1. Do you like to wear special costumes?

Yes, I’m really into special costumes. To me, dressing up and pretending to be someone can be a fun and safe way to find out what it’s like to be someone or something else. Inhibitions disappear when you’re being someone else, so at Halloween or any theme party I can dress up as any character I want without being judged, and I’m really excited to come up with my own ideas of how to do the make-up and pick accessories to match the costume I’m wearing.

2. Did you try any special costumes when you were young?
As a kid I loved to play dress-up. I had a whole costume suitcase full of all kinds of sparkly dresses, scarves/ spiderman suits, tuxedo. I remember having playdates with my friends and we’d all dress up and get lost in our own little world of mermaids, princesses, and genies/ superheros like Spiderman, Superman, the Flash. We all got so excited while engaging in dress-up play.

3. When was your last time to wear special costumes?

Maybe when I was 7 or 8, I remembered I was so into the spiderman outfit as spiderman was hands-down my favorite hero back then. I suppose every kid wants to be the iconic Spider-Man at some point in their life, cause Spider-Man is so cool when he can shoot webs out of his wrists, and swing through the air and he’s strong enough to fight bad guys. So, for Halloween that year, I pestered my mom to buy me a Spider-Man costume, and I finally got a chance to put it on and pretended that it gave the strength and agility of a spiderman.
