California Cosplayer & Photographer, Taiga

Hi everyone, I’m Taiga from San Francisco Bay Area, California. I’ve been a cosplayer and fashion lover for a long time. I’m also a photographer who focuses on portraiture. I enjoy classical music and rhythm games (such as Jubeat, Beatmania etc.) too. It’s my pleasure to get the chance to know everybody here.

How will you describe your fashion style?

It’s a hard question since I’ve been striving to find my own style too. I guess right now my style is more sweet and cute, mixed with a little bit of vintage element. I try to keep my coordination as simple as I can, and I get lots of inspiration from Japanese minimalist styles.

Is there a fashion style or trend that turns you off?

I try to keep an open mind for all kinds of fashion styles and I won’t judge the trend I don’t know too much of. But sometimes I frown upon people who clearly don’t know what’s the best style for them and insist on dressing exactly like their favorite Instagram celebrity. I feel sorry for them because I can see great potential in them if they do a little more research of what’s the best for them. 🙁

Do you have a secret beauty regime to looking so fabulous?

I really hope I do! But there are a few I’d love to share. I sometimes put a little bit of baby oil on my face wash before I put on makeup, it gives you smooth skin especially if you’re dry. Also, drinking some prune juice will help you with a body cleanse, and I do that before my photoshoots. 🙂 Although in the long run I’d say a healthy lifestyle is more important than the makeup. Drink more water, eat less sweets, give yourself a nice and long sleep works better than any facial masks.

What food or drink can you not live without?

Oranges! And orange juice! My love for oranges is real. If I get kidnapped to an orange prison and forced to eat oranges for the rest of my life, I’d be happy to do so.

If you can have a superpower, what will it be?

I think I wanna be like Professor X in X-men, to read people’s minds. I feel like I’m already getting good at this. If I do have this superpower, I shall use this to help more people, maybe like a psychiatrist.

Have you ever been in a funny or embarrassing situation before?

I don’t know about funny but definitely countless times of embarrassing situations. I’m horrible at direction, and there was one time I was having dinner with my friends. After I went to the bathroom, I couldn’t find my seat, and everyone just stared at me wandering around the restaurant looking like an idiot. This has happened at least 3 times.

What is the funniest or lamest attempt a guy has tried to know you? 

One time at Anime Expo when I cosplayed as a character, there was a guy trying to take my photos for too many times that I literally ran into him 5 times in 3 hours. He had to come up with an excuse every time he showed up. I almost thought he was a stalker. We later became friends. (I don’t think he likes to see this)

It is a pleasure to feature you Taiga. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

I think sexy is the confidence I can see in a woman, who can elegantly show her natural and beautiful female body. It’s something that I wish to have. 😀
