/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm a tall, thin, pale manly looking ginger woman with short hair and I usually dress in ouji/EGA when out. I got a funny reaction from a kid the other day.

>Be in department store looking for socks
>dressed in black and ivory EGA coord with top hat, slightly more OTT than I usually do.
>Small boy child turns corner and sees me
>"sis! Theres a ghost over here!"

That was the best I got in a while, he seems more happy than scared at least.

I'm extremely lucky to come from a family of eccentric dorks. While my mum doesn't follow all the anime/manga/lolita shit that I'm into herself she's super supportive of anything I get into. Since she took sewing at school she always helps me when I'm making my dresses & cosplays.

My dad was a massive geek and would always sit and talk about Aliens, dr who,Elder scrolls and LoTR with me when I'd take up the dining room table sewing my shit. Both parents always encouraged me to go out and give 'em hell doing what I feel happy doing and I'm super grateful for it.
