Dancer Britney Knight dressed as Luna, the black cat from Sailor Moon. “My friend is more into anime and hentai, but I am slowly getting into it,” she says. “My tattoos are my favorite accessory. The ones on my arm represent the two sides in life: the good and the bad. I try to make sure I match all the time.”

Dancer Ocea Coslett was dressed as Hello Kitty. “I’m wearing the chain because I’m a sub in BDSM. BDSM and cats inspired my fashion tonight, as well as Japanese fashion,” she says. “These boots are my favorite accessory.” A cat simply known as Freckles is a “professional cuddler.” “Black and white inspired my outfit tonight,” Freckles tells us. “I love anime and read many titles. My collar is my favorite accessory.”

Steve Howarth, crew chief at a pizzeria in Monument, wore a custom black-leather wolf mask. “I added this fur trim to the military coat I found at the ARC. I also added three pairs of handcuffs to my pants. Handcuffs are my favorite accessory” he says. “I’m more of a comic fan than an anime fan. Gothic fashion inspires my fashion as well.” Dancer Luna Mindy dressed up as a wolf, too. “I really like wolf girls. I’m more into the goth scene than the anime scene. I love the colors purple and black in fashion as well,” says Mindy.

Regardless of what subculture you belong to — be it goth, anime, cosplay, hentai, animals or Japanese fashion in general — go out and have a good time while staying on trend, Denver.
