/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This may be a very silly and frivolous feel, but I hope someone can relate.
The reason I love lolita is because it makes me feel like a character from a made up land. I know lolita isn't a costume and I would never pretend to be someone else while wearing it (and I've been actively wearing it for about 3 years, but I've been into it since 2010).
But something about donning a somewhat theatrical outfit and putting on a wig/styling my hair, makes me feel like I'm from a different time and place. I know it's silly but gothic makes me feel like a witch or a demon, like I'm powerful and shouldn't be messed with. Classic makes me feel like some sort of noblewoman, or sometimes a doll that's come to life. I don't know why I invent these silly little stories in my head for when I put on lolita, but I guess it's kind of like playing dress up as a kid, but in a far more opulent way. I try telling a story with my looks, but as subtly as I can - I don't want to look costumey when I'm trying to be more low-key. My saved coords folder is full of coords that aren't my style at all, but they tell a story or evoke a mood and I love that.
I really don't mean for this to sound stupid, but I'm aware that it does, oops.
I guess that's why I love Halloween coords so much, everyone's a character and it's great.

It's been done before

I'm not too sure if this completely counts as guro, but it's the most elegant way to do it that I've ever seen.
