I've posted these in other old timey cosplay threads in the past, so it's nothing new but I'll dump a few choice ones. Here's Yaya.

I met her in 2002 at babby's first con in the Lulu and another elaborate costume. I can't remember the series. I remember being really impressed with her work. It really stood out and looked amazing.

Most everyone was shit back then because there was a lack of resources and a developed knowledge base that we have now. We had about 8 colors of wigs in maybe four styles. Closet cosplays, halloween wigs and spraying your natural hair was commonplace. You couldn't just buy your costumes on ebay. You either made that shit or pieced things together from the thrift store. Anyone that could make an elaborate and well constructed costume was god-tier because there were so few of us around.

I could go on and on... but yeah different environment back then.
