Hi, my name's Amanda! I've been cosplaying since 2003 and I still love it to bits. If I could give any advice to the cosplay community at large, it would be to make sure you're not taking cosplay too seriously all the time. This is a fun hobby, so make sure that you make the most of it and have a good time. ;D Also, I tend to like guy characters more, thus the reason for most of my cosplaying actually being crossplaying. Plus, I think I make a pretty decent guy (fooled enough ladiez to think so anyway). :3
