Cosplay is making yourself look like a character in a game. Mostly, people just dress up and where wigs, but I think there a few diehards out there that have actually resorted to plastic surgery.

My daughter and her boyfriend are currently playing Overwatch which is part of Bizzard's catalog of games. Apparently, her boyfriend has attended every Blizzcon, which is held yearly in the conference center in LA. This year there was a scare because, even though we had probably 10 people trying to snag tickets, they didn't get any on the first go-round. Luckily, they were able to snag tickets during the expansion go-round.

Anyway, my daughter picks a character from the game and then creates a costum. (boyfriend does not dress up, but his brother does) Up until now, they had to be no-sew costums. I got her a beginner's sewing machine and a dremel for Christmas. Since her sewing skills are non-existant at the moment, she is still relying on me to provide the sewing expertise. I like challenges, so it should be fun.
