(Me)  Ok i know you started Cosplaying in 2006,what got you into Cosplaying and what was your 1st Cosplay and Convention?

(Victoria) I was inspired by seeing amazing pictures of Cosplayers on the web.It looked like fun and i wanted to try it for myself.Once i did i was hooked! I've been a comic nerd since my childhood and i was going to conventions for about 4 years before i started cosplaying.My 1st convention was Wizard World Philadelphia.

(Me)  What came 1st Modeling or Cosplay?

(Victoria) I began modeling professionally at 28.I have been featured in Latina Magazine and Entertainment Weekly.I've worked for companies such as Gentle Giant Studios and Super Hero Stuff and have done camera work for a local radio station.
