I started cosplaying in 2009 at MCM Comic Con in London. My first ever cosplay was a badly put together Rock Lee from naruto! (Everyon starts somewhere, right?) I even got my mum involved, the next con she came with me and did a lego cosplay! I think the best thing about cosplaying is that you make so many new friends. over the past 5 years I have met some amazing people who I wouldn't have known if it weren't for cosplay.
