More about Meiji Greenie
1. At what age did you start cosplaying and how long have you been cosplaying?
I started to know about cosplay in 2007 and started cosplaying in 2008, it has been 3 years now.
2. What inspired you to start cosplaying?
When I was a little girl, I’ve always wanted to be like the beautiful magical girls in Manga & Anime, such as: Sailormoon, Magic Knight Rayearth….When I attended a cosplay festival in 2007, all the cosplayers there were so awesome. I feel that it’s like a great world for M and A lovers like me. So that’s how I started in the cosplay community.
3. What are some difficulties you met in your cosplaying?
There are no cosplay shops in Vietnam, so it’s a big challenge for me to find the materials and the right accessories for my costumes. Another difficulty is finding the suitable background for the cosplay photo shoots. We have limited backgrounds in Vietnam, so we usually take photos at some coffee shops but some of the shop owners don’t allow us to do that.
