Darleen is a Jill of all trades. She is a beauty that does everything from make up to making clothing. With Cosplays covering Game of Thrones to Vikings, Darleen shows a great love and passion for Cosplaying. I was able to get her to curb those feelings long enough for me to get her in the hot seat for us.
