I've always enjoyed cosplay before I knew the term and in October as that seemed to be the only time people did it. I've done some acting such as being a Roman soldier in an Easter production, ballet acting in "The Nutcracker" and being various characters in a local musical. Overall I like taking on a character and acting it out. Just three years ago I went to a con and met my people. My eyes were opened and since then I cosplay year round helping at events and cons when opportunity presents itself. It's also fun to meet other like minded people who enjoy cosplay and let their creativity flow. I look forward to bringing smiles to young and old alike.
