Ugh, the list is endless. I can't even choose my next costume.

• How many of your friends cosplay?
Other than people I regularly talk to online? 4 =]

• Have you ever walked around in public in your cosplay outfit?
Oh, of course. I have to get to conventions somehow. It's not so bad, if you don't mind rude stares or comments.

• Have people in public ever recognised you and asked for photos?
Only at cons. I don't go many places in very recognizable costumes. Though I've had a strong urge for a while now to go to the mall dressed as Mario.

• Have you ever made your own cosplay outfit?
I make a majority of them, yes =] And I'm very proud of myself for that.

• When and where did you first learn of cosplay?
At my first anime con, Comic Arts & Anie Teen Expo (CAAT) (Fremont, CA) 2006

• What did you think of it then?
Totally. Wicked. Awesome!

• What do you think of it now?
The coolest thing EVAR! =D

• Where do you usually cosplay?
Only at conventions. Though a couple of time to school. <3 college.

• Have you ever done a cosplay skit on stage?
Once. It was mediocre at best, and totally and completely made up on stage *applauds improvising* but it was still really fun, and the audience had a great reaction.

• Have you ever won a prize for said skit?
Not for a skit, but I've won three prizes for walk-ons =]

• Do you plan your cosplay outfits waaay before you're meant to wear them?
Yes. Wayyyy ahead of time.

• Have you ever been to a convention and cosplayed?
Many times =] It's probably the most fun I've ever had.

• What is the best thing about cosplay?
Showing off, haha. And expressing my creative skillzors.

• What is the worst thing about cosplay?
Elitist cosplayers and cosplayers who don't even try. Boy, that statement was contradictory.

• Why do you cosplay?
I think I like the creativity and problem-solving skills the most. Plus, getting stopped for photographs at cons makes me feel like a celebrity. All in all, it's just good fun.
