Cosplay Anyone? (:

Haha I coudln't help but to make this thread! Anyone ehre interested in cosplay? (:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really love cosplay, althoguh I only started this year! Luckily I already know how to hand sew, and I'm gonig to start working on my Higurashi/Lucky Star cosplay soon ^.^

Inform me on what cosplay is xD

I dont know it, shoot me!

I've never tried it before, but i'm pretty sure I'd be bad at it

Also polerberr i think cosplay is when you dress up as characters from an anime, right?

Cosplay means "costume play" meaning you cand ress up as anything It can be from animes,mangas,video games,movies,t.v shows,live actions,made characters.. or anything you want

Oooh cool xD That sounds fun but there isnt many materials to work with where I live :S

But do people just do it randomly whenever they feel like it, or is it a lifestyle or do people just organise cosplay events?

Haha that reminds me, Sonique wants to dress up as Nyan cat some time this summer and run about town with it xD

i know people cosplay for comic con... I wanted to go but I had something else to do

Cosplay is jsuty a hobbie.. a life style? Nawh but people in Japan and other aprts of asia can become "Cosplay Idols" basically jsut mdoels who model cosplay xD You can go to conventions for cosplay, if that's how you roll (: And yeah some people just cosplay randomly whenever they feel like it. And yush you can start your own mini con in your area (:

And you should so totally find another con to go to then (: They're really fun!

Yeah I'd love to go to a con but there's not much going on in Ireland. I'll be moving to Holland next year, so maybe they have awesome things to do there, but you just gave me an idea for my 16th birthday Hehe I'm going as Link from Zelda Or maybe someone else.... I have no idea

:O Europe has quite a few conventions I believe. You just gotta find one.

I will search for them in Ireland.

:O here's the alrgest one : http://www.eirtakon.com/

I never knew about this And it's relatively cheep too xD

You don't need to be dressed up to go, though, right? As a noob, I'd prefer to just go and see everything ^^ It would be fun lol. ((Although I don't know how I'm going to get a lift there :O I live on the other side of Ireland and my parents might end up making me choose between this and the LOTR orchestra in Dublin and in full honesty, I'd much rather go to see the LOTR thing ^^ ((I'm a huge LOTR nerd xP))))

ahaha. And nawh your better off just wearing your regular day clothes. I only wore a wig for a cosplay once, and you'll be surprised what people post onlnie about them.

Oh lol. Ok well I was going to just go in normal clothes anyway ^^ I think I can go.

You can go? Awesome yoo! As we are speaking of cosplay- my mom helped me make me a skirt for my cosplay.. but now I need a fuku..D:

Cool lol ^^ Well I still need to find a way to get to Dublin lol, but my Dad can probably take me... Then I also need someone to go with (shouldnt bee too hard though) aaand I need to make sure it doesnt get in the way of school :S Thats the biggest concern But I'm sure I can go ^^

((I'm gonna get an awesomeface smiley xD and delete some of the more useless ones xP))

((Ohhh and do you like the color change? It's not much but it's a start lolz))

(It's nice. lawlz.)

And eyah sometimes cons do get in the way of school.. although it wouldn't bother me.. I like breaks from school x3 yay I wore cosplay to a con and got some nice photos ^^

Cool yeah I just learned about Nomcon. An anime convention here in Ireland, but I missed it xD But I think I found a friend who could come with me to the cosplay thingy ^^

:O Aweomse! Who ya gonna cosplay as?

I dunno I might just go normal clothes because I don't have the right clothes for dressing up and we don't have any local stores that sell that type of stuff xP

I'd love to go as Link. Is it weird for girls to cosplay guys? xDD

No that's normal. If you want to cosplay someone of the opposite gender it's called crossplay! x3. And there's actually not alot of local costume shops for cosplay specfic stuff unless if you live in Asia x3. Oh how I wish I lived there. You could try to buy the fabrics and make it on your own there are many onlnie stores you can purchase form too

Lol I could but I'm a complete noob with costumes xD I made a ninja costume for a youth club party xD It was terrible but so was everybody elses xP Maybe my sister could help. She's sort of good at that type of stuff. But still Link looks difficult to make xP And the hair... I have red hair xD

Lol I can get this costume for138 dollars NO WAY! XP I'll try and make one lolz

No thats probably not too bad. The patns you could buy. The shirt .. you could probaby hopefully find a long golf shirt that colour, then cut off the collar and cut the two side a little and hem it up, or get yuor measurements and make it yourself. The hat you could also make yourself. And that costume price is pretty cheap,even if it doesn't come with a wig. Most places would charge jsut about200-500 for a cosplay like that.
