Everyone has a starter anime, and I definitely watched Sailor Moon as one of my first anime series. I love the S season the most as I am a really big Sailor Saturn fan, but never related to her in terms of what I look for when I want to do a cosplay. I never expected Neptune would be my Sailor Scout. I was always miffed that there weren't many characters, let alone a Sailor Scout with red hair, and up until Neptune, I never wanted to wear a wig for anything. A special thanks to EpicCosplay Wigs​ for being the ones to help me change how I feel about wigs. I think I had six different wigs from them now, and I love all of them ^_^

I drafted Sailor Neptune while I was living in NYC. I had access to some awesome and inexpensive fabrics, and that's how she came together. I was able to get these wonderful photos by biking with my photographer for close to an hour to a remote area near Rockaway Beach, and we found this dilapidated old building near the ocean.
