There are two types of cosplay in Japan. Incredibly good cosplay like Kipi-san (pictured here as Misa Misa from Death Note).
And then theres...

Cosplay like erm this...
Actually, I'm not sure if he's cosplaying. His name is Alice. Picture taken by Lee - you can download a larger version to print out and hang on your wall at Tokyo Times. I wonder if Lee was able to keep a straight face when taking this photo knowing that he was going to upload it ^^;
Which picture burns your eyes the most? This picture of Alice or the gruesome threesome?
First time here?

THE GOGGLES, THEY DO NOTHING!
My eyes, my eyes! They should make cosplaying in drag illegal! Granted, this one is totally obvious, but ive been fooled once or twice in Akiba or Harajuku. You only notice when you get closer, unless its horiffically bad like alice here...

Oh while I am at it, Danny, you seem to be a loyal adept of the shock treatment (a bit like alternating between icy and hot water in the shower and no warm one).

How to say... You always treat us with something nice to soften us (I don't want to hear poor puns right now and I am not concerned, thank you) and the moment after, something very ugly to shock us a HUGE deal.

Why do you do that to us, your faithful fans? WHYYYYYYYY~?!

For all those complaining about the ugliness, you guys should realise there are only two differences in the pictures above.

1. Makeup. The former has got it done right. The latter did not select the right makeup.

2. PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!!!!! They are probably the same person. The first picture just was edited.

Just because there's 3 very ugly doods dressed as girls as opposed to 1 extremely ugly dood dressed as a girl, the gruesome 3-some hurt my eyes more.

Kipi on the other hand...wow.  If we're lucky, she might do a Yoko (from Gurren Lagann) cosplay sometime soon.

I don't know what the big deal is about Alice. People cosplay because it's fun, not because it's socially acceptable. If you laugh at crossplayers, don't then turn around and get mad when people make fun of you for being an otaku.
