We Dress Up As Pop Culture Characters For Fun

Cosplay is a performance art inspired by japanese pop culture in which participants wear hand made costumes to represent a specific character from anime, manga, video game or other. It has spread around the world rapidly since the 1990’s becoming a popular hobby between pop culture enthusiasts from various age groups. Once you’re in it, there is no way out…

We do it because we are crazy about it! When cosplaying we break boundaries, learn complicated DIY techniques, meet amazing people and get over fears!
