Cosplay...I dunno....
One time I had a stalker--the second I realized that this person was a little "off",..

I got this harsh sinking feeling in my chest.
A couple months ago, I was at a bookstore buying manga, and the nice clerk helping me went from "yeah, this story is great", to "me and my friend dressed up as..." and started to tell me about their adventures in cosplay. Got the same feeling.
The costumes are cool, but I just think it's REALLY scary for some reason.
They do make the ladies look hotter, though.
EDIT: I take that back. maybe just the girl in the third pic. Not even "anime magic" can help some of them, I guess.
