Cosplay

This was something I always wanted to touch on when we were discussing theater but never got the chance.

Despite what some people may say, cosplay is a legitimate form of performance art. It involved people dressing up as their favorite video game, anime or cartoon characters and then acting like they would for the entertainment of others. To me this sounds just like theater but on a much smaller scale. However, saying that people truelly don't get involved is wrong. People will spend hundreds of dollars on a costume, take countless hours to put it together and lose nights of sleep learning a routine.

But...

When you enter the convention center, your heart thumping and suddenly everyone's eyes turn to you, you get an overwhelming feeling. Their faces light up with smiles, cameras flash and people ask you to take a picture with them.

The feeling of completely making someone else's day is priceless.
