Happy Valentine’s Day my fellow Nerds!\u00a0 Since it is the day of love, I decided to do some special posts with what our fans seem to love.\u00a0 One of the things that you, our readers, seem to love is my interviews with talented and beautiful cosplayers.\u00a0 So, I decided to make a special post with a special cosplayer.\u00a0 You may have seen her work recently as a female Lobo. which has become a hit on the web.\u00a0 So without further delay, I present to you my interview with the beautiful and talented\u00a0Meg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who are you and where are you from?: Meg \u2013 and currently in the Orlando area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. How did you discover cosplay?: Completely by accident. Years ago I was asked to help out at a local convention by a family member (who is a toy collector by trade). I showed up ended up meeting George Romero (died a little on the inside due to glee<\/em>) and noticed people there in costumes, having a great time, and it wasn\u2019t Halloween. My mind was blown. Ever since then I\u2019ve been attending conventions, spending way to much money on art and action figures and making sure I at least had one costume for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. I really love your Lobo cosplay.\u00a0 How did that idea surface?: Thanks man. I love me that fragg\u2019n Czarnian. I tend to only doll up as characters I\u2019ve read on and enjoy. 99% of the time that tends to be loud mouth braggarts (see question #10).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. I am also a fan of your Valkyrie cosplay.\u00a0 What made you choose her?: Same initial reason as Lobo \u2013Valks has always been the epitome of a strong (albeit sassy) woman. And I love playing with swords. Even though one of these days I\u2019ll probably lose a limb.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. What other genres do you cosplay?: Horror, Sci-fi and Comic. I\u2019ve done everything from classic horror (The Bride) to Trek (Seven). A few goals this year include Frankenhooker, Peyton Riley and Lionel Cosgrove.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Do you have any other hobbies besides cosplay?: Playing writer for an all-women run horror blog called GoresTruly (www.gorestruly.com<\/a>). Otherwise singing really bad karaoke, MTG and pining for the day when I move back to a coast and re-pick up daily surfing again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Do you do other modeling besides cosplay?: Not really. One of my closet friends runs SGH PhotoArt \u2013 and I do a lot of my costume shoots with him when I want pictures or whatever he needs. We can have a beer and joke and spend the rest of the non-shooting time talking about really really crappy horror flicks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future?: Open up a horror\/comic themed bar and\/or buy a boat and live near the keys while rich people pay me to let them jump off my boat in scuba gear. I\u2019d be completely okay with either.<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. Where can my readers see more examples of your work?: I try to upload one or two shots of my costumes to buddhafulx.deviantart.com\/<\/a> but I slack. A whole bunch. I\u2019m also on tumblr (zombiesonlywantmeformybrains.tumblr.com\/<\/a>) but I tend to slack there too. I should work on that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. If you had to pick one cosplay, which one is your favorite?: My ED2 Ashley Williams. It\u2019s comfortable. Simple and the best excuse to say Hail to the Queen \u2013 baby.<\/strong><\/p>\n
