/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>best experience?
In London, a group of tourists from Dubai stopped and asked if they could have pictures with me. They were all dressed in beautiful, clearly expensive designer stuff with perfect make up, so I felt pretty good about how I must have looked for them to ask for a picture.

>worst experience?
I wore a black half bonnet with an otherwise simple gothic coord to a uni lecture. On my way down the stairs to get to the lecture theatre, I passed a guy coming up the stairs who grabbed my shoulder to stop me, looked me up and down, and said "Why would you do this to yourself?" before walking off. I was more confused than upset.

>most awkward experience?
On the metro in Paris on my way to the btssb store, a girl and her friends approached me, pointed at my skirt and started talking excitedly in French. I had no idea what they were saying and my vague memory of conversational french disappeared in the panic. Eventually, a guy in their group realised I had no idea what was going on and told me, in english, that they just wanted to know why I was dressed so nicely and that they liked my outfit. I always feel like a dick not being able to speak the language in another country, especially when people are being friendly, I felt so rude.
