Cosplay

Cosplay is defined by Google "as the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game". It has gotten very popular as the years go by especially at cons or expos. One of the great things about cosplay is that no matter how old you are or what gender you are, you can cosplay as any character from their favorite movie, TV show, etc. Most cosplayers make their costumes from scratch which is amazing especially after they are done putting them together because the end result is just incredible.
Here are some photos of different cosplayers from Comikaze this past weekend from LA Weekly:

Hulkbuster Iron Man

In cosplay, there is no limit to your imagination. You can become who ever you want. For example, in the photo below, the women are dressed up as male superheros and the men are dressed as female superheroes.  

or this cosplayer dressed up as the female version of Thor's brother, Loki 

Like I said earlier, there is no limit to who you want to dress up as. You can even mix two characters together like the person in the photo did below with Spider-Man and Captain America.

It's amazing what people can come up with and create with just their imaginations. No matter how simple they may be or vice versa, all cosplay is pretty amazing. I encourage you to check out more pictures of cosplayers because it will amaze you.
