It was good to meet you at this past Animé<br />
LA in your Princess Serenity cosplay.<br />
Was it this anime or something<br />
else that inspired you into cosplay?<br />
It was lovely meeting you as well and<br />
chatting at Animé LA. This was my<br />
second ALA but the first time bringing<br />
this version of Princess Serenity to<br />
ALA we have nicknamed her sparkle<br />
monster. So feel free to call her that<br />
if you like! The dress was made by<br />
@tacocat_cosplay for a project I was<br />
apart of back home.<br />
I’ve always been a fan of Sailor Moon<br />
since as long as I can remember but it<br />
was not this anime that got me into<br />
cosplay. I have been going to anime<br />
conventions in my home state of Colorado<br />
since I was a teenager and was<br />
always in awe of cosplayers and their<br />
dedication to cosplay plus it looked like<br />
a lot of fun. The first time I cosplayed,<br />
I cosplayed as Rikku from Final Fantasy<br />
X2 at my local con called Nan Desu<br />
Kon. While there I met a whole group<br />
of Sailor Moon cosplayers, which back<br />
in the day that was a rare sight to see<br />
and from then on I was starry-eyed<br />
from it because of how cool and beautiful<br />
they all were. Sadly, due to finances<br />
and adult life I didn’t have the means<br />
or time to really put myself out there.<br />
Flash forward about 10 years later and<br />
the help Instagram containing a whole<br />
‘moonieverse’ of Sailor Moon cosplayers<br />
whom encouraged me to push myself<br />
to live my cosplay dreams out because<br />
we only live once.<br />
