1) How did you get into cosplaying?

I started on my first cosplay 2 years ago and it was my boyfriend who actually showed me what it was. I always loved to dress up so we started making our own cosplays from scratch. I just loved the whole concept of bringing your favorite character to life!

2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

I get most my inspiration from either anime or video game characters. I also get inspiration from other cosplayers on instagram, because I am addicted to social media I look up to cosplayers such as : Kinpatsu, Danielle and Nigri my 3 senpais.

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

I make all my cosplays from scratch and I still struggle with using the sewing machine. I don’t know why but I seem to tangle it up everytime I touch it That’s why I try to mix my cosplay with a lot of sewing projects so I can be better at it. I’m pretty confident in making armour so I try my best to learn how to sew.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

My favorite cosplay to date must probably be Erza Scarlet black wing armor from Fairy Tail. It’s my favorite Erza armor and I just love the character. I made it for a convention back in April and it was a big project and I put so much sweat and tears into it. The wings turned out great!

5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?

I been to 5 conventions and each time gets better and better. I am a super awkward and shy person so it took me a few conventions to get comfortable. I only really had good experience so far and People are so friendly and loving which is awesome

6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?

I am currently working on my cosplays for Brisbane Comic Con in September and I am super excited! I will also attend Supanova Brisbane later this year as well.

7) If you could cosplay as anyone and budget wasn’t an issue who would it be?

My dream cosplays is to do Erza Scarlet heavens wheel or a dark Elsa from Frozen haha Elsa/Erza they have similar names.

8) Do you have any words of advice for up and coming cosplayers?

Yes!, watch a lot of YouTube tutorials, make a plan before starting a big project and take your time. From experience rushing cosplays is a really bad idea The last and most important thing, HAVE FUN!

Frozen 2 – Give Elsa A Girlfriend

Every princess tale we have ever watched has ended with a heterosexual relationship. Think about it. Cinderella and Prince Charming, Maid Marian and Robin Hood, Ariel and Prince Eric, Belle and Beast, Simba and Nala, Shrek and Fiona, and most recently Anna and Kristoff. That, however, is all about to change with the sequel: Frozen 2.

Frozen fans all over the world have been determinedly lobbying the idea of giving Elsa a girlfriend. This motion wouldn’t have been possible without Twitter user Alexis Isabel Moncada (@lexi4prez), who started the trend #GiveElsaAGirlfriend.

Dear @Disney, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend

— Alexis Isabel (@lexi4prez) May 1, 2016

As of May 26th, the above tweet was retweeted more than 2,300 times and liked more than 3,640 times. Needless to say, it trended.

One of Frozen’s directors, Chris Buck, definitely seems on board with the idea. “We will tackle other issues that, I think, are out there today that boys and girls, men and women, are dealing with… if we don’t have a decent message in there [the movie], I think we’ve missed an opportunity,” Buck said. Frozen star Idina Menzel, who plays Queen Elsa, supports the campaign. “Disney’s just gotta contend with that. I’ll let them figure it out,” said Meznel on the 2016 Billboard Music Awards red carpet in Las Vegas.

Why choose Frozen 2 as the first movie to break the norm? Many people in the LGBT+ community see Frozen as a metaphor for coming out and accepting yourself. Why choose Elsa to be the first character to break the heterosexual princess norm? Perhaps it is because Elsa already tackled one Disney plot norm — that you need a prince to have a happily ever after. Elsa proved that you don’t need a prince, you can be truly happy surrounded by just friends, a sister and a snowman. Disney movies are watched worldwide by people of all ages, but especially by children. With that in mind, it is important to remember that anything we show children has a lasting impact, strongly affecting their development. Showing a child that happiness is only possible by attaining a heterosexual relationship is a lie. Happiness comes in all forms. Love comes in all forms. Both were proven in Frozen. We want little boys and girls (and everything in between) to understand that they aren’t alone, there are characters all over the rainbow that they can relate to. Elsa is only the beginning.
