So, you want to know more about me? Well, to tell the truth, there's not much to know ^^; I graduated in 2008 with a B.S. in Photography from Kent State University. Somehow I end up in front of the camera more than behind it though, lol!

As for my nerdy side, I spend at least 10 hours a day on the PC. I really don't know how I don't weigh 300lbs o_O I'm an absolutely horrid multitasker, meaning I can't stay focused on just one thing if my life depended on it. It's amazing I ever got this site done! When I'm not browsing the net or updating my websites, I'm probably playing a PC game. My favorite at the moment is Guild Wars, and everyone knows how time-consuming MMOs are. It's amazing I actually got a costume from it finished, lol.

My cosplay hobby is come and go, but when I'm building a costume I dedicate all I have to making it my best. I'm not the most creative person though, so I usually tend to do things the hard way. I'm not really the kind of person who looks forward to constructing a costume more than wearing the finished product, but I do have fun while making it. Seeing your creation come together after putting so much work and love into it is an amazing feeling. And that rush of excitement when you step out of the hotel room with a brand new costume has no compare! :)


Takagi Nao

Takagi Nao

I guess this is as good a place as any to explain my internet alias ^^ Well, Takagi Nao is the name of my most beloved Japanese theater performer. She played SailorUranus in the Sailormoon Musicals (SeraMyu) with which I am absolutely obsessed (thus my other website, SeraMyu Antics). Since the moment I first saw her on stage she was my favorite. Her passion for the stage and willingness to go above and beyond for her character, yet still put so much of herself into the part, has captivated me since day one (it also helped that she played my favorite character lol). So I started using 'TakagiNaoSama' as my internet alias because of my love for her. It was way before I ever started cosplaying, but somehow it stuck, and I've since tried to adapt the name to my own persona. I never wanted to claim I am her or try to be her, but it remains a dedication to the inspiration she's been to me.
