Leo Nocedo : How did you discover cosplaying ?
OhMySophii : In 2009 my best friend took me to Akon in Dallas, TX! I had seen cosplay on tv before – but never thought it was something that was accessible to me. We went to Akon and the community absolutely blew me away! I fell in love instantly with dressing up and soon, with making!

Jason Rucci : It was 1997 and I wanted to dress up for the rereleases of Star Wars. I had made my own Jedi costume. It was terrible by my modern standards but I had so much fun at the theater with my friends
Leo Nocedo : How did you discover cosplaying?
Dylan Guarisco :Going to Disney world when I was young, I always wanted to become a costumed character like at the Disney parks. When I went to a Star Wars convention for my 12th birthday, I learned about the 501st legion for costuming Star Wars characters. I immediately did research into costuming for events like the 501st and learned about costuming at conventions like comic cons. I decided to buy a spider-man costume on my 15th birthday and bought a pig’s mask and this created Spider-pig from the Simpsons movie for a mini convention in my hometown. I got so much love and attention at the convention I wanted to explore more opportunities and started locating and attending conventions in my state and the rest is history.

Betty Jane : Well, I always loved playing dress up and pretending to be favorite characters as a kid and as I aged it just evolved I suppose.
Leo Nocedo : What was your first cosplay?
Betty Jane : Eek, forever ago, I enjoyed making up Characters and their costumes, I believe Lady Jane of Krondor Krew was my first.
