A.J. introduced me to takarazuka, and the very first takarazuka show that I saw (thanks to her) was Star Troupe's 2001 performance of Oscar and Andre. Despite knowing nothing about Rose of Versailles, and nothing about takarazuka, and knowing no Japanese (the performances are Japanese language only...) I absolutely adored the performance and really wanted to make a costume from it. After that I watched the Rose of Versailles anime as well as picked up the manga. I loved both of those as well and Rose of Versailles fast became one of my favorites.

Our RoV group was: A.J.as Fersen, Cheryll as Narrator, Judy as the Duchess Moncrief, Tristen Citrine as Monzette, and me as Marie Antionette. There are so many things to love about this group, not only are all the members close friends of mine, and all our costumes insanely sparkly but the anime and musical we based it on is so wonderfully romantic and dramatic. I'm so very happy to have been able to do this project.
