Hey guys, my name is Taylor Gunnar. I'm
0:02
a cosplayer, an adult performer, and I'm
0:05
so excited to be interviewed by you
0:06
today. Let's pick a card. What's your
0:09
favorite fan interaction you've had? Oh
0:11
my gosh, I don't know.
0:14
Um, I've been really lucky to be
0:16
traveling in this industry for several
0:18
years. Um, I think one of my favorite
0:20
ones is there was a group of junior
0:21
Marines that all um drove several hours
0:24
to meet me and I snuck [music] them into
0:26
the VIP after party and it was adorable.
0:30
I loved it so much and I still talk to
0:31
them when they get promoted. So, shout
0:34
out to Moose. [music] Congratulations on
0:36
your promotion. Do you think cosplay
0:38
helps you build stronger parasocial
0:39
bonds? Absolutely. I think so. Um, I
0:42
think the cool thing about cosplay is
0:44
that [music] we all can bond over the
0:46
things that we nerd out about. No matter
0:48
what, um, no matter how niche your
0:50
cosplay is, there's going to be somebody
0:52
that knows who it is and then it starts
0:53
a conversation. If you're socially
0:55
awkward like me, cosplay helps talking
0:57
to people a lot. What platforms do you
1:00
use besides only fans? Oh my god, all of
1:01
them. Um, slushy, loyal fans, fansly,
1:06
sex panther. Shout out to Sex Panther.
1:08
Um, and Fansley and Oh my god. [music]
1:10
Do you manage everything yourself or
1:12
have a team? I manage everything myself
1:14
cuz nobody can copy how [ __ ] weird I
1:16
am. Um, I don't think an AI would be
1:18
able to handle it and I don't think I
1:20
could handle passing over my friendships
1:22
that I've made over to a team that
1:24
[music] I don't I just wouldn't be able
1:26
to do it. It'd be weird. What's your
1:27
favorite character to cosplay?
1:30
>> Um, man, I don't know. I love doing all
1:32
of them. This weekend, my favorite one
1:34
was Bowsette. Uh, like a Christmas
1:36
Bowette. [music] It was really cool.
1:37
