1. How long have you been cosplaying?

Just two years, though dressing up has been a favourite activity since I was a baby.

2. Why did you choose to cosplay this character?

When I was born, Beauty and the Beast came out. Growing up, I felt that Belle was my special Princess. She was a book nerd, just like me, who just didn't seem to fit in. My love for her has grown over the years. I love looking at all the new ways people are drawing the princesses, and one of my favourites was the Burlesque versions. So when it came time to deciding on what to do next, it was a no brainer. This is my adaptation of that photo.

3. How long did it take you to complete?

It took about a month to complete.
