I talked about her day job before in some previous posts, but for this one, I'll be talking a bit more about Haleigh's hobbies; in this specific case, her love of cosplay.
For a good portion of her life, Haleigh had a fascination with dressing up. As a child, she was the kind of girl that always ran around town, school, and home, dressed up as a princess (or a pirate, or a dinosaur, or whatever happened to be the thing that she was into that month). Needless to say, Halloween was her favorite time of year, just for the fact that she could wear a costume on that day without feeling too out of place.
Anyway, as she got older, she eventually learned about cosplay and started attending various anime and gaming conventions, as a means to not only be a part of a community, but also to hone her craft of making and sewing together her own costumes (since such conventions tended to also offer seminars on how to better improve one's cosplay, along with the usual fair of dealer's rooms, artist alleys, and various con rooms for watching anime and playing games).
So with that said, here's Haleigh dressed up as Mai Shiranui of the Fatal Fury/King of Fighters franchise (and definitely showing off plenty of leg there, as any good Mai cosplayer is wont to do). X3
Oh and in case it needs to be mentioned, Haleigh doesn't play a lot of videogames, despite tending to cosplay as mostly videogame characters; she is kind-of an anime fan though, with a lot of her anime preferences leaning more towards the "magical girl" genre than anything else. :)
