According to the hip and trendy millennials attracted to the “Cosplay” vogue it’s a lot like Halloween on steroids. Dressing up as a character or concept isn’t just a casual thing. Cosplayers don’t just copy “their character’s outfits – they might even ‘role-play’ as characters, copying their mannerisms and gestures.” Below, you’ll find a smoking hot gallery with just a few examples of the costumed creativity.
Cosplay Girls Gone Wild
Comic Pop Culture Conventions
The sub-culture evolution of modern Cosplay has roots to 15th century carnival goers but didn’t become a huge trend until the First World Science Fiction Convention back in 1939. By the 1980’s, every comic or pop culture convention is overrun by costumed characters.
The basic idea is to ” portray a character.” After you select your alter-ego the next step is to “accurately” copy the exact look, “down to the details” with costumes, wigs, accessories, and props. After that, bonus points can be earned in Cosplay social circles by putting on your own “creative spin.”
Bigger than ever, the Cosplay community is thriving. People make a lot of money at it Top-tier “cosplayers like Enji Night, Hana Bunny, or Jessica Nigri have made cosplaying their career. They get paid to dress up, attend cons, and even promote brands!
