I saw a cosplayer walking around the Gamescom vendor hall last week wearing no shoes at all.

Barefoot.

The soles of her fleet were jet loving black, and it was incredibly disgusting.

So...she was cosplaying as Commodore Perry?

For what is essentially an ad it's still got some cool links. Also I wasn't even aware cosplayers were using some of those materials.

I'll never understand why people dress as the most obscure or ironic character they can find instead of a character they actually like. The dozen people who recognize Robbie at Comic-Con can't be worth the hundreds of hours it took to make that costume.
I recognize maybe 5% of the costumes in this thread, and I recognized this one. A person of a certain age, I guess.

Yea. I thought it was pretty badass because you'd never see Lowe's or Home Depot going "Hey cosplayers and costumers! Come shop here for your cool stuff you need!"

Kinda nice they recognize the hobby and decided to make a blog post about it.

It is really neat, but how did the author manage to nail a word like "accoutrements" and then go on to say "a site to behold?"

Eh, I'm just being nit-picky. The author did his or her homework, that's for sure. The blog could've easily just said "come shop with us for all your project needs," but someone put some care and thought into it.

Nah, couldn't really tell if the guy was going along with it or just trying to be restrained about it. I'm probably just jaded from having seen people do poo poo like this without having anyone else in on the joke, including stuff that gets them thrown out or arrested. Too many years staffing cons.

(Though the year a sheriff got arrested was kind of interesting, at least - and I don't mean someone dressed as a sheriff.)

If everyone's in on it, then I'm laughin'.

I also find it smart to throw objects at probably the most physically impressive person at a con.


Of course it's staged.

I've seen dumber poo poo happen in front of my eyes at the cons I've worked. But that would be an even worse derail than this one, I guess.
