I will never use those quaint little shortening of words to describe something. It's dressing up. I will never and have never 'cosplayed'

well, as cosplay is related to anime costumes i had never done cosplay and will probably never do it as well, but i did put on costumes not related to anime/manga. Like in elementary school plays, and stuff (even crossdressed for a crossdressing contest on a school festival öÔ, sorry but no pictures were taken )

I win again! My suggestions rule! lol
As for actual cosplaying, I think I already live in a world of delusion, if i cosplayed the lines between reality and my imagination will be blurred even more.

I've never cosplayed as a manga, anime, or game character but I wouldn't mind doing it once if I went to a convention.

I've never cosplayed but i think i may use a produced costume on a costume party, so where's my option?

No. I refuse to make myself look ridiculous. If I ever cosplay, I shall flush my pride down the toilet.

Hmm, so I've never dressed up myself, but I've designed and made costumes for others. Does that count?
Game/manga/anime character costumes, that is.

I'm actually amazed that a lot of people here have never cosplayed. I guess, I was under the impression that cosplay came as a package with enjoying manga and/or anime. My bad, haha.. I've cosplayed several times so far and it can be quite enjoyable. Especially when you get to show other people your hardwork and they appreciate it as much as you do. Well, this is just one otaku's opinion.
But I should say, it is kinda disgusting when a full grown male with h**ry legs cosplays as Sailormoon or wears a sailor school uniform
I get more and more traumatized whenever I see one at a convention
