Next up in my cosplayer interviews is Molotovcatnip, a talented cosplayer from Leicester. You can find her on Facebook and Tumblr.
What inspired you to start cosplaying? Fighting
Dreamers Pro inspired me, I was going through my Naruto phase and they
were the first cosplayers I ever found, and I fell in love with it
completely. It took me a few years after that to actually start
cosplaying, but now that I have, I've never looked back!
What about people who inspire you - do you have any cosplay 'idols'? Like I said before, FDP are definitely my Idols, also Jessica Nigri, Twinzik and Parle Productions. I really admire how they're all different in their styles and execution, they've really stood out to me over the years as individual cosplayers that are good at what they do and truly enjoy the hobby~
How long have you been cosplaying?
I've been cosplaying for around 3 years now, but I've only been serious about it for a year or so.
What has been your most memorable moment?
Probably when I was cosplaying Jack Frost, It was the first cosplay I did that got pretty popular. I was on my way to Birmingham MCM in November 2013, and we had to walk through the bull ring centre and we walked past a group of kids and their parents, and so many of the kids came over to me or were yelling "Jack Frost! It's Jack Frost!" it was so nice! There was another time on the way to ALcon as Jack again and a little girl came over, and she just asked "Jack Frost?" to which I asked her if she could see me, and her smile was the biggest I'd ever seen before. It was genuinely the best reaction to a cosplay ever.
