Here is the our first interview with half of the Mexico pair for WCS 2009 Abigail Garcia (aka Maskerpa)

Q: What manga and anime do you like, why do you like those titles? What are your favorite characters and why?
A: My favorite manga is Sengoku Basara! (all about SB) because I'm in love with samurai and japanese history.
My favorite anime is a tough one, there are many I like, I can't choose just one.
My favorite characters are Azai, Kojuuro and Date from Sengoku Basara. Mugen from Samurai Champloo and Sakata Gintoki from Gintama, I like them all because they're like my best friends!

Q: Are you watching any anime right now? If so, what are you watching?
A: Yes I'm watching Gintama, Bleach, Sengoku Basara, Naruto, Darker than Black, and Kateikyoshi Hitman Reborn.

Q: How did you first get into cosplay?
A: I can't really remember but i think because I always liked disguises and I like anime and manga so it made a good mix.

Q: What was your criteria in choosing your costumes in general?
A: First the height because I'm really short, besides that I usually make crossplay so i choose a character i like and fits me.

Q: What does the recognition of being selected for this competition mean to you?
A: Well, I guess it means that I did a good job, especially when I've got a great teammate like Sabi!

Q: How was the reaction of your family when you won the TNT competition?
A: My mom said "Yeah i want you to buy a lot of stuff for me!"
My dad said "How you'll pay the trip?"
My sister said "I knew it!"
My friends said "We'll miss you Momoiro! Let's go get some drinks!"

Q: What do you find fascinating about Japan?
A: History, culture, anime, manga, food, music, o-sake, geisha, everything!

Q: What do you hope or expect to find once you have arrived in Japan?
A: Sake and Geisha in a tea house hahaha!

Q: Do you like Japanese food? If so, what do you like?
A: I love it! Sukiyaki, Ramen, Katsudon and obviously o-sake!

Could you please provide a comment to your present and future fans and readers of this blog?
No fans, international friends haha, well... doing cosplay allows you to be who you aren't, dress as you don't dress, do what you don't do, do your hair as you wouldn't do it, act in a way that you wouldn't normally act, speak in a way that you don't speak. For that reason, every day you do cosplay is a new life to be who you want to be. All cosplayers rules!

Thanks for that Abi!! Next up is the interview with Abi's partner Sabina Arvide.
