| 1) Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and background. I am 25 years old and have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Architecture. I am employed as an architectural animator and 3D modeler. I skydive for fun and spend all other time doing house renovation. 2) How long have you been costuming? What kinds of experiences have you had? My only experience costuming is making my slave Leia costume. So I guess I was a costumer for about a month! 3) What's your earliest memory of seeing Return of the Jedi? I don't really have many memories of seeing ROTJ, but I always remembered seeing Leia lounging next to Jabba in her sexy slave attire. 4) When did you get your first "metal bikini" and what drove you to it? I made my metal bikini a year ago, and I was driven to do it for an awesome costume party/competition. Sadly, I was beat by a stupid jello shot! 5) What is your favorite memory of appearing as Slave Leia? My favorite memory of appearing as Slave Leia was standing on the picnic table with my husband as Jango Fett with the crowd cheering. Or maybe when someone stuffed dollars in my skirt! 6) If you danced for Jabba the Hutt, what song would you dance to and why? If I danced for Jabba, I would have to dance to Enigma because it is as sexy as I felt in the costume. 7) Any final words? I'm surprised to learn that there is a whole sub-culture of costumers, but I have a lot of respect for the work you all put into your costumes. After "slaving" over mine for a month, I know how hard it can be! Thanks Katie! |
