Interview

I did a fun interview with Carbon Costume, a site whose theme is "Famous outfits made from everyday gear" - if you'd like to check it out, it's here:

I talk about how I got into costuming and started my websites, Mad Men, the origin story of the "You don't have the buns to be Princess Leia" meme, and more!

Enjoy!
