She's a woman. I know a lot of goons haven't seen one before but it's just blue paint.

This "woman" stuff doesn't even have a listing in the SAclopedia

I was wondering if anyone had done a genderbent Comedian + Silk Spectre couple so I went GISing and this popped up ...



:suicide:

I also heard about but didn't find photos of a mother & son who went to a convention dressed as Silk Spectre and the Comedian, which is hosed up in a different way.

And to answer my initial question, there's a SHITLOAD of genderbent Comedians out there (Comediennes?) and most of the other Watchmen characters as well:



Oh Rorscach-san, you're so kawaii!! :syoon:
But out of all the genderswapped Watchmen groups I saw I couldn't find even a single dude who'd been prepared to dress up as a male Silk Spectre. I'm disappointed but I can't say I'm at all surprised.



Oh hey, I also found a Rorschach with meat cleaver doggie:

The trick to putting together a really effective Kaylee costume is A) cuteness and B) accessories. This kid is doing it right:

Cosplaying as Jimmy Saville is probably not a good idea.

Australian Football players have a tradition of dressing up on 'Mad Monday' to celebrate the end of the season or something and this year two of them decided to dress as Rolf Harris and victim:

Last year a player set fire to a dwarf, in 2010 a player was photographed in a 'compromising position' with a teammate's dog and in 2008 a player dressed up as Hitler.

The first ever known cosplay at a con:



quote:

1939: Forrest J. Ackerman, perhaps the greatest fan of science fiction who ever lived, attended the first ever World Science Fiction Convention, or Worldcon, in “futuristicostume.” Ackerman “strode the streets looking like a proto-superhero” speaking Esperanto with his friend and the designer of his costume, Myrtle Douglas. He was the first sci-fi fan to attend a conference in costume.

People have been cosplaying at scifi cons for seventy five years.

Haha, I admire his level of commitment. low

I actually can't tell whether he just chucked together a lovely costume in an afternoon or he spent weeks researching, discussing and working on a costume that recreates the shittiness of the character's costume to an amazingly accurate degree.




That kid is so unimpressed. "Why are you making me pause for a photo next to the scruffy nerd? Oh he's who?? Ha yeah right, we just saw twelve people in the hall who looked more like Harry Potter than this guy. He doesn't even have a lightning scar FFS."

I have no idea how I'd locate someone else in my city that would be interested in the same hobby that I have, let alone something this specific.

Just dress up in your favourite costume and hang out on street corners, you're sure to randomly discover some costuming buddies that way. Or set off a massive police search, I dunno.

It must be awesome to be both a pop culture nerd who's into cosplay and someone who looks almost identical to a particular actor from a "geeky" show or movie.

Well unless you hate that show and you really want to cosplay as a different character but no matter how good you make your costume everyone always says "Hey you look like ____ you should totally come as ____ next year!"
That'd be pretty annoying.

I can sort of see it with the right foot, and of course the underwear showing, but the rest of the picture just doesn't click for me as anything other than a drawing. That's really, really amazing and baffling.

Here's some behind the scenes photos with natural shadows where it's a lot easier to see the work they put into the effect.
