So, my brother says that I am weird because i like to play dress-up. Am I? I just like to pretend that i am from somewhere else...
Here's my dress-up itenerary:
1 dobok/gi
1 hakama
1 punjabi saree thing
2 strips of plaid cloth
8 pairs of shoes
1 sword
1 shinai
Dallas, my brother's cat
etc.....

Aw, I dress up as Faye from Bebop all of the time, so it's all good.

Ya know what? My older brother says the same thing!

Him-Uh, why are you running around dressed like a ninja?
Me-*exasperated sigh* Yesterday I was a ninja. Today I'm a samurai. Gee, Ben, get it right.
Him-...dork.

*lol* More power to the costumers! XD

You just gave me much enjoyment, kirakira! That so reminds me of my brother, ben. Oh I forgot to metion I have a ninja costume as well. Got it last year for Halloween. The pants were like 10 sizes to small, and the top was 3 too big, but it's all cool. I have a wrestling mask from mexico, and it all looks very nice! Kinda like schwartz from G Gundam.

We're unique...

Quick, someone lend me a costume!!!

I dressed up once as Spike from Cowboy Bebop for a day while I was at college in my freshman year...

As long as you're not doing it every day, to the exclusion of responsibilities....

Dress-up is fun! I'd post a pic of me at the Renaissance Faire, but I can't find it at the moment.

<_< . . . I dress up sometimes. . . and yes, my family thinks I'm weird for it XD

the things I dressed up as that I can remember:

cat,
cow girl *authentic, not some cheezy costume*,
The Queen of Crayola,
Rapster,
. . . a person

Yeah, Alberto is Man-Faye Jr.

Anyway, oro!girl, dress-up may sound silly, but you could call it cosplay...

Me and my niece/room-mate, liked to stay up late a play dress up.
We would then take pics and compare looks.
It was fun and a good pass time.

I wear a keiko gi and hakama, but since it's for Kendo, it's not necessarily for fun....

I use mine for Iaido, even though it isn't necessary at all for my school.

Yay for hakama! ^o^/ I love running around the house in my hakama...x3 it's great.

I bet they don't distinguish rank by color, just like Kendo. The only way you can tell the difference between a hachidan and a zero-kyu is by fighting them. (Age also helps, as senior kendoists are more likely to have old man-stink. Unless one starts at a very advanced age).

I don't even have bogu, so that would make me a zero-kyu.

Most people think I am weird for what I do. I put on a helmet, a yellow coat, a pair of yellow pants with boots and a air tank on my back and a mask on my face and walk into burning buildings when people are runninng out acourse I show them the pictures from the cons of cosplayers and some say look at the weirdos. What do I care I dressup has a Japanese Rescue Firefighter and Emergency Medical Tech for the cons. We all just want to have FUN! You got to be crazy sometime

lol, same here. I just got my Hakama & Gi last month. I like to wear it around the house when i'm practising, and if i ever go to a fanc dress part i'm goin as a samurai.

YEeahhh, my friend's step dad at college is a 12th drgree black belt and owns his own dojo... maybe a coulpe... and I was told if you don't take a martial art you shouldn't wear a hakama because it can be offensive to those who do.... becuase they work hard for theirs or something.. yeah... I wanna take Kendo sometime....

I cosplay a lot. I made a Yukina costume for this year's Metrocon (if only I can find a wig) and i also have a Miho Tohya (from Megatokyo) costume. ^^

I am planning on starting kendo as soon as I get enough cash........but it'll take forever. That's why I have my hakama. I just need the armor and a bokken, plus a bag, and eventually, ehn i get up, a katana. Too much for me at the moment.

Actually, my school's main arts are Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do. Weapons, like the katana are taught in extra programs, with each weapon consisting of 4 only 4 levels. I just got the uniform for use in tournaments and demonstrations.

I have a full body cat suit and sometimes i'll just get in is and sit and watch TV. When my mom comes home from work and sees me in it she doesnt say a word and walks to another room!! I love it! XDDD

When I'm not Faye, sometimes I sit in my chair and pretend I'm L. It can be tough.
