Have you ever tried cross-dressing?

Post Reply New Topic

(sorry for the mess I made in my last post. Here's the correction:)

Hah, same with me really. I'd rather people just be blunt with the questions rather than hiding it. It's annoying.
Yeah I agree. Honesty is ore comfortable than subtlety.



How can you tell if it's a anime con or not? Just want to watch out so that I can come prepared.



Yay! Thanks for the encouragement! Time to put in my drag for whatever con is out for 2016!



No I will LOVE IT!! ! It will be the time of my life when I get to a con in a dress (but it's not gonna be the 'end of the world' for me if I don't get on a drag just hope I won't do that too often



Again, like I said (or maybe I didn't? I may have forgotten to write it or maybe it got erased and then I forgot to write it? Bah! Nevermind. ) Maybe the guys who hit on you are open-minded and they want to experiment with different types of girls, including trans.



What do you mean by that?




No, I haven't done a female cosplay yet. So far I've managed to cosplay as Link (from Zelda) and Pit (from Kid Icarus: Uprising/Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

If I were to cosplay a female character (which would be wonderful! ) it would be the cheerful type of characters (like Bridget for example! Hey since you don't seem to like Bridget's personality that much you can send your Brdget costume via mail? (i'll give you my address) I'd really appreciate it! )

I was also thinking about coplaying Hastune Miku, here's a picture of her:



Of course I'd feel great in any female cosplay, it doesn't have to just be limited to cheeful characters only.[/quote]

Just out of curiosity... do pictures exist?

How did you get/make the costume!?

I used a blue shirt that I still have, blue pants that I can't remember where I got them from, a toy pistol, blue gloves that I have since lost, boots, and a blonde wig. Also, no pictures.
Merry Christmas, by the way!

Dayum Kura! I'm very pleased by that notion.

Merry Christmas!

^You're...pleased at the thought of me in a blonde wig? Well, then...

I would be very pleased as well! Also, I have a blonde wig at my house as well, what a coincidence!

^ I use my wig for my Fai Fluorite costume these days. Maybe one day I'll be able to let you borrow my costume so you can try it on! [I hope you liked my special Christmas message to you! ]

Well, the best way to put it, is that MOST cons are anime types. Well, technically anime & gaming usually, they're almost always both at the same time. Makes sense, the two often go together! I'm usually more on the gaming side of things myself. I've always liked anime well enough but I dont actually watch that much of it these days, typically I'd rather just read the manga. But the gaming is always there. My costumes are always game characters, really.

I only have so many though. And there's some that I wouldnt mind doing (like Blanc) but just havent done due to not feeling that I could pull off the look (I could look AMAZINGLY ANGRY all the time, sure, but she's also really small, among other things...). ....also some costumes (Blanc again) are very complicated. The more complicated, the higher the cost! ...granted, these days it doesnt all that much matter what I spend, but still. When looking for a new costume, that's something to always keep in mind.

Also, this is where I go to find out about cons: anime-cons.com

As far as I know, most known ones are listed there. But, I cant say for sure when it comes to other countries (I'm in the US). There may be better sites for places that arent the US. It looks like you're not in the US, so it may be worth using the amazing power of Google to see what you can learn about possible cons that are reachable from your location!



Yep, you can do/wear pretty much whatever you want at these. You could make an outfit out of cardboard Mountain Dew boxes if you wanted (seen that, more than once, was hilarious). Doesnt really matter, you just do whatever.



If you "dont get on a drag"? I dont understand the phrasing here. Happens with me alot.



I can sorta get that, but... I'm not trans though; considering that I"m bloody lazy about, well, everything, I dont actually use all that much makeup and such. I have like, ONE stick of the stuff and it's just to cover up what my godforsaken electric razor misses. Or at least, in theory. Frankly, I dont understand how the whole damn "passing" thing works half the time or if I'm even going in the right direction with it. I went out to the local Wal-mart about, oh, a week ago I think, and I THOUGHT I hadnt shaved all that well that day; I'd been lazy about it and just did it quickly. I figured, feh, nobody's going to really see me today, I'm just going to the store very briefly. Got there, was immediately mistaken for a girl (???) so... yeah. I dont even...

Still though, I'm aware I'm kinda feminine in appearance at times but... I dunno that it's far enough for THAT to really happen. What trans people I've seen typically look alot further down that road, much closer to "passing".

I dunno. It's confusing. You know how it is, with the autism... it just makes it so that stuff like this makes even less sense. Sometimes I just smile and nod as if I have a clue as to what's going on. I often dont!



"Run out of Steam" sorta means to run down, run out of energy, sorta lose enthusiasm, come to a halt... things along that line. What I meant was, yeah, normally I'd rebuke the idea of liking nun characters specifically, but then Index there came to mind, and with her being ANOTHER one I like, well.... yeah. I couldnt really manage to rebuke anything at all after that hit me, ugh.




No no, I could never part with that... it has too much meaning to me. Hard to explain. One way or another he's my favorite one to cosplay, really. I just want to get some others too.

That, and with costumes, there's always the issue of size to consider. My outfits are always specifically tailored to me, which is something you want to try to do with any costume. Note that I *dont* make these myself, haha. That'd be a horrible disaster. I get them elsewhere. There's all sorts of places you can go to have costumes made for you. Just be sure you have measurements, and reference materials (pics of the character).

That's not a bad idea, aside from the Wig of Doom there.

Vocaloid characters are actually well-known, so you'd actually get some notice. More obscure characters tend to be ignored more.

Yes, I have tried cross dressing. Although I was out to seek revenge from an '80s singer who posed for Playboy, I was only hurting myself. I was only in heels and a dress for 9 days, then got out of the routine.
I was in France in 1916 at the Somme under heavy bombardment from my dad yelling at me telling to take it off, so I was compelled to fix my bayonet to my rifle, go over the top into no-man's land, and stop the routine.

Why did you wanted to have revenge on that singer?



So you basically went out of your way to make sure you stop your crossdressing routine?

A "wig of doom" you say? That sounds really funny! Are they really that heavy? Or are they somewhat difficult to handle?

Totally not cross dressing, but for NYE I wore a "glitter beard" & again for NYD night's party - and also covered my upper body in glitter lol. So much fun at the parties I went to. NYD night I made a point of saying to one of my friends from the beach that even just doing the glitter beard thing I totally understand more and more the fun that him and his friends have dressing up in drag and doing drag shows. (he's a bearded drag queen known as Katy Hairy.) Heh, just thought I'd share.

If I had a dollar for every amazingly wonderful pun drag kings and queens come up with...

The only female clothing item which would be comfortable to me (and then, only when it's warm), is a skirt. Even with a skirt, I would feel funny. I would have to take care not to show my "jewels" within such venues as the Subway.

I don't envy women one bit! I'm glad they were smart enough to start wearing sneakers during the 1980 Transit Strike in NYC.
