					<description>Well, it's partly do to the fact that in Japan, people actually get payed to cosplay, so they have to look good. Plus, you can't find any cosplay shops in America (atleast as far as I know). But that doesn't mean Americans shoudn't cosplay! I'm not Japanese, (I'm Polish, mind you) but I still cosplay. Peace!</description>

					<description>You know, saying there are good cosplayers and bad ones is kinda like saying there are good solitare players and bad ones, really in the end it doesn't effect anyone (except the fat guy in the tiny sailor moon outfit but that represents the guy whos so bad he get frustrated and flips the table while your trying to enjoy your starter ceaser salad and it just ruins the whole thing, not the whole meal I mean just the salad, it just doesn't feel the same) in the end your happy with your game of solitare or not, the only other people who care are the nitpickers &quot;oh you didn't see that move&quot; and the perfectionists &quot;geeze you didn't win you must suck at that&quot;. I suppose is a long tangented kinda way I'm just saying LEAVE IT ALONE ALREADY for god sakes there dressing up like cartoon carichters WHAT DO YOU FREAKING WANT!</description>

					<description>People... a lot of the Japanese cosplayers that are pictured in conventions are PAID to be there... they are AV models.  The same ones that show up as car show girls or soccer girls...  They are professional &quot;cosplayers&quot; meaning they don't make their own costuems, do their own makeup, etc...  

AV models dress up for anything... it's part of what they do!

WARNING: May cause some burning of the eyes... no nudes but panty alert!
