Carousel Cosplay/Padme Peaches

Carousel_costumes has been into costuming since childhood. She began cosplaying about 20 years ago when she made a Trek uniform for her first convention. She joined Jedi OKC in 2009 and an obsession was born. She currently has 70 costumes in her collection. Star Wars is a favorite, especially Padme Amidala. Carousel_costumes has won two best-in-show awards and many First Places at various cosplay contests. She loves to cosplay for a cause more than anything.
