Fandom and Original Cosplay/Costuming
ABOUT MEI've been cosplaying since 1999, and nowadays I'm very involved in helping run conventions, staff and judge masquerades, and teach workshops and classes.
What interests me most about costuming/cosplaying is actually the design and construction of complex elements. I love figuring out how to make things, and I love fine detail. Dressing up for a day or two is fun, but knowing that you figured out something tough and pulled it off really well stays with you for quite a while. It's not unusual for me to be embroidering one costume for months at a time, so I usually only get a couple of costumes done per year. |
