I don't know anyone who would go outside dressed up like that, but we used to make parties with costumes with my friends for our birthdays and New Year celebrations and so on... I loved that!

We had see themed party, hippy themed, 20's themed, post-apocalypse themed parties. Though not sure if it can be called cosplay if we were just in someone's apartment and didn't go out in our costumes.

I just remembered, thanks Cassie

, I got dressed up steampunk/goth for this event, when we went to see Abney Park. It was a great night out.

If I can find a picture I may post it.

Nope, I don't do that. The only time I ever dressed up in character is on Halloween =p I don't do that anymore either.

I'm not sure I even know any cosplayers, but I know of plenty. I'm sure it is fun if you are into that type of thing!

I've never done it. I always wanted to dress up like a goth or a vampire. I have dentures. I thought it would be cool to have a top set with fangs. LOL

I went through a semi-gothic phase as a teenager. I still have some of the clothing items from back then... like shirts with fishnet sleeves and Tripp pants lol I secretly still like that style, but I feel it draws too much attention, and I hate people looking at me. I prefer to blend in!

I prefer to blend in too but, I think it would be interesting to see if I got checked out. LOL!
When I get my eye makeup popping it makes the men a little loopy. That won't last much longer.

I liked the original goth look. The look that people made for themselves, but then goth shops opened. You can't have shiny, nice goth clothes. It just doesn't work!

That about describes my technique, though my eye liner is maybe heavier..

Annie, I don't particularly think my eyes are large but I still do my eyer makeup pretty much like you. Light eye shadow, thin eyeliner and just a touch of mascara. At least for my everyday look. I am a little more dramatic for nights out.

Evening ,

The cosplay now I am not sure about that and never followed it so I,m wondering is it a fantasy or some thing like that for us we are reinacting those time,s and does have history behind what we do.

Of cause the other is a little different and for us is an on going part of our life Scottisch and we do have a good following and ,,,DID... have meetings during the year plus the dancing and of cause with my dance partner. or other,s i know so that changes what I can do ,and the other style of dance something I never did and we do have new young ones coming along as well,

Oh of cause I,m dressed for that at our Ball,s in Scottisch tartan in this case not in our,s maybe one day I,ll be able to buy some and do the sewing .

…noeleena...
