I love good cosplay, and though I believe everyone should express themselves as they see fit, I have a difficult time accepting the lesser quality cosplays.

D: lolI'm in a pretty sad predicament. I love cosplay to death (but I am also elitist about it, only GOOD cosplay that really looks like the character). I love costumes in general, and cosplay is like the best of both costuming and Japanese media. Unfortunately, I've never had the means to cosplay anyone! I can't sew and I've never known anyone who can.Well wait, one time I tried to cosplay Shinya (Dir en Grey), but I didn't finish the dress in time. It was ok, though, because it looked like crap and I would have been too embarrassed to wear it anyway.I think I like gothic lolita for the same reason I like cosplay. I'm an artist and I like treating the body as a work of art too. ^^ “If you’re weighing 300lb… not so great to dress up as something as skimpy as Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop.”

The problem is... I'm black. XD!! So I have to find black or tanned anime characters for cos-play. But I agree with you. It's cool to dress as your favourite anime character, but at least look somewhat like them. If you're weighing 300lb... not so great to dress up as something as skimpy as Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. I cos-play. The problem is… I’m black. XD!!
