Costumes and Cosplay

Every year, sometimes twice a year to go a whole crowd of dedicated fans rather than an event in their city convention center. The passer-by can from this a bit unusual - seeing people with blue hair or swinging large foam props. The forty men until they play football in full animal suits (see the mascot is thinking).

I had the pleasure of attending a few of these conventions - and it was definitely a way to those who never talk to before. Theglazed over look of "what is happening on the ground in front of him?" is readily apparent on their faces when a group of young people to do "cosplay" past them.

Thus the question burning in your mind is, "what is cosplay?" and "Why is my son, daughter, brother, sister, grandfather or interested in this?"

Let's take a step back and consider the word "cosplay". Cosplay is a word of Japanese, that is formed from the words "costume" and "play" is formed. The culture affects people behind cosplayblows his often self-made costumes and accessories to show to a small community of people who are interested in participating in cosplay - or watching others do cosplay. The designs range from simple construction with a foam costume and leashes, the richly decorated works of art. Some participants of the cosplay will "act the part" while in costume - this is that not to act out of character. In larger towns it is an event in the "con"(convention), in which participants are judged by their costumes - the best deserved a prize.

A common misconception is that people who just do cosplay in characters of Japanese origin. Many cosplayers gather their inspiration from a variety of sources: movies, art, historical figures, viral internet media and entertainment from around the world - not just Japanese animation. For the course of time, start cosplaying conventions, more and more like a Halloween masquerade glancethan anything else - displays a wide range of inspiring diversity.

To cosplayers out there - I salute you!
