Yeah, I get that, of course. And I would think the redcoat thing was cool, though I'd be curious as to who they'd get to play the 'other guys'! The fella in that other pic? I don't think that's cool. I think it's weird. But y'know what? Good luck to him. He's not hurting anyone.


I think it's possible to tolerate and accept something without having to actually like it. I personally wish we were more open about things like that.

I feal ilke I look like that some times when I go out, I know don't but I can feel when people are whatching and juge me... but maybe thats just the parinoa setting in when I'm in a dress that feels way to short

He's taking the piss surely?

Why? Sailor Moon is quite populer with male s in the west than the target for wich it was ment for, 12 year old japaness girls, That said I to have quite a soft spot for the Sailor girls

I would like to Cosplay, but there isn't a place to do it where I live.

A friend of mine was gonna go as Link, myself as Dark Link, his girlfriend as Zelda, and we were going to go looking for Ganondorf.

Redcoat/anime character/comic book character - they're ALL weird to me.

Now, those lads and ladettes in the 501st, RL and MMCC are fine, upstanding people. Who raise money for charity and cheer up sick kids, and to them, it's not just about getting the baps out and on display.

I cosplayed a bit when I was in High School & College, and still have a few of them in the back of my closet.

Last time was about 8-9ish years ago as Haruhi Suzumiya.

Always interested me, never been a thing I've actually done. I am skilled at many forms of creating things and engineering, but costume design is not a thing I have ever been good at (or know a dang thing about for that matter). About the closest I have come was getting a list of places to buy supplies for a super awesome Fremen costume I was going to wear for Halloween back when I was still in college and had an excuse to wear my costume around all day. Had the suit planned out from motorcycle gear, robes sourced, accessories (Kriss knife and various other trinkets), even figured out how to rig a working camel pack and respirator plugs. Then I discovered how much the Dune style blue eye contacts cost and gave up.

In summary: always been vaguely interested, will most likely not be pursuing.

I want to, but not until I'm one of those shredded guys that stands out in the crowd cosplaying as some shirtless character.

Went as Cassidy from Preacher - with a couple of buddies as Jesse and Tulip - to Comic Con this year.

Had a few people pull us aside for pictures, with the relative joy of knowing that the ones who did were actual comics nerds and not just bandwagoners since it hasn't been made into a movie or video game or anything. Aside from that it's all Halloween for me ...
