COSPLAY

Cosplay, short for "costume play," is a popular hobby and form of self-expression in which individuals, known as cosplayers, dress up and embody fictional characters from various sources, such as anime, manga, video games, movies, TV shows, comic books, and more. Cosplayers create and wear elaborate costumes and often incorporate makeup, wigs, and props to accurately represent the chosen character. Cosplay is a way for fans to express their love for a particular character or fandom, and it allows them to become a part of the stories and worlds they adore. It is an art form that combines craftsmanship, creativity, and performance, making it a vibrant and dynamic subculture within the larger world of geek and fandom communities.
