Hi Everyone, I'm new to Cosplay and last month, Oct 2009, I went to my first Cosplay Con - Youmacon 2009 in Dearborn, Mi. I'm a big Star Trek Fan. I belong to both a Star Trek Fan Club based in Dearborn, USS Intrepid, and I have 2 RPG characters on the USS Amandora, which is on the Quick Silver Fleet website. Being born on Halloween I have a special interest in horror and fantasy. I love costumes in general and I'm curious about Cosplaying in general. Favorite TV shows: Yu-gi-oh, Pokemon, Star Trek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Please contact me if you have an interest in "Buffy" or Star Trek. Youmacon 2009 was wonderful!! :) I had a great time. I met and took pictures of many Cosplayers. Also many of them took pictures of me and with me. My first costume, Lt Commander was a big hit. I had a surprise at the Convention. It turns out that my age and having a "Blue" Star Trek Uniform made me a "spitting" image of Cadet Dr McCoy from the new Star Trek movie. Cosplayers were so excited to see me in costume that some yelled across the room, "Dr McCoy, Oh I have to have a picture taken of him", and others (especially the girls) would walk up to me and some jumped up and down excitedly and practically begged to have a picture taken with me. I'm honored to be recognized as a really liked character from the new Star Trek movie and grateful & in awe for all of the complements. Feel free to check out both my Sandbox pictures and the added pictures to my first costume. All of the new pictures are from Youmacon 2009. Sincerely, Smithers456
