This past weekend at RI Comic Con I was finally able to interview the beautiful Kristen Hughey! We both have been trying to set this up since Hartford Comic Con but her schedule just got crazy during the summer. I'm happy to say that it was definitely worth the wait as it was a very relaxed interview. Note that it says Part 1 above so there will be a Part 2 with much more detailed questions. These questions are tailored to Kristen's style of cosplay and will definitely include questions involving Pin-Up plus how she feels about being able to connect with her fans. For now I pretty much covered the basic ("staple" questions I guess you could call them) info but the answers were amazing! I truly appreciate Kristen being able to do this for me <3.

Kristen is based in South Carolina and has been cosplaying for
about 2-3 years so far. Since then she's been traveling around showcasing her incredible work. For RI Comic Con she debuted her Pin-Up Captain America which I loved seeing. Having been a fan of her pin-up work for so long, I was totally excited to see it. It took her about 2-3 days to finish both this and her Velma cosplay which she wore on Sunday! She got into cosplay after experiencing it while going to her first convention. Once she made her first outfit, she was hooked!
Mainly Kristen's a gamer and one of her loves is Street Fighter! So much that her favorite cosplays as of right now are her Cammy and Rainbow Mika! Both of those cosplays looked incredible, seeing Cammy in person was so cool! Her family is also into what she does. Even her Mom got into cosplaying this past PAX East as Arctic Warfare Caitlyn from League of Legends. She even plays the game more than Kristen is and that's saying something XD.

Most days for Kristen pretty much consists of staying inside either playing video games, on the computer or making new cosplays. Just like me, with the addition of school stuff of course :D. Kristen never expected her cosplay to blow up to what it was. She loves going to conventions and seeing the support people give her with visiting her and purchasing prints. Kristen can't really say what her favorite convention is since she loves them all for different reasons. PAX East for the games, Comic Cons for the comics and atmosphere, and small cons like RI Comic Con for its size! I hope you guys enjoy the video and I apologize if it seems hard to hear at some points but you can definitely make out what we're saying!
