Interview to Jessica Nigri (๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ) 1/2


When did you discover you liked cosplay?
It all started in 2009 by accident. A friend asked me to go with her to the Comic Con as we had heard that people dressed, we decided to dress sexy Pikachu because we thought it would be original and funny. Did not even know what was a cosplay at that time, I discovered there. But it was amazing when I got home had many friend requests on Facebook because so many people had photos with me. It was all a bit confusing something like ... "I'm not sure what happens, but I love" (laughs).


What is the most complex cosplay you've done so far?
I made the Dead Knight of World of Warcraft. It is really complete, with all the armor, also a little crazy and stupid ... It's probably the cosplay in which I worked harder. I was about three weeks with him and took him in Katsucon, one of the most important conventions in the United States. Is incredible.


What person would you like to characterize in the future?
I have planned to do the armor of Halo 5. I love the Master Chief. Besides I'll do more than Pokรฉmon. It could make all the pokรฉmon (laughs).



What do you think about the criticism about the sexualization of your cosplays?
They would probably give them (laughs). I do not really care about that kind of criticism. What happened really well doing cosplay. I think that is: have fun, make friends, make good suit and show it to spend great moments.


What advice would you give to all those people who do cosplay for fear of 'what people say'?
I always remember that cosplay is something I have fun. If you enjoy what you do, people will recognize that you're having fun with it and you do it because you love the characters like them. I advise tutorials if you look scared to do something, maybe I could help. They are really useful for the manufacture, know how to become either ... Actually it's best to try it yourself and have fun with friends, that's what really matters.
