Are You a Cosplayer?
No but what is cosplay that I keep hearing
about? Cosplay is where people of all ages dress up as their favourite
characters from video games, movies, comic books and much more. Some people
purchase their costumes and others display their passion by making replica
costumes by hand. On of the best examples of this is Syfy’s Heroes of Cosplay. All
of the people on the show have been cosplaying for a number of years and
compete all over Canada and the US at conventions in the costume contests.
There is a HUGE culture within the cosplay
world that is based on fun, acceptance and passion. Cosplayers take the time to
share their skills, ideas and passion with people of all ages and the most
popular place to find them is at a convention. The most famous of all
conventions is San Diego Comic Con. This annual event draws thousands of people
each year from around the world. 
Heading to California not in the budget
this year? No problem. Toronto holds one the Canada’s top conventions in August
each year FANEXPO. With guest speakers, artists and actors from across the
Sci-Fi, comics, anime, horror and gaming. This is a great opportunity to try
out cosplay for the first time. Don’t worry you will not be alone. This year’s
FANEXPO will take place August 28th to 31st. You can check out all the details at www.fanexpocanada.com.
