1) Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and background.
What can I say about myself? My marks in English aren't as good as I would like them to be. I'm in a linguistic faculty, for 2 years, in order to prepare the competitive exam for speech therapist school. Like most Star Wars fans, I like Lord of the Rings very much. I practise archery several times a week, and I'm very interested in RPG. After all this information, the most important thing to remember, to define me, is all the love I have for Max (my boyfriend).
2) How long have you been costuming? What kinds of experiences have you had?
The first time I've worn a costume was in 2002, for the first projection of Attack of the Clones. I didn't knew before that there were costumed fans, so it was a great discovery for me!
Since May 2002, I've had many other costume experiences that you can see in the LCF Star Wars Album.
3) What's your earliest memory of seeing Return of the Jedi?
I can't say it... I've always known the Star Wars movies.... Maybe my parents were watching them all the months when I was a baby...
4) When did you get your first "metal bikini" and what drove you to it?
I finished my metal bikini after more than one year of research and work. It was at the Starday 2, an event organised by the Toystar shop, that I dressed for the first time as Slave Leia. But my costume isn't an exact replica, so I'm working on a second, better version....
5) What is your favorite memory of appearing as Slave Leia?
Ask Max..... ;-)
6) If you danced for Jabba the Hutt, what song would you dance to and why?
I will never dance for Jabba the Hutt, in the same way that I'll never do the necklace and chain of this costume: Nowadays, there are too many slaves, hidden in the shadow of some great people; that's why I can't deliberately wear a chain, where as for many people, that's all they would wear.
7) Any final words?
Thank you to LeiasMetalBikini.com, for all the photos I've used in order to build this replica as exact as possible. This site is a gold mine for all people who want to make this costume.
Thanks Elaendam! |
