Cosplay Characters

What does Cosplay mean to you?

It means putting yourself out there. Really loving what you're into. Take seriously what you love and don't let anybody tell you it's stupid!

Who have been your biggest influences/role models/mentors?

Probably Jessica Nigiri. She taught me you can wear whatever you want with no shame and make anything into whatever you want.

Do you have any advice or suggestions for upcoming Cosplayers?

Don't listen to anyones crap and never let them take you alive.

What is the most negative experience you've dealt with while cosplaying, and how did you handle it?

FAT SHAMING. Don't do it, it's wrong. When I see it, I step up. You may be out of shape, but that doesn't ever warrant a shit-storm.

Any final remarks or shout-outs?

Shout out to everyone who cosplays! Doesn't matter if you buy your costume, commission, or do it all yourself- you're awesome no matter what!
