1)  Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and background.

  
Well, I'm 25, I'm an aspiring actress/singer, and in addition to Star Wars, I LOVE Rocky Horror.  I've been on a shadow cast in Newark, DE for 2 years now.  I live in NYC currently and I work backstage at Beauty & the Beast on Broadway as a dresser.  I grew up in Vermont and went to college at the University of Vermont (Theatre major), and I love karaoke and movies.

2)  How long have you been costuming?  What kinds of experiences have you had?


  
I've been costuming since I started classes in college, but I took it a step farther when I worked as the Wardrobe Supervisor for the Prince Music Theater in Philadelpia for 2 years.  But I only RECENTLY got my own sewing machine, so I hope to do many more personal projects in the future!   ;-)

3)  What's your earliest memory of seeing
Return of the Jedi?

  
I'm a terrible 80's child, and I didn't see it until I was 16!!!!  I was watching the whole trilogy with my then-boyfriend, because he was APPAULED that I hadn't seen any of the movies....   So was I!  But I remember Leia and Jabba, of course.  I wanted my own metal bikini even way back then!  LOL

4)  When did you get your first "metal bikini" and what drove you to it?


    I was cast as "Leia/Janet" in our "Star Wars Theme Night" Rocky Horror show last May...   So I had to make my bikini, and it took me about 2 months in the process, because I was so afraid of it not being perfect.  I love it, I'm so proud of the final outcome, and I have had 3 guys tell me that they want to see me in it....   privately...   So...   BONUS!   ;-)


5)  What is your favorite memory of appearing as Slave Leia?


    Favorite memory was having the entire audience cheer and hollar for me when I changed from "A New Hope" Leia at the beginning of the movie, to "Slave Leia" when they strip "Janet" down to her underwear...   It was deafening.  Crazy.  Loved it.


6)  If you danced for Jabba the Hutt, what song would you dance to and why?


   
I'm not big into popular music, so I don't know the title, but it would have to be the song that goes....  "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...   Damn right, it's better than your's...."   LOL!    ;-)

7)  Any final words?
