Actually, in Japan cosplay kind of varies... the only thing it has in general is that it's dressing up like an anime character, or rock star, or even a popular TV personality or movie character. Or a costume in general, really. The schoolgirl outfit pictures I posted of myself fall under the 'cosplay' category.
Most cosplayers make their own outfits (hence a lot of cosplay competitions where prizes are given for the best-made ones). Some people take it further and act "in-character" while they're wearing the outfit... gets pretty goofy sometimes. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I cosplay in that I make costumes for a hobby and wear them for display at anime conventions.
Omegaman: Agreed, but sometimes it can also be very pretty; I've seen some fantastically well made costumes, as well as attractive people in some rather skimpy outfits. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I read about a cosplay on a beach between two guys dressed up as characters from a fighting game. Apparently, one of the characters had a fireball attack so the guy cosplaying him <b>lit his hand on fire</b>. People are so wonderfully crazy.

Cosplay kicks ****. Now, being fat and doing a incredibly thin person ain't smart. But cosplaying does kick ****. I myself plan on making a full-leather/metal version of Shinji's plug suit once I get myself super-thinned up(before the event, I plan on fasting for 2-3 days).

are you going to "fast" because you need to lose weight,
or because you're going to try to fit shinji's costume, and his waist size is 0.0005?
if you're trying to lose weight, exercise and proper diet are the proper routes. (and not anorexia..!!)

One can imagine.

Mayhaps one should not however.
