Don't think I've seen a thread about this here (or at least, one that is still being used), so I figured it was about time one was made, since it's such a part of the otaku/fan lifestyle.
I've been a cosplayer for about 5-6 years now, but usually am able to get to one or two conventions a year due to where I live and the whole..money thing. sweatdrop Most of my costumes are crossplay, since I tend to not like a lot of female characters or their outfits, but it's not really a stretch sometimes to look male anyway, since a lot of guy characters are pretty girly. ^.^
So, does anyone else cosplay or attend conventions? ninja

I've always wanted to. There was a convention going on only 45 minutes from my house and my cousin went to it but i couldnt go. ;_;
He said there were tables and tables of manga. (that would've been heaven for me. xD)

Most of the conventions I go to are out of state, since where I live there aren't any. Well, okay, the high schools put one on...but it only lasted like an hour and I was just like.."no. just no." and refused to go anywhere near it. sweatdrop xd

I think it would be awesome to go to a convention and dress up. Actually for me it would be awesome just to dress up as one of my favourite characters... sweatdrop

Most real cosplayers, in all honesty, don't care much about personal appearance, but more about the quality/appearance of the costume. Though you occaissonly (...or quite often, depending on the con) get the people new to it/out of costume that will point out every little personal flaw just so they can think they look experinced.
I got some crap over my Kyo (Dir en Grey) costume because I'm a lot taller than Kyo, and my 4inch platform boots didn't exactly help either. But to most serious cosplayers, something like that isn't such a big deal... I'm a tall female, and secondly I'm not a 5 foot tall Asian guy. That's not gonna change, and experienced cosplayers ignore stuff like that.

I would absolutely love to cosplay seriously, but there just hasn't been enough time what with schoolwork and all. So most of my cosplays are just outfits thrown together to "resemble" a character.
