Does Anyone Cosplay?

hi darlings. okay, i'm a big comicbook nerd. and one thing i've alwas wanted to do is to go to a convention in cosplay.

cosplay is where fans dress up as characters from cartoons, comics, or videogame characters they like. i have a few characters i'd love to do and am sure i could pull them off very well.

i mean i know very well that comicons are a completely different terrain than a small costumed gathering or even pride fests and tat there is a risk of causng a scene more there than at more comfortable environments.

anyways just wondering if anyone here has done cosplay at comicons before and if they had any advice/horror stories or fond memories about it.

I cosplay as a character form an anime I like. It's pretty fun but I've only gotten to do it once =/ I've only been to one anime con and it was so fun :D My poor mom had to chaperone but she did make my outfit for me and it looked great. And of course I cosplay as a male character ;)

you know theres no reason to be scared to cosplay at concentions...im not sure if you heard but there is a guy who stood up for crossdressing rights on anime conventions...his code name is Man-Faye....he dressed as faye valintine from cowboy bebop and was kicked out of the con for his apperence and started to protest against it for equal cosplay rights.....he quickly became famouse due to his bold uprising to this....last year the cosplay management of conventions honored him and let him come back to the cons as man-faye and his other cross characters.....i for one am proud of his action...lemmy find a picture of him i hope laura aprove of pictures shown

a link will do....hes not trying to make himself look pretty he is just stating the fact that characters can be portrayed by either sex, ugly or beautifull, fat or skinny

I cosplay as well as crossplay. It's a very safe environment to crossdress in. Lots of crossplayers (not all) are actually transsexuals as well.

Hey,

I love cosplay. I know this cool site that you might want to check out. It is www.cosplaymagic.com. It has so many different costumes and they can even create costumes to order if you send them pics of the character. The only problem is that they don't do boots or metal. They do bootcovers and holsters and the like. I think that it is one of the coolest sites around for cosplay.

Hugs,

Kristal

I have found that anime is one of the greatest things around. I also think that it is a great chance for trans folks to be able to dress as themselves in another role. I have a few cosplay outfits but I find it fun to be whoever I want to be.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
