speaking of cosplaying...

in events such as animexpo, or katsucon, or comiccon, you see a lot of people do this thing called "cosplaying." for those who are not familiar with the term, it's basically dressing up like your favorite manga characters. some people did awesome job, like red2z (shanks) and fin fish (nami) from arlongpark forum:



the dude (mr.7) and puppehkatt (captain kuro), also from arlongpark forum



this random girl in japan (robin) and red2z once again (captain panda)



now, you see, this is one of the things that make such conventions worth attending: people who actually put effort into cosplaying, and come out looking really good. but there are some who put TOO MUCH effort, and ended up being one of the reasons to avoid such conventions.

people such as this guy cosplaying gai (i had rock lee earlier, i apologize). so here's to all you narutards.



and this guy who's into faye too much. way too much (here's to all you bebop fans).



**shivers**

the last two pictures still give me the shivers. it BURNS my eyes. man-fayes should be prohibited from any conventions. since i had to suffer through it you guys have to suffer through it too. that's what friends are for, we share the pain together.
