A photo, circa 1999, of an unidentified woman cosplaying as Nadia from the Secret of Blue Water anime. She is descending a hotel staircase and has abs for days. (Back in the old days, you often would never know who a cosplayer was, unless they were already in your friend circle. Keeping in touch after a five-minute interaction at a con was much more unusual in those days.)
