Cosplaying Blog Post #1

          
              Cosplay is a performance art where participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a certain character or idea. It is short for "costume play". Most cosplays center around characters in  manga, anime, comic books, video games, and films. A lot of cosplayers make their own costumes, which is a very impressive skill, at least in my opinion.  I got into cosplay this past fall because of my friends and I'm so glad I did. I  have cosplayed many times.  Some of my cosplays include, Kanaya Maryam, Kankri Vantas, and Terezi Pyrope from Homestuck (a web-comic), Amy Pond from Doctor Who, and Abaddon from the TV show Supernatural.  Cosplaying has given me a variety of experiences and friends, and for that I am overjoyed. It has also allowed me to break out of my comfort zone. I am very excited for the Anime Boston convention in March because I am eager to show off some of my new cosplays.
