I have a friend that always wears suspenders and brown pants. I feel like it would be fun to cosplay as my friend especially because he's lovable and funny. Is this acceptable behavior? Would I get a discount for wearing this costume to a con? Do any of you have experience cosplaying as one of your friends? Any advice would be great!

If he's a cool guy who doesn't sweat poo poo and you are on good terms, just ask! You may need to preface it with "I know it's a weird question but..", then tell them what you told us.


He'd probably laugh and go "Yeah, sure dude! Take pictures."

Dressing like your friend to imitate them out of reverence when no one else will understand who you are or why you're doing it is not ok because you are a creepy weird fucker.

How could you be so wrong? Do you know how honored I'd be if you started cosplaying me right now?

I worked with a woman who cosplayed as her own husband one Halloween. No one knew her husband and she had to keep explaining the costume. It was doubly weird because she wore a wig that looked almost exactly like her normal hair. Not a success, but YMMV.

There is a guy at my work who always wears a collered shirt, tie, and sweater. One day someone on his team sent out an email that they were trying to get everyone to dress like that for a day as a joke.

I didn't think much of it, but it got ackward when a manager responded to everyone that they weren't participating because they thought it was mean to mock the guy like that.

This manager of yours is bad and wrong. What is with everyones' loving hang-ups about showing mad props for your friends and colleagues by dressing and acting like them.

You won't be able to become someone lovable and funny even if you dress up just like them. Sorry :sweatdrop:

2008 Fashion SWAT Halloween Costume Spooktacular!

Zach Parsons and Dr David Thorpe posted:

Zackula: I always sort of wanted to go to a Halloween party dressed as someone's kid. Now there is some mental terrorism.

Zackula: Like I noticed and incorporated a ton of weird details about their kid, like his haircut and the type of pants he wears. Maybe wear an adult sized baseball shirt for their kid's team and then just throw in some really mean detail like a huge nose or act really effeminate all night.

Dr. Thorpenstein: I'm 100% down with this idea.

Zackula: That is some violence of the mind, my friend.

Zackula: It would work even better if you could get a group. Get everyone together in advance and look through their photo albums and have everyone dress as their kid. It's even better if their kid is there to get super upset.

Dr. Thorpenstein: Everyone could be a different member of the person's family.

Zackula: That could work too, but I really love the idea of focusing in on just the one kid. Like one person is the kid from '02 when he was playing for the Don's Pizza Wildcats t-ball team and another one is from when he played ice hockey. But then everyone, man and woman, lisps really bad and has a giant nose for no reason.

Zackula: That family would never recover from that poo poo.

Dr. Thorpenstein: Except maybe one woman is dressed in a sexy pirate costume, but she goes up to the dude and says, "You like it? I'm dressed as someone's whore wife who might be inclined to dress as a sexy pirate and who slept with Ron last year and her husband never found out."

Zackula: Over the course of like four or five Halloweens you could completely break a family down to nothing doing that stuff. Their family would dissolve or explode in a murder/suicide.

Dr. Thorpenstein: Because even if the dude's wife didn't sleep with Ron, that would be the perfect time to insert a premise like that and give him no loving choice but to believe it.

Zackula: gently caress chemtrails, man. That is the sort of poo poo the real New World Order is doing.

Dr. Thorpenstein: Yeah, like in Van Halen's "Right Now" video with the little cartoon of the dude pushing the dude over and it says, "Right now your government is doing things you think only other countries do."

Dr. Thorpenstein: Remember that? This is exactly the kind of poo poo Hagar anticipated with that statement.

Zackula: This is some reptilian agenda level poo poo though man. I don't even think humans are doing this. It takes some alien intervention from Pleiades.

Dr. Thorpenstein: I bet the reptilians are doing all sorts of Halloween-related ops, like everyone going to Paul Reiser's Halloween party dressed up like Greg Evigan.

Every morning I wake up early to watch my mother dress, and then I wear the same outfit as her. This isn't cosplay, though. It's part of a much larger, elaborate scheme to gaslight her into giving me my inheritance early.
