So, what is HCC?

HCC is an acroynm taken from an ad campaign slogan that we found funny. (If you live in California, you might be able to guess where it came from.) We thought it'd be amusing to name the group after the ads as we couldn't think of anything else. It started as a joke, and then it kind of stuck.

Seeing as how there's a copyright issue with using the slogan however, we're gonna stick with the acronym. (Plus, we're not sure everyone would get our odd sense of humor.) Now we just let people decide for themselves what HCC stands for. We've gotten some pretty amusing responses. Feel free to share if you think of any!

Why do you have a group name?

For convenience. ^_^ We needed something to put on the masquerade entry forms when it asked for group name. Plus, it's easier to remember a short 3 letter group name than to rattle off 5 names when referring to us, yeah?

What's up with the site name?

HCC.com was taken so in a moment of genius (or geekiness), Cheryll came up with the site name basing it off the official site for the Matrix (whatisthematrix.com).

Who are the HCC members?

How do you pick your projects?

Whatever we happen to be into at the time and want to cosplay together. We tend to like the same things so it's pretty easy to find something to do as a group. If anything, we have too many projects we want to do and not enough time!

Who makes your costumes?

We do! We help each other out but we pretty much all make our own costumes.

Why are you ignoring my email?

We're not intentionally ignoring your email but only one HCC member handles all the emails. We try to answer all the emails we get but we tend to fall behind with how busy our lives are. Please be patient with us. Thanks!

What is Takarazuka?

Takarazuka is a all-women's theater company in Japan that we are fans of. Many of us have been to Japan multiple times to watch their shows and we love cosplaying from it because the costumes are so elaborate and beautiful.
