thing about cosplay?
Money.  Or, more accurately, not having any.  Because fabric and props are expensive.

- Why do you cosplay?
Because there’s something about the character I like, and would like to emulate.  As well as to just have fun and show off.

- How long have you been cosplaying?
On and off for about 5-6 years.

- How long will you continue cosplaying?
As long as there are awesome characters to be cosplayed, I guess.

I tag whoever wants to do this.
