HOW DID YOU GET INTO COSPLAY?

I started cosplaying at FANIME 99 - that was my first year out in California (for college), so it was the first time I was actually able to attend a convention.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST COSTUME?

My first costume was Card Captor Sakura's school uniform. I bought the skirt and sewed the shirt by hand -- terribly! But that was the best I could do in the days before I saved up and bought a new sewing machine. I could go on & bore you, so I'll sum it up by saying that my grandmother started to teach me to sew on an OOOOLD sewing machine when I was young. I has always hoped to get a new machine that WORKED WELL to make something on my own. I try to really challenge myself on new costumes now.

I SEE A PHOTO OF MYSELF ON YOUR SITE. MAY I USE IT ON MY OWN SITE?

Absolutely! *Just please be sure to give me credit for taking the photo and include a link back to my website!* You don't have to ask for my permission, but if you E-mail me to tell me you are using a photo, I'd be happy to go visit your cosplay site! ^_^

DO YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT ON COSPLAY.COM?

Yep, I sure do! You can find me as 'Tei', or go here: http://forums.cosplay.com/member.php?u=365

DO YOU DO COMMISSIONS?

I'm sorry, but I don't have the free time to accept any commissions right now. I occasionally decide to post up old costumes for auction on eBay after retiring them though, so keep an eye out.
