Cosplay experience
I started cosplaying when I was around 15. My school had its annual country fair and I felt that the anime club in our school was lacking something to draw people to its booth. So me being President of our fearless troupe went out on a magical quest to find out what "cosplay" means. After some interwebs research it sounded like fun so I put together my very first cosplay, Gambit from X-men Evolution with working bo staff and all sorts of knick knacks. After that I slowly became addicted to dressing up and now I went from going to my first con in 2007 to going to 5 + cons every year for my company (I'm a dealer)

What you like about cosplay
Its a great stress reliever and its a fun way for "adults" to have pretendy fun time games! I was in drama club for 4 years so throw raging otaku in the mix and you got yourself a cosplayer!

How you heard about UNY Cosplay
I went to Genericon as a good will ambassador for J.A/M and I saw a banner in the Artist Alley that said "UNY Cosplay"

Miscellaneous
I crowned my self Bishounen King because I would like to see someone else compete for said title against me ... I'm a die hard crossplayer who's costumes usually fall under these categories:
A) Bishounen
B) Subservient
C) Enraptured by a woman

Can you believe I did not start cosplay until I was 46 years old, or that I never dressed up as Batman until I was 48? Strange, but true.

And that was out of necessity, as I was beginning my fan film, Batman 1969 in Ontario, Canada. That project has taken me three years to complete, but the rough cut is being fine tuned right now, even as we speak!

I heard about UNY Cosplay from another board member, who advised me to join, since I am also planning a fan series based on the Carrie Kelley version of Robin. This fan series will have influences from the Golden and Silver Age Comics, as well as the 1966 Batman series and other TV shows. And it will be filmed in Upstate New York as well as in Canada. I guess that is because I enjoy entertainment very much, and wrote my first play when I was 10 (this was in 1970)!

Anyway, I can clearly tell I am the "moldy oldie" here! Anyway, I am visiting the area from this Sunday to Thursday, the 30th, so if you want to meet me, let me know!
