t is not often you will find a model who moonlights as a comic-con convention goer not only to please her fans but just as much for her own delight. %u201cI love meeting the fans and getting the one on one chance to say thank you for the support. And then there is also the wonderful world of cosplay. Some of these people go all out with their costumes, and they are beyond amazing. I think conventions in general are just a fantastic outlet for people to geek out and be as nerdy as they want to be without judgment and surrounded by like-minded individuals. They are a lot of fun to be at.%u201d At least she readily admits her nerdiness, and her fascination with costumes doesn%u2019t end there. It was at the costume fitting for Arrow, where she says that she experienced the most memorable moment in her career thus far. %u201cI had spoken with Maya Mani, the costume designer for Arrow, over the phone about what my Nyssa Al Ghul costume would be so I had a vague outline in my head as to what it might look like. But when I walked out of the changing room for the first time and saw myself in the mirror my jaw dropped and I couldn%u2019t help but stare. To be completely honest, I had a very long moment where I just silently geeked out about how cool I looked.%u201d Besides enjoying more of Katrina in her Nyssa costume, we can look forward to seeing her in an upcoming horror movie directed by Austin Read starring Tara Holt, Bryce Johnson, and herself, details of which she says will soon be provided on her website. And for someone who seems to have it all together and is attempting to enjoy life to the fullest, we had to ask Katrina the clich%u00e9 question of what her definition of happiness is. Our best guess is it might have something to do with her viewpoint on diets, when she says they are too hard to maintain in the long run and make you feel like you are missing out on life. Cheers to that Katrina! However, her true answer was a bit more sincere and funny.%u201cI feel like it might have something to do with enjoying the little moments or being able to look back on your life with fondness and love, but it%u2019s something that I work on every day, and I am constantly having to re-analyze and redefine. So for simplicity, I am just going to say%u2026red velvet cake that helps you lose weight, cure cancer, and makes you smarter. Come on NASA. Ball%u2019s in your court.%u201dNow who can argue with that?by Darcy Tharp
