Anyone here into cosplay and conventions? I used to be so into anime and conventions ten to five years ago, but now bc of disability I can't participate as much, but I try! I've moved away from anime cosplay to cosplaying just whatever the hell i want. I'm working on Velma from scooby doo and hope to do Cersei from GOT for my next more complicated costume. You can see many of my costumes here but this is my most recent cosplay, Stahma Tarr from Defiance:

Aw, my first girlfriend was into cosplay and stuff like that, and we used to go to conventions and everything. I don't think I've ever cosplayed a female character, though, apart from dressing up as Galadriel or Hermione as a kid, so I guess it was some kind of drag-when-you're-too-young-for-clubs thing for me. Oh, and if it counts as cosplay in the context of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, I've got to admit I still have a Frank-N-Furter costume sitting in my closet Anyway, here's a crappy picture of baby goth me as Eric from The Crow:

I used to be reaaally into cosplay when I still watched anime. I'm always amazed at how accurate some people make their costumes. And how expensive it is. What I don't like is this elitist thinking amongst many cosplayers. They think it needs to be a perfect costume, but cosplay should be about how much fun it is, not who has the best costume.

Cosplay a contraction of the words costume play, is a hobby in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character.
