    Russian Cosplayer Astrid Hawke

    Hello! I’m Astrid, I’m a 24 year old cosplayer from Russia. At the moment, I’m finishing my studies at the university. I try to make my costumes myself, especially when it comes to sewing. I really love this process and want to continue developing in this direction.

    What inspired you to cosplay?

    That was in 2010. I was a member of an anime club and our leader suggested going to a cosplay festival in another city. I really wanted to feel like part of this event, so with the help of my grandmother, I made a cosplay of Amane Misa from Death Note. The atmosphere of the festival did not leave me indifferent, and I just could not help but continue to cosplay.

    Which cosplayer character costume has been most challenging or difficult for you to create and pull off?

    I can confidently say that it was Merrill from Dragon Age 2. Creating chain mail requires a lot of money and time. This costume was truly a challenge. To put on this costume, I need about three hours. In addition, I cannot do this without help. Some details have to be sewn to chain mail right on me.

    Also, I lose all mobility in this costume and I can’t even bend over and bend my legs and arms. And after an hour, the back is already starting to hurt due to the weight of the chain mail. Putting this costume off is much faster and easier.

    What should someone never or not say to a cosplayer?

    I consider it’s a little tactless when unfamiliar people write to a cosplayer and begin to advise what they need to redo in a costume and say what is wrong, if they were not asked about it. Even worse, when they begin to compare you with another cosplayer.

    For me, cosplay is not a race or competition. This is my hobby, and it’s important first of all to enjoy it. If I’m unsure of something and I need help, I will ask people about it.

    Do you have any other hobbies or interests?

    Of course! I adore reading books. I literally read every day. My favorite genre is science fiction and horror. I also love comics and video games. I can play them all day long. And I’m a big fan of Korean dramas.

    If you could change one thing about the world, what will it be?

    I’m really concerned about the lives of animals. I would like circuses and zoos, in which animals are cruelly treated, poaching and everything that causes them harm, to disappear from our world forever.

    And so that there are no more homeless animals.

    Is there any superstition you believe in?

    No, I’m one of those people who absolutely do not believe in superstition, but who believe in aliens and all that, ahah.

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

    They never tried to know me while I was cosplaying. There were only inadequate guys who tried to grope me when I was in an open costume.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Astrid. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    This is first of all confidence. It is not necessary to comply with any model standards. No need to be shy of any “shortcomings”. We are all unique. If we love ourselves and our body, others will consider us attractive. People feel it.

    It was hard for me to accept myself for a long time, but then I realized that I was worried about trifles and now everything is wonderful in my personal life.

  • What Is It Like To Be A Cosplayer?

    What Is It Like To Be A Cosplayer?

    I really like cosplay, I consider myself to still be relatively new. I got introduced to it by a coworker I’d become friends with (Thanks Alice!). I’ve always enjoyed films and writing and generally escaping from the real world but this was a whole new level – and also put my clothes making b-tech to good use.

    Challenges Of Being A Cosplayer

    I wouldn’t say it was difficult per se but it definitely has it’s challenges! One being money, to buy them or to make your own can cost a pretty penny but I try to look at ways of bringing the costs down. For example, I get most of my pieces from charity shops and the accessories from cheap sites like Wish or Ebay. I have even bought a decent wig from wish but also bought a few bad ones too. Most of it is down to trial and error.

    At the same time there are a lot of simple cosplays like Wednesday from the Adams family… all you really need is a white blouse collar and a black dress and maybe a wig if you don’t have long brown/black hair. But if you’re going easy and cheap then you would probably go with one that has your hair colour.

    Process Of Choosing A Character To Cosplay

    I decide my cosplays depending on my situation. I’m a student so I don’t have the money to go around buying loads of fabric for a Cinderella dress. I would also suggest, if you’re making it from scratch make sure you have some sort of passion for the character! Also reference pictures!! Front, back, side, any accessories and makeup.

    Misconceptions About Cosplayers

    I often hear that you’re not a good cosplayer if it’s not accurate to the actual character…. This is not true! I’ve seen female versions of male characters and vice versa and they look amazing, or those casual princess ones I’ve heard people say they’re a cop out etc. But I’ve actually got some planned so I don’t care! Do whatever you want to do! (within reason, don’t do blackface… stay classy).

    Tips To Know Before Being A Cosplayer

    It’s not about likes on Instagram or Facebook! I went to a cosplay day at my work as Ciri from the Witcher (I work in a board game library and it was an event, I’m not that weird) and I was the only one the whole day… did I get embarrassed or self-conscious? A little but ultimately the amount of people who came up to me and complimented me or helped me out when my corset split and even tipped me… It made it all worth it and you walk away beaming!

    Cosgemma – I help people make cheap, easy and accurate cosplays – sometimes – other times I’m kinda goofing off and doing photo shoots with my boyfriend. I don’t take myself seriously.

  • Indonesian Gaming Cosplayer & Influencer Berliana Effie

    Indonesian Gaming Cosplayer & Influencer Berliana Effie

    Hi, my name is Berliana Effie. I am from Indonesia and stay in Jakarta. I have studied psychology and am now working in Human Resource in medical company. I like to be a cosplayer, gamer, and streamer. I started as photoshoot endorsement model on 2016 then come to be cosplayer. For now I have become a part of gaming cosplayer team and join every event of it as an influencer. As a gamer, I have become an official gaming streamer for one of the platform games since 2017. I stream any kind of games. Now I still stream on other platforms and I also stream as an official creator make up in live video apps.

    How will you describe your fashion style?

    I like casual styles, especially Korean style and Korean make up, because it looks simple and cute. Sometimes I also try another style of make up and fashion like dark, swag style, etc. For me, it is interesting to try many kinds of fashion styles and make up to see how would I look like different from usual. 

    Where did your inspiration to be a Streamer come from?

    It starts when I was in college and I have much free time. Then I became a model for apparel products and also tried to participate in photo contests. I often participate in many photo contests and surprisingly always win it. After that, there was a talent manager that had a look and was interested in me. He offered me to join and become a streamer. And after I tried, it was fun too because it got me many friends and gave me more knowledge. Then after graduating from college until now, I am still a streamer and do freelance/ side jobs along with my primary job in HR. 

    Which favorite quotes or mottos do you live by? 

    Never be limited by other people’s limited imagination. Never tired to achieve my goals. Because no one knows my capabilities except myself.

     

    Is there any food or drink you don’t take?

    I like all kinds of food and drink because I like to eat as a hobby. However I don’t take fish because of the fishy smell. But except for sushi, I like it and it’s my favorite food although it is made from fish too. So actually nothing that I don’t take because I take it all.

    Do you believe in any superstition?

    Honestly I don’t really believe in things like that. When I was in college studying Psychology, I read one research journal about supernatural things like that and it was quite reasonable. Then I began to think rationally and logically. I am not a paranoid person or easily afraid of something. But people in my country still believe in superstition. So because of the surrounding environment, maybe I should believe in it too.

    Have you been in an embarrassing situation that is funny now when you look back?

    I have when I was tired after doing overtime work and just arrived home but I felt like wanting to stream and play games. There was an event that I should join to a party playing game with viewers so I should stream at that time. Then in the middle of the stream, when the viewer asked a lot of questions I started answering strange things that were not connected and when the viewer asked again why the answer did not connect I began to realize that I was digressing or actually fell asleep but still kept my eyes open. It was an embarrassing thing and also a situation that was very funny. But from that incident I learnt lest to do it again (falling asleep when streaming) because I have to try to keep up my spirits and entertain the viewers when I stream.

    What is a lame or funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    I have a funny moment from when I was college. There was a guy that in the same class with me. He was too shy to meet me, but one day he got the courage to meet me. He tried to sit beside me in class and greet me. He asked me for my notes because he didn’t bring his notes for the class. I lent my notes and let him bring it home.

    Then in another day of class he gave back my notes again and thanked me. After the class he met me again, and offered to give me a ride home as a way of saying thanks. But I had planned a date with my boyfriend, and suddenly my boyfriend came. He became very ashamed and said sorry for the offer. A month after that, I broke up with my boyfriend and I became single till now. Maybe I will get more funny attempts from another guy next time.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Berliana. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy is not all about the body, but is the comfort to become yourself. Smart women will look sexy from her knowledge, and a good woman will look sexy from her kindness. Every woman is sexy depending on the perspective of the person who sees it. Be the best of yourself and it is a sexy of you.

  • Get Inked By Tattoo Artist, Cosplayer & Model, Moo

    Get Inked By Tattoo Artist, Cosplayer & Model, Moo

    Hello! I’d like to start off with a big thank you for the feature. I’m a budding tattoo artist in sunny Singapore; I’d like to describe my style as small, cute and occasionally spooky!

    Photo: @7xwnie

    What hobbies or interests do you have?

    Tattooing aside, I also cosplay and model in my free time. I’ve been doing it for around 7 years now! I also love to sing and write poetry, albeit I may not be very good at it haha!

    Where do you usually love to shop from?

    In all honesty, I get most of my clothes from Taobao, I’m a sucker for cheap deals LOL. I enjoy shopping at Uniqlo and H&M as well, their basics are to die for!

    Photo: Akimori Photo

    How will you describe a typical day like for yourself?

    Well on work days, it’s the usual coffee, tattoo, more coffee and then head home to draw more tattoos! However, on my rest days, I’m quite the homebody. Nothing beats staying at home with a good TV show on and a mountain of snacks for me to munch on!

    Photo: Akimori Photo

    Do you follow a beauty regime strictly?

    No, not quite.. I always tell myself to start on one but I never get around to it (I don’t have the dedication and I’m simply just too lazy haha). But I do exfoliate and slap on a face mask every now and then when I feel like it!

    Photo: @filmminion

    Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have yet to find the time for it?

    I’ve never really thought about this! I suppose I’ve fallen into a routine and haven’t thought of breaking out of it. But if I really had to pick something, I’d like to bring my mom for a trip overseas.

    She’s been working very hard to support me and I want to take time off to have that ladies’ holiday with just us two. She deserves a break to travel to Korea and live out her K-drama dreams (and I want to be the one to achieve it for her hehe)!

    Would you rather have the ability to talk to animals or time travel?

    This is a rather interesting question! I would love to be able to speak to my pets as well as other animals but I also love the idea of being able to revisit history to see what it was like, so this is actually quite a tough decision.

    But ultimately, I’d definitely have to go with the ability to talk to animals. I believe it is best not to meddle with time!

    Photo: @aesthetic.ography

    What do you not get about guys?

    Oof. This question was a really hard one. I think rather than just guys, there’s a lot that I don’t get about people in general. I think certain people find it difficult to understand themselves as well, me included haha.

    I’d like to think that there’s no “fixed mold” for an individual. And therefore the number of things I will never get are endless unless, though near impossible, someone else has the exact same mindset and personality as me.

    Photo: @irid3scent_

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Moo. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    To me, sexiness is confidence and kindness. The ability to go, “This is who I am.” and embracing one’s own accomplishments and positive traits is incredibly sexy. Paired alongside a good heart with the will to help others, that’s sexiness overload for me!

    Thank you for having me, I really enjoyed wrecking my brain for certain questions.

  • Canadian Cosplayer & Boudoir Model Arcane Abbey

    Canadian Cosplayer & Boudoir Model Arcane Abbey

    Hello everyone! My name is Abbey or Arcane Abbey to my community. I am a 26 year old model from Red Deer, AB, Canada! I do boudoir/cosplay modelling mostly, although I dabble in lifestyle stuff as well. I am a huge nerd, who absolutely loves pop culture, and I absolutely love talking comic books, tv shows/movies, or anything nerd culture related.

    How long have you been cosplaying and why do you love it?

    I have been cosplaying for a little over a year. My love for cosplay really comes from my love for the culture that surrounds it. People are able to be themselves, dress the way they want, and feel completely comfortable while doing it. I really take pride in  the costumes I create, and love the feedback I get from my community :). Although I love boudoir modelling, cosplay will always be my main passion.

    Which characters do you love to cosplay and why?

    I will cosplay just about anything if I love the character, but my go to has always been Harley Quinn. I really love cosplaying strong *cough hot* female characters, and she fits the mold perfectly for that. I’ve done a couple renditions of Harley, and as well Poison Ivy (I obviously love my DC women).

    Which is a memorable cosplaying experience you had that you can share with us?

    Absolutely! I started attending comic-cons in costume long before I started this as a career, and a glowing moment was when I attended the Calgary Expo in 2015. I walked in dressed in my Harley Quinn costume, and immediately a group of about 7-8 Deadpool cosplayers all rushed up and picked me up and started carrying me around and dancing. It was an amazing moment, and really shows the community approach that most attendee’s have when attending a Con. If any of my dancing Deadpools are reading this, you all are the real MVP’s.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    My dad telling me he’s proud of me. 🙂

    If you could be a superhero or super villain for real, who will it be?

    Probably Harley Quinn. LOL surprising right? I just can empathize with her certain bucket of crazy I guess haha.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a foodie are you?

    Probably a 3, haha. I don’t really like most things. But I pick like a bird at things that I do enjoy haha. But most of the time, eating just feels like a chore.

    What is a lame or awkward attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Hahaha! These are the best ways to get to know me though!! Honestly, I’m a sucker for the underdogs. So sometimes, the cringiest moments are the best.

    For example: My better half, Cale (I’m sorry, LOL don’t hate me) accidentally knocked over a bottle of pop on my back deck, that I had just spent days stripping, sanding, and treating. It was finally ready to stain, he saw my face drop as it was *gluglugluging* out of the bottle onto the deck. He panicked, picked it up and spurted out, “I’ll build you a new one“. The certainty in his face and how quickly THAT was the solution his brain came to…I fell for him there. Haha sometimes the most awkward weird moments can be the best.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Abbey. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    I don’t think I really can define it…it’s just something I feel…in my jellies. Ya know.

  • Italian Cosplayer Hime Lala

    Italian Cosplayer Hime Lala

    Hellow, thank you very much for featuring me on SimplySxy and nice to meet you all! I’m Hime Lala, an Italian cosplayer (I live in Rome). I started cosplaying back in 2009 with my closest group of friends and, even though they stopped doing it, I went on enjoying this hobby of mine.

    Character: Semiramis from FATE, Photographer: Martina Brui Photography (@martinabrui_photography)

    What inspired you to cosplay?

    At first, I was quite skeptical: I have always been bullied during school apart from the elementary years and I was afraid this could be the bullies’ chance to bother me even more. But then I met an incredible person (who was a cosplayer as well) and he encouraged me to do what I wanted to, to feel free outside of my sad school walls, and to create my own happy reality. That’s what inspired me: freedom.

    Which is your most memorable cosplay experience so far?

    I think that the most memorable cosplay experience has been when I went to a hospital, dressed as Lady Marian from Disney’s Robin Hood animated movie, with an incredible group of cosplayers to encourage children and their families in fighting over the sickness they had to deal with.

    Character: Ibaraki Douji from FATE, Photographer: Martina Brui Photography (@martinabrui_photography)

    Do you hear any misconceptions about cosplay that you like to correct?

    I am contacted frequently and asked to send nudes “because you are a cosplayer, so that’s what you do”. Cosplay is not showing ourselves naked but acting as the character. I know that some cosplayers enjoy doing “lewds” and so on, and I think it is fine, as long as it doesn’t bother other people. I would like it to be understood: if someone does something it doesn’t mean anyone else has to do the same.

    Are there any other hobbies or interests you are into?

    My hobbies are reading and writing, playing Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder (I’m a DM) and spending my time taking care of the plants I have around the house. Also, I feel a deep interest towards history (I’ve gotten a degree in Medieval and Modern History) and Psychology, that’s the university department I study in.

    Character: Ahri from League of Legends, Photographer: Laura Crystal Emiliani (@laura_crystal_emiliani_ph)

    Which flavor best describes you?

    Since I wouldn’t know what it could be, I asked the ones that know me best what it would be. They said that it’s strawberries with sugar and cream. I guess I must be extra sweet with a tip of sour!

    If you could change one thing about the world, what will it be?

    I would like people to be self-conscious, understand what can and cannot be done, and when is the right time to do something. Especially now, with the health crisis, I see people going around and not respecting the restrictions asked by our government. This is a terrible time for humanity, if you don’t do it for yourself, at least do it for your loved ones.

    Character: Klaxosaur’s Princess (001) from Darling in the FRANXX, Photographer: Agnese Tisi (@ness.chan)

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

    Well, it happened one year ago, this guy contacted me on my IG page and only said, “Hello, how are you?” and then I was like, “Hey, I’m fine, what about you?” and he told me he never reached that part of the conversation and usually the girls he tried to hit on never even answered him, so he didn’t know what to say and… he just blocked me. I was very surprised, and it has been a little bit comical as well.

    Character: Kotori Monou from CLAMP’s X/1999, Photographer: Martina Brui Photography (@martinabrui_photography)

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Hime Lala. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Well, unfortunately I had somewhat a bad experience in the past with an “excessive” person who was considered sexy, therefore I have a very hard time with sexy things that, apart from a couple of them, I only see as vulgar.

  • Russian Cosplayer Elli

    Russian Cosplayer Elli

    Hello. I am a cosplayer from Russia. I always loved creativity, so all my hobbies and education are connected with this. In college, I graduated as a teacher of photography. I love anime, games, fairy tails, books and good music. So I think you can call me a geek from head to toe. Hahahah.

    What do you love about cosplaying?

    I am fond of photography, so it’s the main part for me in cosplay. I often do my photos by myself with a tripod help. But I understand that sometimes, I want to go to conventions and chat with new people. This is also an important part of cosplay .

    I am not the biggest fan of sewing. I sewed a lot of my costumes, but I rather like to refine my costumes than to do everything from scratch. Maybe that’s why I also love to do originals.

    Which is your most fun or unforgettable cosplay experience so far?

    We traveled with friends in Japan. One day we split up and my friends went on a field trip to the village, and I went wandering around the streets of Tokyo. There, I saw random cosplayers and they took me to a convention. I was not in cosplay, but my outfit and hair looked like Asuka’s look from Evangelion. (Also I had hair pins with me).

    I spontaneously did a cos test! It was my dream to get to any con in Japan and it came true by chance! It was very funny. We took photos and videos with other cosplayers too.

    Where can we catch you partying on weekends?

    I often sit at home and retouch photos. Hahaha. If I’m not busy with new cosplay, then I often attend conventions in different cities of Russia. I haven’t gone abroad, but hope someday it will change.

    If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    I would like to know the plots of all books, films and games.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    The best thing that people told me was that my photos and videos changed them and they also decided to do something creative.

    Are you more of a lingerie or bikini babe?

    I love bikinis more. And also I love monokinis more then bikinis.

    What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to get to know you?

    I thought about this question for a long time and I don’t even know what to answer. There are stories, but apparently they are eroding from my head. I do not like to remember other people’s failures.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Elli. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    In a few words – attractive, tasteful, beautiful, not vulgar.

  • Australian Cosplayer Haybear

    Australian Cosplayer Haybear

    It’s a pleasure to be featured! I’m a 26 year old small town cosplayer from North Queensland, Australia, with a passion for cosplay and all things pop culture. I work as an accounts admin by day, and on my days off I am the event assistant for the local convention and the leader of the promotional team as well. In between work and play, I also self-manage my Haybear life online.

    How did your interest in cosplaying come about?

    I had always wanted to do it but there was nowhere locally (that I knew of at that time) that I could cosplay. Then five years ago, a pop culture convention popped up out of the blue in my town and it gave me an excuse to start. I made my first costume (Suicide Squad Harley Quinn) and I haven’t stopped since.

    Which was your most challenging cosplay character you have done so far?

    This is a hard one, because there are some cosplays which are more difficult than others in their own ways. Jane Foster from Thor comes to mind because it was my first time working with foam (armour builds are not my strong point).

    My Masquerade Ball Harley Quinn is another, as it involved 20+ meters of gathered tulle, and it was a project I decided to do having only learned how to sew two months prior. Both are not the best made cosplays, but given my experience at the time and their difficulty in creation, I am immensely proud of them both.

    What is a typical day like for you?

    Depends on the day! If it’s a weekday, I’m usually at my desk all day, and checking socials, e-mails and managing events in my breaks. Then I’m at the gym after work, and then home to work on future cosplays before bed. If it’s a day off, I’m usually out and about promoting the Con, or at home doing photoshoots for my profiles.

    If you could be an anime or cartoon character for real, who will you be?

    Definitely Harley Quinn. She’s the one I can relate to the most (plus the majority of my friends already call me Harley now anyway).

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a party animal are you?

    I probably range from a 6-8, depending on the occasion. I love to dance and have a good time. For a while there, I was nicknamed “Butterbeer” girl at my local pub because I used to drink nothing but, and on a weekly basis too (until they introduced their Harley Quinn cocktail of course).

    Would you rather have the ability to control objects or read minds?

    Read minds, as I think it would save me a lot of time and stress in my personal life. Though controlling objects would be handy with cosplay…

    What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you before?

    Where do I begin? I’ve had a lot of guys start talking to me like they are the Joker, which is funny because the majority of Harley’s I cosplay are well moved on from Mistah J.

    The lamest are always the “seeking a cosplay GF” and unsolicited dick pic senders, though.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Haybear. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Geralt of Riv – I mean, sexy is definitely in the eye of the beholder. Though it always comes back around to confidence. Someone who is confident in being their most authentic self, is the most sexiest to me.

  • Cosplayer & Music Producer Lena

    Cosplayer & Music Producer Lena

    Hey! My name is Lena aka Lalena, or Lalenabee, I’m a 24-year-old cosplayer/music producer, I’m half Thai, half German, born in Germany and currently live in the Netherlands.

    When did you first start to cosplay?

    I don’t know the exact date and time, but officially only since the start of 2019, although I went to Cons before ever since I was 15 (especially Gamescom) and I had several costumes before, just rarely shared the pictures or made an official cosplay account.

    Which characters have you enjoyed cosplaying most so far?

    That’s difficult to say, but if I had to choose I’d say D.Va. I’ve walked past a father with his two daughters and the daughters started screaming “D.VA! Dad, there’s D.Va!” They ran to me and we took pictures and they were doing all the D.VA poses, they were so excited it almost brought tears to my eyes.

    Do you have any other hobbies or interests?

    I think my three biggest interests next to cosplaying are definitely gaming, music, and fashion. I have a big heart for Eastern Asian fashion. I like to mix up some of the characters I cosplay with casual outfit ideas for them. I think of outfits that fit them, so I like to be up to date with fashion.

    As for games, I love to play competitive games like LoL or Overwatch, but also just games with a good story like Life Is Strange. As for music, I love to write songs, just improvise on my keyboard, or dig through music I’ve never heard before. I’m very open to all kinds of music genres.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a superstitious person are you?

    I would like to say a 1, but since my mother is a strict Buddhist I guess it transferred over to me a little, so I guess it would be 6. I think twice before I kill a scary spider on my wall, at least if it’s not a terrifying big one. I guess the concept of Karma will always stick with me.

    What is the best compliment you have received?

    It’s hard to pick the best one, but I think when I get told that I inspire someone, those are the best compliments.

    If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?

    I would love to become a better dancer, so if I could choose I would like to learn dancing, like the background dancer pros in K-Pop videos.

    What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    I hope the guy won’t read this. But someone once wrote me a message after a convention, saying that he was too shy to walk up to me to ask for a hug or a picture and that he was searching through the conventions Hashtag on Instagram all day to find me (by looking for a picture of me).

    I said that I only went there for one day (which was a Wednesday, but I didn’t tell him) and that’s when he told me he also only went on Thursday, which wasn’t even the day I was there, it was just the date I uploaded the picture. He blocked me, I guess because he knew that I knew that he was probably not even at the convention.

    Nice try though!

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Lena. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Sexy is when someone is confident enough to get the best out of what their mothers gave them.

  • Italian Cosplayer Clean Inspires Creativity!

    Italian Cosplayer Clean Inspires Creativity!

    Hi, thank you very much for this opportunity!

    I’m Clean, I’m Italian and I’m 19 years old. I have several hobbies such as coding, videogames, anime, manga and of course cosplay!

    I started in 2016, and my very first cosplay was Frisk from Undertale. I used my real hair (I had a short bob of course) and painted an old blue shirt with purple straight lines. What a disaster! But I always remember it with a smile. I currently study at a University, in order to become an Italian teacher! As well as English and Italian, I can also fluently speak Spanish and French. I describe myself as a genuine, sensitive person. My nickname, Clean, represents my sincerity.

    Which was your most challenging cosplay character you have done so far?

    My most challenging cosplay was definitely Ann Takamaki’s succubus version from P5: Dancing in Starlight. I’ve made it all by myself and it cost me a lot of time (two months), and money. Almost 150€, at least. Not considering the wig and contact lenses…

    But was definitely worth it!

    What is a typical day like for you?

    Some days I just dedicate myself to my studies, in others, I spend my afternoon crafting dresses or taking cosplay photos!

    When I don’t feel like doing anything, I just watch Netflix or chill on my sofa watching trash TV shows.

    If you could be an anime or cartoon character for real, who will you be?

    I’d be Maka Albarn from Soul Eater. She’s my favorite character ever! And the protagonist of the first anime I’ve ever seen too. She’s so smart, funny… a true inspiration for me!

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a party animal are you?

    I’d tell a 6. But after a little bit of time among a crowd, I start feeling uncomfortable. But when I’m with my friends, I just have fun and don’t think about my shyness.

    Would you rather have the ability to control objects or read minds?

    Reading minds, but only when I decide to. Or my head would just explode with voices!

    What is a funny or lame attempt a guy has tried to know you before?

    A guy messaged me first saying, “Is your father a thief? Because he stole diamonds and put them instead of your eyes“…

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions Clean. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    Sexy is someone completely aware of their charm. They don’t have any fear of showing their selves to the world, because they’re confident enough.

    Thank you very much for featuring me! It was truly a pleasure ^^
