First worn: Anime Expo 2014
Friends put together a masquerade group with different versions of Sailor Moon.
Ok so… about not imagining ever cosplaying anyone from this series besides Sailor Mars? Well I CERTAINLY never imagined I would ever cosplay SAILOR MOON! BUT when I was presented with the opportunity to do this for a masquerade skit… I was actually very amused. Sailor Moon is so iconic, as is her signature hairstyle… even though she was not my favorite, I still drew tons of pictures of her when I was a teenager! And went to school wearing my hair like hers! She was and still is an idol and an inspiration to so many girls. I couldn’t refuse this opportunity! I MEAN CUZ IT’S SAILOR MOON! So much nostalgia. And I have to say, there is just something magical about cosplaying a character that’s SO well known and loved. The amount of attention I got just for being Sailor Moon was incredible. The response was so different from any other character I’d ever cosplayed. I had NO idea! Even when I went away from the convention area to get food, everyone knew who Sailor Moon was. It was really quite surreal, and gave me a new appreciation for how influential a character she really is.
