Hello @Road2horizon! It's a pleasure to meet you :D I'm so happy that you like my post! ๐
Let me explain: The term "Cosplay" comes from the combination of 2 words, "Costume" and "Play", and it's an activity which consists on representing a fictional character (they can be from movies, books, videogames, anime series, mangas), dressing and acting like them. It's a kind of art and it does have its own sub-culture, its own events and international contests (for example the worldwide Cosplay Contest is celebrated each year in Nagoya, Japan, and it's the "World Cosplay Summit"). People who do Cosplay are called "Cosplayers", and there are many who dedicate to this art in a Professional Level; it's a very extensive and super interesting world full of supplies, fantasy and performances.
And thank you so much for your congratulations! I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS NEW CURIE VOTE, AAAAAAAAAAH! -runs in circles-
thanks @tesmoforia for your diligent answer and for the clear explanation. I can hear from how you write that you are a happy follower of this movement! I never heard it before, maybe we are a little old for these things? or maybe because we are not comic book fans?
I hope all the best for you :-))
