| 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and background. I am really into drawing and anything that involves crafts. I just like making stuff, really. I used to do a course on digital art and design, but now I am studying for an honors degree in English and Creative Writing. 2) How long have you been costuming? What kinds of experiences have you had? I've always loved dressing up - I think all girls do! Everyone gets really into Halloween here as well, so it's a great excuse to make a costume. I've made a few outfits, but nothing has taken me as long as this bikini. I made a Playboy Bunny outfit one year that I spent a fair amount of time on, and had a bit of a disaster when I was younger dressed as a 5p piece.... 3) What's your earliest memory of seeing Return of the Jedi? I was about 5 years old maybe and my parents were watching it... I don't remember very much... I think I was scared of Yoda... but I remember thinking Darth Vader was the coolest ever, and Leia was the prettiest girl in the world! 4) When did you get your first "metal bikini" and what drove you to it? This is my first Leia costume and I'm chuffed to bits with it! I decided in the middle of summer (students get a long, lazy summer!) that I wanted to kill some time and this was the perfect way of doing so. After reading about it on several websites (mainly this one!), I decided I would take on the challlenge and I'm so glad I did :-) 5) What is your favorite memory of appearing as Slave Leia? The shock when my friends saw me was priceless!! And I got to be a princess all night! ^_^ 6) If you danced for Jabba the Hutt, what song would you dance to and why? The Divinyls - "I Touch Myself", which remains a club classic around here, and I'm sure Jabba would appreciate it... 7) Any final words? Thanks to my BikiniBuilders Yahoo Group for all the excellent advice on how to make this costume! Without them, this costume could not be :-) Thanks Jeni! |
