practicality

You're definitely not - and thank you for the insight on state of things in other parts of the world! I really only know the English (and thus mostly North American) side of things, as is probably evidenced by this post. I'm still kind of brainstorming on my 'ideal' cosplay site and how to run it, but in the meantime I've got a maplecosplay I've been posting WIP photos to, and I have plans for some tutorial-type stuff (one mostly-written, one still in photos, and then a brainstormed list). I actually considered going into why I ended up choosing tumblr for that here, but this post was already over a thousand words, so I figured I'd leave it as is *g*

(And while I don't have one to match, I thoroughly approve of the Gintama icon)
