/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Starting off, can NO one get a Miku wig right? Or her ballgown?

Last year during Dragoncon I tipped the maid $50.

After that she set it up to where I didn't have to pay for the overpriced liquor and snacks in the room. She cam through and restocked me every day without it showing up on my bill.

So as long as your are cosplaying as a character and it's recognizable, you consider it cosplay? I see you didn't comment on OCs, so would you consider the people who do SCA/Renfaire (wear garb and get into character) cosplayers? Personally I think LARPers are their own beast.

I agree that Lolita and JFash is not cosplay but some people think cosplay means anything that is not "normal clothes" which would include OCs.

Casual/Closet cosplay to me is just saying "I wanted to cosplay but I was too lazy to make/buy an outfit."

I was wondering what is the bare minimum requirement to be doing cosplay?
What is the bare minimum to have a GOOD cosplay?
No one is goiing to argue that accurate representation of a character isn't cosplay, but which of the following do you consider to be cosplay?
>Humanization/Gijinka
>AUs(Punk/Goth/Steam/Zombie/etc version)
>OCs
>Crossplay/Genderbent
>Mashups
>Casual Cosplays
>Closet Cosplays
>Bikini Version
>Period Garb
>Lolita
>JFash
Anything I missed on this list?
Which (if any) of those do you consider be a lower tier of cosplay?
If you consider OCs to be cosplay, How much costuming do you need for an OC outfit to be considered a cosplay? Just a cheongsam or kimono? How about if you add cat ears to your casual clothes?

>Chika and Riko's exposed bras
jesus christ have they not heard of strapless bras??
The Ruby isn't /bad/ but it looks like shes squinting really badly

Haven't seen one in awhile.

>You wanna be the one to send that shit out? It's hard work.
That's why you hire out a contracting service to do that for you. How difficult would it be for the con's CFO to factor the cost of contracting out the badge mailing service into the cons operational budget?

Katsucon needs to take a cue and a clue from Otakon and start mailing out badges because that prereg line was a mess Thursday. Pretty sure people will happily pay a bit extra to have a badge mailed to them instead of sitting in a line for 2+ hours to get a badge.

Y'all nasty ass mothafuckas.

Also check out Cadillac Ranch. Their ribs and steaks are damn good.

Your best bet is to get a room across the river in Alexandria and catch the NH2 bus or uber in because everything in the harbor is sold out or charging crazy high rates.

MGM is damn nice but it is by no means close to the Gaylord or cheap. That and MGM has a dress code so cosplay is a no go there.

That's nothing, people pay $2-5k getting rooms at Dragoncon.

I stopped group rooming with folks in hotels after somebody jacked my stuff when I was at Otakon back in '03. That and walking in on one of my roommates getting his back blown out by another dude.

I've been rooming it alone ever since.
