Masquerade Me - Misadventures in Cosplaying

So, I’ve talked about the fact that I go to geek conventions before and about how much I love costuming and cosplaying. And, of course, I’m not exactly shy about showing it off. 

Cosplaying is so much work—I can spend months on a single costume—but it’s so much fun. And while, yes, a lot of the fun comes from the finished product, wearing it around and showing it off, a lot of the fun also comes from the process of making it. 

I'm convinced that there’s a certain kind of madness for cosplayers. Where you have the image and idea of what you want to do—crazy, almost impossible possibilities—that you always have to keep in mind while you muck around with the reality of materials, trying to find a way to transmute craft foam or old jeans or plumbing parts into wings or extra limbs or ball gowns.

And, I guess, I just want a place to put that madness. And this is it; hope you enjoy:
