We All Cosplay

What cosplay have you done?  You can’t say none, or your life might be utterly meaningless.

For many of you it is when you attend a wedding or black tie event.  Tuxedos are for sure cosplay.

Many of you might do ceremonial dress up for your cultural heritage or religion.  That’s cosplay.  I had to wear a very different costume  while going into a Mormon temple.  Just Google it if you are curious.

My daughter loves going to anime conventions as her favorite characters.  I cosplay almost every other day with wigs and outfits I’ve collected, even today on my business trip.

I feel cosplay is any dressing up that happens off stage or off camera.  But now with so many cameras around and life being a stage, it feels like we are all playing a character, even if it’s you playing you.

If you have been hesitant to dress up out of character or as a new character, then maybe give it a try soon. The entire world becomes more colorful and rich for you and those around you.

Don’t wait for Halloween to have fun, try tomorrow.

Happy 4:20
