/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

My job is interesting to say the least. I do have happy endings like on Friday I was able to have a kid go back to her grandparents who essentially raised her and they were so happy when it was all said and done that they hugged and kissed me after court because I had to go beyond what my job description was to get everything in place. It was nice.

But most cases aren't happy endings, just remember, drugs are bad. Very bad.

Nope, Pittsburgh, but I'm moving back to Queens in July where I hope to do less snatching and more reunifying.

I'm a baby snatcher. I snatch kids from parents who aren't doing that great of a job caring for them and then I take them to court to tell the Judge why we snatched this kid and what the parents have to do to get their kids back.

It's... something, alright. A whole lot of something.

Totally agree on the shorter skirt. I underestimated how short my legs actually are, so that'll be remedied soon whenever I stop being lazy.

And no, didn't stuff.

The second to last costume I've made to keep this somewhat relevant to the thread.

I get unreasonably angry at people who take the elevator up one floor just to be funny.

I also get annoyed at people who just stand there, doing nothing but trying to be "creepy" when all you are being is fucking annoying.

Not too many conventions out there offer cash prizes so that should be interesting how to get around that.

Stupid ass Ryofu costume I managed to shit out in record time. I like it, but I'd need to fix it up like a shorter skirt, an extra buttonhole with more buttons, a better styled wig and probably a bigger bra cause you can't go too big with Ikkitousen.

It looks like wet-look spandex.

Wig. Natural looking wig. Couple it with a cute hats or headbands and other accessories and people will be none the wiser.

I am panting. Nothing makes my lady parts all flustered like a good looking Sokka. *3*

This one is my favorite just for the sheer fact that is damn near impossible to get black dye on a wig. All of the wigs look amazing though, this is such an awesome contest that shows the talents of some amazing wig stylists!

Omg, this is giving me life.

That's his real hair.

I'm married to a cosplayer and while our wedding was very traditional in the sense that there was no cosplay involved even though most of our bridal/groom party were cosplayers, I wouldn't mind doing it over again with cosplay incorporated as long as it's just among friends and not family. Though I think our families wouldn't even mind.

The only thing that might've been cosplay in our wedding was my husband unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a Spidey shirt underneath. That was kinda wonderful, haha.

This game is the devil...

There are a couple on my FL that even though they are dumb as bricks, kinda spazzy, and weebish, they are good people in the end. But holy crap, best drama comes from them.

But yea, there comes a point where you need to say "fuck it" and ignore/delete if it gets to the point of getting mad for their behavior. It's just not worth it.

Also, to add, if you have a lot of autist/aspie friends, they make for the BEST drama. As fucked up as it is, we all have that one friend we keep around because of how much shenanigans they get into on FB and it's always a good time watching the trainwreck. I personally think all of that is far juicier than the stuff on /cgl/ mainly because people are straight up just putting their name out there for it.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Believe me, I see people all the time posting drama shit. And when they do, I get my popcorn.gif out because people seem to get EXTRA snarky when their names are attached. It's really funny.

There doesn't seem to be much on the drama end of things on my FB feed other than AP begging for money.

I'm normally crying about how much my job drains every little ounce of my soul.

I'm 26 and I haven't lived with my parents since I was 23.

It's never too old to live with your parents if you can't support yourself. Times are rough out there in this job economy. Plus moving out on your own can be tough. But if people who don't have jobs are able to maintain housing, you can too. Of course that's with the help from the government :T

Nope, it was just craftsmanship, no performance. Only thing we did was gallop on stage with horses that are on a pole.

I started cosplaying in 2001. I was on the tail end of the yahoo mailing list.

>>6650813
Forgot to mention that before CoM there was the Yahoo mailing list. It was a hell of a lot more open before /cgl/. /cgl/ just allows for people to troll/start shit anonymously. Drama back in the day was a hell of a lot juicier for the fact that it wasn't anonymous. It was all just sitting back with some popcorn and enjoying the show.
