Hi, so I thought it would be best to start with an introduction. This website seems to have so many features to be used!

Anyways. So, hi! I'm Bethani and I go by the username Bebe Butterfly (or some variation) for almost all of my art/cosplay related things. I'm currently in college, hopefully finishing up at my local college soon to pursue Costume Desgin at an art school in San Fran~ Cosplay is a huge hobby and part of my life, I tend to spend most of my free time either working on or planning cosplays or other sewing projects. I also like Lolita Fashion, but budgeting tends to fall towards cosplay so I just dabble. I've been into anime for as long as I can remember. Fond memories of Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Zoids, ect. Watching them after school with my grandma or mom.

I love animals! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, and although they can drive me crazy I adore them!

My love of sewing just sprang up out of nowhere. My grandma taught be to sew on her old Singer when I was still in elementary school. I didn't get to do much, but after my first convention around 2007-2008 and I saw all the people in costume and then learned that some of those costume where home-made, I wanted to start making my own. So, as my grandma was working, I took a few sewing classes to learn to read patterns. From there I took off making costumes, clothes, crafts, and so one. I found that I really, really loved making these things. But it took me a while to figure out that I could learn to do this professionaly for a living, thus my new goal of studying Costume Desgin. Television, Theater, I don't care which side as long as I get to create I'll be happy.

I've had my few share of family loss and pain - pretty sure I have a mild depression - but I manage to fight on with a positive force. There is always a silver lining, as they say. And I refuse to ignore it, no matter how bleak the day may seem at any particular time.

Sorry if this turned into a bit of a random run-on. But here's a bit of a introduction about me. I'll try to keep any other stories up-beat and fun!
