King of the Monsters
Cindy Soumeru's GodZilla mask
COSTUME CANCELED
Godzilla came to my attention not so long ago. Unlike most fans, I did not grew up watching Godzilla movies. I did, however, love dinosaurs and dragons. One day I saw a Godzilla vs King Kong picture in a children’s dinosaur book. I kept that picture in my mind. It was always there. Then when I started to explore the internet, I looked up pictures of Godzilla and giant monsters. It’s hard to remember what my first Japanese Godzilla movie was. I still haven’t watched them all, but do have many favorites. The suits inspired me to make my own. The first attempt failed, the second…well, i’m working on it now. Godzilla is now part of me, and this obsession will never fade away.
