Cosplay is for Everyone

Cailin began her cosplay journey at Otakon 1999, at age 13. Her very first costume? Trunks, from Dragon Ball Z. It consisted of a thrifted jacket, purple hair spray, and a paper “patch” pinned to the sleeve of the coat.

Since then, Cailin has achieved the level of Master Craftsman, has earned a number of awards for her presentation and construction, and judges, MCs and runs cosplay contests on the on the eastern shore. She focuses on clean construction, sewing, patterning, and leatherwork, and flies the banner of “Cosplay is for Everyone” no matter race, gender, body, or other things that make you you!
