Manzi DeYoung by Duncan Cheng

While modeling was Manzi DeYoung's first job, she's actually a full-time costume designer, and a cosplayer on the side. "Funnily enough, I learned to make costumes through cosplay," she says. "I was in college for concept art and making cosplays on the side for fun, and started to learn then just how much I really loved making costumes. Once I graduated, I started exploring angles to work what I loved about cosplay into a career, and now seven years later, I'm a full time (and self-taught) costume creator with a lot of films and TV shows under my belt!"

As talented as she is dry and witty (ask her what she does when she first wakes up in the morning and she has this to say, "Well, besides 'check social media' which is probably everyone's actual answer to this: Stretches! Gotta keep this meat prison in working order"), Manzi is also opened-minded when it comes to dating. When it comes to attraction to people, it's all about sense of humor. "They have to make me laugh. This feels cliché to say, but unless you can carry on a good bit with me, this won't go very far. Joke-based attraction!"
