I was always interested in Cosplay from a young age when I discovered anime around 2008. It wasn't until a few years ago did I actually start cosplaying. I started with online brought costumes from China on Ebay, but only have just started making my own costumes. Occasionally if I don't have a pattern or can't find the right material I may buy part of or the complete costume online in which I will let people know when that is the case
I mainly cosplay male characters, I suppose I just find it more comfortable considering I'm Gender Fluid.
I do a lot of fan service for Yaoi but also Straight parings. I have yet to cosplay a Yuri paring.
