Happy 14th Birthday DA! :party:  I have loved reading all the stories my friends have been posting today, so I thought I would join in the fun!! :w00t:

I've only been on DA a little over 2 years, but I have meet tons of amazing new people, and I have been able to finally share some of the cosplays I pour so much time into.  I cosplay for fun, not to be the best or to impress, just for fun.  Even still, it was difficult for me to decide to start uploading pictures.  It wasn't really until I made my white SSBB Peach dress that I felt confident enough to show off a little.

This picture is still my most popular upload. :blush:  It's a simple picture, that one of my friend took for me using my old crappy digital camera.  (Thank you so much Yeonsu!)

But it wasn't my first cosplay.  Everyone has to start somewhere.  For me, it was here:
Full Moon Group - Ohayocon 2008 by FuzzyRedPants

Oh yeah... we were not the best. :XD:  We worked SO HARD THOUGH!  I'm the one with the cat ears in the back. :meow:  But it got me to where I am now, and I still cosplay with some of these people.  Especially my sister!

Yep, my sister is the one sitting down.  (She's wearing tennis shoes here because her HIP WAS BROKEN!!)  She's crazy, and always has strange cosplay choices, but it's what makes her so fun to cosplay with!  That, and she just has such epic art skills.  TTuTT  I don't even compare!  :iconicysnowseal: <- This is her page, if only I could get her to upload more of her work!!

We make a lot of our cosplays with the intention to do skits with them at Ohayocon, like this one:

Baby got Back - Ruto + Link - Ohayocon 2012 by FuzzyRedPants

That was us, being super nervous, about to audition for our first skit.  We got a judges mention, and got quite a bit of laughter from the audience!! :hug:  That laughter might be one of the best feelings in the world.  We got HOOKED!  We have done skits for Ohayocon the last three years in a row now, and somehow last year even won best of show with our Peach & Toad "In another Castle" skit.

We obviously don't do it all alone though.  We have an awesome network of cosplay friends we have sucked into our obsession!! :mwahaha:  But, they love it too! :heart:  We decided to call our little group the ShimaiTeam.  We use the name for my sister's Artiest Alley Tables, to announce our skits, and anything else that need a group name.  (www.facebook.com/ShimaiTeam)  I love this group of nerd girls!!

This is MOST of them... there are two not in here, but we're planning some future cosplays to get pictures of the WHOLE team!  (Hit, Toadsworth is totally going to cosplay TLP Zelda.  Just saying.)

I guess this is mostly just my cosplay story, but I think it goes hand in hand with my DA story.  My cosplay would not have made it this far without DA.  Because of DA, I took the extra steps to get better pictures of my cosplays.  It is a place for me to post, share with my friends, and meet new friends who love cosplay as much as I do.  I can't draw at all, and I'm always amazed at the artwork people post on here too!  So thank you Deviant Art, and everyone on here!!!
