I've been going to cons since May 09. I started cosplaying thanks to my friend who got me interested in KoiCosplay and FDP, and from there I watched everything I could. Eventually I decided to do it myself and so I went to the May Expo as Misa. My cosplay sucked but I really enjoyed it, and decided that I would definitely keep doing this!!
My favourite things about cosplaying is meeting new friends & fellow fans and the sense of achievement when I complete a cosplay :)
A quick update to say that everything is now here! I've been super busy so I haven't been able to do much, but once the bag is done it's basically finished.
