Alright /cgl/, hear me out.

We have archives of gorgeous cosplays, craftsmanship contests, Yaya Han books, tutorials, endless Pinterest boards of “perfect” costumes. But where is the Hall of Shame? Where’s the gallery of the most cursed, horrifying, nightmare-fuel, convention-floor atrocities ever put to fabric?

I don’t mean noob-tier “bad” cosplays, either — I mean the absolute wildest things you’ve ever seen:

The guy who cosplayed as a full-on flesh-colored horse with no pants.

That Silent Hill Pyramid Head made entirely out of duct tape and sadness.

The Mecha-Kirby with functional fog machine that got him banned from the fire marshal.

Post your most heinous con floor photos, tell your stories of abominations you’ve witnessed firsthand, and nominate entries for /cgl/’s Official Hall of Shame.
Bonus points if it’s somehow also impressive.
Even more bonus points if it was you.

Pics or it didn’t happen. Let’s go.

Guys, how old is too old?

Like, I am an oldfag in his mid 40s. Used to be very involved in the con scene back in the 90s and early 00s. I am currently on a very nostalgic mood about those days of yore, and planning to visit a few of the big cons to see how's the fandom nowadays. Would I be, as you youngsters say, cringe? Worse, would other congoers immediately assume I am a creepy pedophile? I don't really want to ruin some kids con experience like that.

Two things, I would be attending alone because the few con buddies from back then that I still keep in contact, are too jaded and busy to give a shit. Also, I am considering if it is a good idea to go cosplaying as an old timer character.

New kaigai idol thread because the old one was archived.

Do you think Nonsweet will still be successful as a group of 3? Who’s your favorite idol/group right now?
