Cosplay and Lolita in public tales

[Anonymous No.6995581]

That "people looking at lolitas" thread from a couple days ago reminded me it's been a bit since one of these. Weird or funny encounters with the general public?

I saw a shitty L and a bunch of Homestucks at the mall. I leave town for two years and a shitty cosplay comm pops up

Never curtsey to those who are mocking you. Take their photo and post it to the SJW on Tumblr instead.

When we see bible thumpers door knocking down the street, my boyfriend puts on his start trek uniform to answer the door. He & his room mate bought snuggies just for this purpose, they like to pretend they are in a cult and the snuggie is their uniform and the doorbell has interrupted a meeting.

>Con used to be across street from mall.
>Mfw going to mall in costume, seeing everyone else in costume while all the teenager, guidos and other mall rats look at us like freaks.

good times.

Pretty much whenever I see cosplay in public, I cringe and pretend to not look. Cosplay in public is dumb most of the time.

Unless you're talking outside a con while one's going. It's slightly less dumb then.

>Be at con with friends on a Friday
>One friend is dressed as Bilbo Baggins
>Decide to take a bus back to his dorm as things begin to settle down that night
>Forget we're at a pretty infamous party college
>At one stop the bus gets filled with 15-20 drunk college kids
>Everyone's singing "Happy Birthday" for some reason, guys are doing pull ups on the bus railings
>About five start freaking out at my friend, "HOLY SHIT ITS THE HOBBIT FROM THE HOBBIT"
>Get off the bus with the two old black ladies muttering "White people, man. White people."
>Pass by a frat house having a party while walking back
>Friend has drunk people asking "WOAH ARE YOU BILBO" or "WOAH ARE YOU FRODO" or (my favorite) "WOAH ARE YOU THE LORD OF THE RINGS?"
>Friend says "yes" to everyone

From the thumbnail, I thought that the black haired guy next to the grandpa was George Zimmerman.

I really want to do a photoshoot in the woods on this one particular mountain, but in my area there are so many damn hikers around that it'd be almost impossible.

I'm also really self conscious about people giving me strange looks for dressing in a costume and having people snap pictures of me. Oh boy.

worked at a clothing store in a japantown district. kids would come in after school wearing cosplay anime wigs, sometimes in half cosplay outfits, and kigurumi being obnoxious as fuck.
