Cosplay

I've taken a bit of crap about the Brony thing.

I stumbled across these vids.

THESE are my people.  They are me, I am them.

I don't have a costume or the money to go to cons, but I would!

I've never seen a K'zin at a con...

I've always had an urge to dress up.  I loved theater!  I was very active in the SCA until the ugly group politics finally touched me.  Reinacting would almost seem to be a great fit for me, but it's entire too much like being back in the fucking Army.  Besides, my crippling injury is real enough to knock out of the real Army, enduring that much pain for fake Army seems idiotic even for me.

The issue with cosplay is not fear or desire but choosing an outfit that a fat bald late 40's gimp can pull off.  There's a lot more freedom in making a character of your own design.
