Hello, Everyone!

How and when did you get into cosplay?
I have always loved  dressing up for Halloween, But I never knew of cosplay until my junior year of Highschool and my friend showed me photos of my favorite show and I thought it was going to be a movie and then I realize they are dressing up and I wanted to do it, But I didn't get to until late 2013, when I went to my first Convention StockTonCon 2014

I want to show everyone, How fun and amazing cosplaying are and it can be cheap! And there is nothing wrong with buying your costumes, I make and buy my costumes. I cosplay from Disney, DC Comics and Horror Etc. I am a huge fan of adding SFX Makeup into my cosplays. 

How did you come up with your cosplay name?
My cosplay is actually one of my nicknames, I usually go my nicknames.

What do you do when you're not in cosplay or geeking out?
Besides cosplaying, I love to work on my Perler Bead Art, Or Making videos for my Youtube Channel. Job Wise, I am a Photographer, I am mostly a Cosplay Photographer  @EmmylousPhotography  but I am breaching into other Photography genres.
