Sample Answers

Do you like to wear costumes? Actually, I'm a big fan of dressing up in costumes, especially during Halloween or themed parties. I think it's a great way to express my creativity and get into character. Plus, it's always fun to see how people react when they see me in a crazy outfit!

Did you wear any costumes when you were young? Oh, yeah! My parents used to dress me up in all sorts of costumes when I was a kid. I remember one year I was a little superhero, and another year I was a pirate. I think it's because my parents wanted to encourage my imagination and creativity, and it's something that's stuck with me to this day.

When was the last time you wore a costume? Hmm, let me think... I think it was last year at a friend's birthday party. We had a masquerade ball theme, and I wore this elaborate mask and a fancy suit. It was a lot of fun, and it was great to see everyone else's creative costumes too. I love how costumes can bring people together like that.

Do you ever buy costumes? Occasionally, yeah. If I'm going to a themed party or event, I'll usually try to find a costume that fits the theme. I like to support local costume shops or thrift stores, too, because they often have unique and quirky pieces that you won't find anywhere else. Plus, it's a great way to reuse and recycle old materials.
