Does Anyone Cosplay?

[Guest dolly]

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 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

coolness! if you dont mind me prying who is it you cosplayed as?

ive always wanted to cosplay. almos all o them are feminine except for like two but those two are for good reason: zombie spierman cus spiderman doesnt nitpick the people he saves hes got a big heart(plus the zombie factor is a bonus) and bijomaro from azumi but hes a very affeminate character complete with soft pink eye shadow,long silky black hair and pink lipgloss oh! and he is alwas carrying around a rose.

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,

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.
