Cosplay for fun and profit

Cosplay is not just a craft, or an artform, it's also performance art!

Actually, judging by people like Jessica Nigri or Lex, it is also possible - in extremely rare instances - for it to be profitable.

Meanwhile, here is a Top 10 vid to give you an idea of how much work goes into making this a serious profession.

And here is an image of Jessica Nigri, just so you know what I mean when I say she takes her cosplay seriously, and is brilliant at it.

Basic Fuckanomics

You're born with a ton of fucks to give. So you spend them like a kid with a credit card. You give a fuck about your friends, about your grades, about your fashion sense, about strangers opinions ..... you give away too many fucks about way too many things.

These things seem really dangerous, but also very practical. I can see every dude-bro's garage workshop with at least one of these, and if I was out in that shop on a freezing-ass cold day, I'd be parked next to this thing, because I'm tough, but still smart enough to stay warm. My first random thought was the Star Wars laser dish cannons . I loved Empire Strikes Back , and always thought these things were cool in a totally impractical kind of way. I love that Lucas and his people always seemed to let their imaginations run wild. I mean, just because WE think it might be impractical doesn't mean some ot

Specifically, here are her videos where she makes her own armor and then she makes a shield. She also has videos where she makes tomes, wizard staffs, and all kinds of awesome shit.
