- Why did you choose this cosplay?
At the time I really loved playing in my Rozen Maiden suitcase I had made for another character costume from the previous year, And although I don't like the character on screen, she was so fun to act out as a child who pouted, cheerfully shouted, acted shy around new people, and would lay on the ground to draw pictures.
- How long did it take to complete?
The costume took me about a week and the box took me about a week.
- What was the hardest part when constructing it?
Trying to find the right size box. I happened to come across a stack of Rack Servers sitting in the hall at work, and I waited months for the servers to be installed before I could grab a box (that were going to be recycled) to take home. Trying to explain to my coworkers what I was doing with a giant box without sounding crazy wasn't easy either
- What do you love most about this cosplay?
I didn't realize at the time of making this outfit, but after the first day in this costume at a convention I found it hilarious to pretend to be mad and go hide in the box and shake my fist and con-goers as they walked past me. And then I would randomly pull out a box of crayons, spill them all over the convention floor, and start scribbling caricature of cosplayers. Even the voice actor of Lord Z (Power Rangers) had to come by, pat me on the head saying "Your Cute" and walked off.
Adorable character, SmallRiniLady! Stay tuned for next week's Cosplay Wednesday submission!
