There's enough common sense in the world that some people don't even need to exhibit that they possess it to acknowledge its wisdom. "Art" is one of those words that has lost its meaning over time, where once it encapsulated works produced by rare creative prodigies, now is just a term used to label any half-witted idea that didn't exist in the world before they unleashed it. Most people have an initial gut reaction that is 99.9% accurate. Some will try to ignore it and force themselves to rationalize art as being a fitting label, but usually crap is a better one. What gets me is that some of these people actually make money off of their crap.Rakshasa wrote:That brings up the large debate of "what is art" that I am so sick of hearing. Remember: one person's trash is another person's treasure. Never state your opinion of "that's not art" as a fact. It is largely based on the beholder and it is best to keep an open mind.
I never said there was something wrong with acting, especially since I'm surrounded by it daily and I even roleplay myself. I never will act for various reasons, one of which still being that I find much about it disturbing. That's why I'm a tech and not an actor.
Interesting point about normal clothing such as jersies. I never thought about that being a form of cosplaying, probably since it's so common. So it's all a form of idealization and hero worship. I never liked such product endorsement either. =P
Bleh... anyway, gooooo techies! I think stage lighting is fun, especially if you're lucky enough to work in a theater with a mesh wire grid. I'm not too fond of ladders.

Notes on guys costumeing as girls.
For the vast majority of theater history, women were not allowed on the stage. Untill the 19th Century ALL girls / women were played by guys. Yes, in the East as well as the West.
Female Impersonation is still considered an artform in Europe, Japan, and China at least. In India, where the sacred creeps into everything, playing a Goddess on the stage is a form of worship as well as theater. During WWII, a Drag troupe in the USO entertained the troops in every theater of the war. While I cannot remember the name of the film in which they are featured, they make an apperance in the film "Before Stonewall." In today's America female impersonation is currently considered a pervision.
I have known several males who could easily get away with wearing Mithra RSE and passing. No hormone treatments involved either. A flat tummy, padding, and body language are the main ingredients needed. Believe it or not, Duct tape helps.

Sango doesn't always wear her battle gear and Boomerang, she also has a kimono sans the boomerang.Josiejo wrote:I thought you were done? Apparently even those who'd rather live out their lives dressing like everyone else in an attempt to fit in while being obnoxious as an attempt to stand out can't even make up their minds.

I think I've actually seen pics of Gospel before these, from other random cosplay sites. I don't have any examples... I was just Googling one night at work, but I did recognize it when I saw it. I went to the anime convention in Anaheim, CA in 2004... it was cool to see some of the costumes there, but one thing did disturb me: some guy dressed up as Yuna from FFX-2 (Gun Mage). Now, I'm not sure what possesses guys to dress up like girls, even for a harmless hobby, but all I'm saying is I couldn't do it. I'm not trying to sound negative about it, just saying you've got more guts than I do.
I'm planning to go back to the Anime convention this year... hopefully as Inuyasha or Miroku. It depends on what my girlfriend wants to dress up as... last year, I didn't dress up at all, and she was Kagome. I'm trying to convince her to go as Sango, but I don't know if she could carry that big boomerrang around.
/emote sulks cause he watches way too much Inuyasha, so much in fact that it is not good for him.

Don't be hatin da' game, hate da' playa.
(Don't hate the game, hate the players.)
Word.
Oh and Naruto IS a good Anime, not my favorite but its definately good. I do feel though, that by bringing it to the United States like they plan on doing, will kill it.

Naruto is one of those animes I just roll my eyes at and move on. To me, it feels like the brainchild of leet speakers and forum trolls... people with a gift for annoyance. I wish its immigrational demise well.
