Strange cosplaying ideas?

[kajarainbow]

Next anime con I go to (my dad, my sister, and I usually go to ConnectiCon in the summer), I'm thinking of cosplaying something weird. Ideas are:
1. a character from an anime that doesn't actually exist.
2. the boy-form of one of those guy (or 'guy') characters that crossdress.
3. something wholly nonhuman (we're talking 'critter' here). This would be the hardest and least likely to be pulled off one.

I don't have much confidence in passing as female without being estrogened up for sufficiently long enough (and I haven't yet started). I might or might not pull it off, and I'd rather not risk dealing with the social stigma associated with crossplaying (dressing as a character of the opposite gender, and most people tend to judge that by physical looks more than anything). However, dressing as a 'femmy boy' (of which there are plenty in anime) seems more doable.

Dressed as a boy dressed as a girl. Layers of layers of disguise...

The most important thing is to be yourself... whatever you are. I recommend choice #1; that gives you the most freedom.

Have a great time at ConnectiCon!

Whatever you choose, try to choose what will make you happy. Life's too short not to live it on your own terms sometimes.

Yeah I think you can totally pull off the androgynous boy thing. First time I saw you I thought you were androgynous-looking. Or whatever. Peace out! ^-^
