I know plenty of cosplayers in their 30s or older. 6710853 is right. They grow up and still cosplay but they don't do as much due to life and that anime cons are populated by 14 yr olds on babby's first day away from parents.
Older cosplayers move on to comic conventions and other cons.

What I want to know is if cosplayers who don't do costumes much still sew for their everyday life.
I do because it's really nice to wear stuff made exactly how I want it. Also it seems like such a waste to hone all those sewing skills and not use them for your house or wardrobe.

Saw Alisa at AWA last year and Momocon this year. She had on an Ariel cosplay at Momo, and I remember walking by thinking what a fucking fantastic body she has, and that the girl even reminded me of Alisa. Then whoops, say photos of her the next week and it was her.

She wasn't cosplaying at AWA, but out of sheer... I don't know, kind of starstruck? I asked for a photo, and while she was confused she obliged.

I feel so spaghetti about doing that. I really think she's beautiful and sweet, but man, asking to take photos of people in plain clothes kind of squicks me.

I have to photo around here somewhere, let me grab it.

>>6711478
There were never any concrete details. Some said bleach poisoning from bleaching her hair (completely laughable), others a car accident.

She didn't die around the time of the tsunami, either.

Some people think that she only pretended to have died because she no longer wanted to cosplay, and that fans would be upset at her over that (because hey, creepy otaku).

Either way, her sister did make a post saying she had passed (with no details aside from that) and no one has seen or heard from Saya since.

She's not really the best Link cosplayer anymore. Many have done better cosplays of Link than her but they don't have the same following or have their entire promoted identity revolve around the cosplay so they often fall under the radar. She never really looked like Link to begin with anyway and relies too much on her photoshopping herself.

As for looking her age... If I didn't know who she was I'd definitely guess she'd be somewhere in the 30-35 range.

A lot of the better ones who did it for fun/friends instead of attention whoring still wear the occasional costume, but they go to cons with a more adult attendee pool like dragoncon and comic cons. They also dress more age appropriately, like as comic book heroines/more mature looking characters. You're guaranteed to find Lindze, Heidi, Limebarb, Charmedseed etc like this. But they don't really go to a lot of animoo cons anymore or dress as young characters.

When I started cosplaying 13 years ago and I remember Yaya was always 6-8 years older than me. I'm 27 now. Hearing people (ITT: Yaya) try to convince others that she's under 30 is laughable.

Don't try to determine her age by the pics she posts, they're all shopped. When you see her in person you can tell she's over 30 by her face, flabby mom arms, and fluffy marshmallow body with watermelons stuck to her chest.

When I met Yaya at AZ in 2001 she was still married to Jeremy. It was right before she went all apeshit on Twinkle and Jeff, tried to get them fired from their jobs, then almost got her ass beat by Lindze for it. Now they're friends. Fun times.

This anon is correct. She was married during the early 2000's and has been 27 forever. Shit she has con pictures from that time floating around on the early internet and I doubt a 14 year old (at that time) would be allowed to wear the revealing cosplay she did. Anyone buying the idea that she's in her late 20's has shitty eyesight. She layers makeup like crazy and her lips (nearly blown out now to boot) are not that of a 27 year old who doesn't take drugs (like Lindsay Lohan).

Cosplaying doesn't have to = being online though.
I mean when I started in 2000 I didn't even know there was an online community for cosplay. It took years, I think 2003? maybe 2002.
When I went to my first con, it was just because I thought that it would be cool to dress up, that I wore a costume at all. I saw the con advertised in a magazine, not online :) I found out dressing up was called "cosplay" until I was at the con :)

It's more of a time-consuming and generally expensive hobby than say, collecting comic books. When you've got a job and other real-world obligations, it can be hard to find time to work on creative endeavours.

As far as I can gather from her Formspring, she may have a career going in accounting, involving 50-60 hour work weeks. She's also taken up photography and has stated she feels more comfortable behind a camera than in front of it, so this more or less explains her absence from cosplay.
