To cosplay or not to cosplay

Posted on January 21st, 2008 in Anime, Cosplay, Japan by sassy

That is the question I’ve been asking myself, well me my hubby and are friend are going to a japanese festival in september. There’s gonna be all sorts of stuff there’s lots of stalls tradional geisha’s, japanese food stalls, martial arts show, samurai sword demonstration, anime and manga and much more. I’ve never been to an event like this before so it should be really good fun. There having a new event a cosplay competition you have to walk down a catwalk and you get photo’s took aswell you can also win a prize. I’ve never done anything like that in my life though but I’ve allways found it interesting I’d want a really good quality costume though but I read that to enter the competition you have to make your own costume.

I have to say that’s gonna be a hard task for me, i cant even sow. I was gonna buy a cosplay outfit from ebay and there was a website i found that do hand made costumes. I think i’ll have a go making my own i’ve got plenty of time to put one together if it turns out to look too scary to wear I’ll just wait till there’s an event where you dont need to have a costume you’ve made yourself. This video should give me some ideas for what outfit i can make hope you enjoy.

    Well, if both you and your husband are going to cosplay, may I recommend matching traditional Samurai armor. It’s taboo for a female to be a Samurai, but as it is becoming more mainstream in cartoons, anime, and comics it is sure to turn some heads…don’t forget to take a lot of photos or video and post them!
