Alexia: No problem at all! I am always happy to chit chat about costumes!
Brian: You probably get asked this alot. How and when did you get started in cosplay?
Brian: You probably get asked this alot. How and when did you get started in cosplay?
Alexia: Around 5 years ago is when I put on my first suit, over the last couple years is when I really started going to a hefty amount of conventions and collecting more costumes than real clothes in my closet. I always had a love for comics/anime/games growing up, I remember in elementary taping pictures of phoenix and sailor moon inside my deck (I was such a rebel ha!). However I grew up in a smallish town in Wisconsin where nerds come far and few and conventions were like Narnia to find. I had moved to Florida where I met a group of friends who made costumes they also popped my cherry in the convention scene. I'm being the geek and halloween advocate that I was immediately wanted to get dressed up, and the rest grew from there.
Brian: How many costumes have you worn and what is your overall favorite so far?
Alexia: Definitely more than I can count on my hands, I have a lot of wearable costumes however I never stop trying to add more. I update them until I think there exactly what I was looking for in the character or costume. I also buy and save a lot of costume pieces that are from characters I know I will want to do in the future, you could say my closet almost looks like a horder. It's really hard to pick a favorite since there are elements of each costume that I like for different reasons, it's like saying who is your favorite band or movie, there all my favorites. If I had to narrow it down though I really love my Black Widow costume, it's one of my simpler costumes but I really feel like I am walking into a war when I wear it. I love the core of that character, fearless, intelligent, and master of her skill.
Brian: What is your favorite convention that you have been to and why?
Alexia: Each convention is always different from another no matter what area or what size, I love big conventions but the smaller ones seem to be more intimate and I feel like it's just one big party! As a costumer however I have to give credit to Dragon*Con, it's the super bowl of costumes and I get to see some of the best in there element. It's really hard to narrow it down they all hold a special place in my heart.
Brian: Your Batwoman and Black Widow are my favorite of your costumes.. If these two iconic characters ever fought, who would you think will win and why?
Alexia: Batgirl and Black Widow are on about the same level as far as there characters are written so it's a really a hard choice. I do love you Babz but I think Black Widow would win by a bit. Even though I think Batgirl could put up a good fight, Widow is a master of martial arts and weapons so I feel she has a bit more skill behind her.
Brian: You have worn costumes from both DC and Marvel Comics.which is your favorite brand and characters?
Alexia: I was always a way bigger fan of Marvel when I was younger (Spider-man and X-men were always my top) However in the later years of my life I grew to fall in love with more of DC and more or less the Batman set, even when I was younger I don't think I could have grasped how well each character in the series is written. Also when your a kid things like flying and superpowers usually catch your eye more than detectives (well at least for me) so for now I say it's a draw. Though I do have to give the New 52 credit though I thought that is beating Avengers VS X-men.
Brian: Do you consider yourself a Geek or Nerd and why?

Brian: Do you consider yourself a Geek or Nerd and why?
Alexia: I consider my self a person with a passion... geek, nerd, weirdo, costumer, goofball, there are to many different words to put it. I am just an artist that get's to wake up and work in an environment that get's her creative mind to thrive. I am honestly blessed that I found where I have fit in over the last few years and I would never change it for the world, even with some stress that comes with it, I get to play pretend all the time.
Brian: Who and what is your biggest inspiration in your life?
Brian: Who and what is your biggest inspiration in your life?
Alexia: There are many things that drive my imagination everywhere from superheros, to art, to even my kitten when he is running around. There is one person that I always look back upon who I think made me the person who I am today and that was my great grandmother Mimi. To me she was never really the typical grandmother, she was in her 80's and still would get glammed up and sip gallon sized margaritas. She always gave the best advice and is the real drive to my confidence which still sticks with me even though she has passed. She always told me I was going to be the Marylin Monroe of my time, I was destined to be great, and she could tell through my eyes that I had a heart of gold. Whenever I get down on myself or nervous I always remember her words and how I miss her dearly
Brian: You must have alot of guys asking for your number at the conventions. What is your most craziest encounter at a convention or anywhere?
Alexia: I honestly could write a book about the interesting things that happen or observe at conventions. I am honestly the worst when it comes to odd situations, I usually just giggle and roll it off my shoulders because it's all in good fun. There my fans and I love them to death the only time I get into really uncomfortable situations is outside of the convention centers/hotels. And anyone who knows me knows I do not have an aggressive personality at all and it takes a lot to offend me but sometimes I have to give them a weird face and ask "did you really just hear what you said?".
Alexia: Seriously I wonder why I have not met this awesome lady earlier! I remember seeing her at Philly Comic Con and lost her before I could tell her how much I loved her Artemis costume. Later we were both on a site called Hero Hotties and I was fan girling over her photoshoot saying I need to meet her! To my surprise she was at Anime Festival Orlando with a mutual friend (which was so out of the blue considering it's a smaller convention not many people fly to). I ended up hanging out with her that weekend and again at Dragon*con and I just grew to love her spunky personality. She's one of those types of people you immediately trust and respect which sometimes is hard to find in the convention world. I really hope we can plan out a few costumes together, I am a big fan of her's and I think she is an overall amazing person.
Brian: Again, thank you for spending time with us but before we let you go. Final question: if you could meet any character or actor who would it be?
