I actually do a lot of Cosplay (when I am not pregnant that is lol) I like to dress as Harley Quinn (I have 3 different versions and a separate Harleen Quinzel outfit as well) Poison ivy, and I have a few woodland elf costumes too. My current problem is finding a photographer willing to work probono!
I go to a lot of Anime conventions sometimes and see crazy half assed cardboard costumes a lot of the time lol. Dome are pretty extravagant though!
