When and how did you get started in Cosplay?
In 2013, when I randomly took part in a manga festival at HCM city. I have seen many beautiful cosplayers and know about cosplay from them. I feel they are really great, because I always wish to become my favorite characters in the manga that I have read since childhood. When I learned cosplay, I knew that I can make my dream come true.
What was your first Cosplay?
Sailor Moon in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon >w<
What was the most difficult character?
Ciel Phantomhive ver Houthstood, the version is drew on the cover of the Artbook Vol.2. That costume is very difficult to make and I also got a lot of troubles when try to express the emotion of the character.
What characters are you planning and type of character are you drawn to?
Haha my next character will be Yurio, I have a huge interested in YOI and Ciel Phantomhive in different version also, I can’t stop cosplaying him =)))) Ciel is also the character that I’m mostly drawn, although I don’t draw very well.
What is your process when starting from the beginning with a new cosplay?
First is the choice of character. I will choose the character that I like best and fit the situation at that time. Specifically based on my economic conditions and the festivals that I intend to go. If it is one of big and important festivals of the year I will choose the majestic project and plan it for at least 8 months. Then I started picking materials and making costume, usually I would make from easy details first and then make the difficult (with simple clothes or small projects I would choose to custom make or buy them directly from taobao.) Next, order wig, buy contact lens, shoes and learn how to do the right makeup. Then, test everything at home. Next is to watch the fes time, find out the state of the weather that day to decide how long you will wear the costume. Bring some necessities in case your costume unfortunately wiped out at the festival. Make sure you have adequate rest and good body care before the festival. Finally, after the festival is over, take a break and schedule a photoshoot with the photographer you trust to have great photos of costumes you have done so well.
Are there any helpful hints in sewing, costume design or any other aspects of your cosplay that you discovered in doing your creations?
Google, Youtube, Facebook and mom. That’s where I learned everything.
Be patient, do not rush. You can’t sew or make beautiful prop in just one or two times. Believe me, it took me a whole week to finish the pants in the past and it was horrible. =)))) Now I can sew the dolls.!
Do you have a preferred brand of makeup in your cosplay? And if so why?
I use foundation, cushion and base of some cosmetic drugstore of US and Korea (Wet n wild, A’pieu…). I also use domestic cosmetics of Vietnam (Thorakao) and some DAISO and Mumuso products (its eyebrows, eyeshadow and contuor are extremely good and have many colors to choose) because they are very cheap and good quality.

Who is your biggest character crush and why?
Ciel Phantomhive is my husbando >♡< He is my cute, sexy queen.
You enter a warehouse. There is little light, but you are able to find your way around. The sound of music draws you to a corner of the warehouse. There are FIVE GHOUL CLOWNS, playing a dancing video game. They have razor sharp teeth and scary weapons. Magic can not affect them; they sense your presence and turn facing you. They run to you to attack. Time to fight! What character would you want to be to defeat them and how would you handle the situation?
“Sebastian Michaelis, this is my order. Defeatting those things and bring me back home.”
I hate horror things so I would find the way to get out of there as soon as possible. So if I become Ciel, Sebastian will protect me safely no matter what happen. Beside, I can see Sebastian fighting and it’s super cool!!!
If you had to be chained with a character for one year, what would be the character and what would you do?
Yuri Katsuki. I willI feed him a lot of katsudon. When he becomes chubby, he will be my pillow. (─‿‿─)
You can have dinner with your favorite character. And at this dinner you may ask one question. Who would be the character and what would be your one question?
Definitely is Victor Nikiforov, I’ll ask him if you can invite me to you and Yuri’s wedding?
What's number 1 on your bucket list? (Something you want to do before you leave the planet).
Cosplay all version of Ciel. (✿◠‿◠)
What advice would you give to people getting started in Cosplay?
No matter what happen, do your best in everything. Living up your own dream, create your own story and feel proud with your passion. Most important thing is have fun in it! ≧◠ ◡ ◠≦
