is, as its name implies, it about cosplay and "gothic lolita" but that
extends to all lolita as well. (lolita is a fashion involving poofy
victorian-esque dresses and tiny hats. there are many different
variations such as gothic lolita, sweet lolita, gurololi, etc.)
"cosplay"
is a combination of the words costume and play, but cosplay usually
implies costumes involving anime and manga, although it has begun to
encompass video game and american comic book and cartoon characters as
well.
cosplay basically involves making a costume of a
character you enjoy or that is popular. most people on here make their
own costumes from scratch, but some buy their costumes pre-made.
cosplay is a creative hobby involving many skills such as sewing,
armor-making, prop-making, and wig-styling, or, in some cases, a lot of
daddy's money.
this board is for these cosplayers to get
together and discuss their costume-making skills and plans, to share
things like sewing patterns and templates and good websites to buy
things from (like wigs), to plan meet-ups at anime conventions (where
cosplay is mostly found), and just generally to meet and talk to people
in this particular hobby. |
