P TMAG || E V E N T S SPOTLIGHT MODEL TANYA TATE Photographer: MILES LONG 6 | PILLOW TALK MAGAZINE PTM: There are still quite a few people that are not familiar with “Cosplay”, can you elaborate on what it is and your attraction to it? Tanya Tate: Cosplay is simply costume play. For me it’s about my love of superheroes, dressing up as my favorite character and going to comic conventions. I went to my ?rst San Diego Comic Con dressed as Emma Frost (XMen) in 2010. I posted some pictures online. The fans loved them so I started a Cosplay blog JustaLottaTanya.com. From there my blog grew to include reviews of comic books, movies and my geeky collection of toys. PillowTalkMag.com
