Cosplay Tips and Guides

Do's and Don't during Cosplay Conventions

I am making this entry because I see that many cosplayers are quite ill mannered during cosplay conventions.
So here are my Do's and Don't s:

# 1
Being asked by a con-goer for a photo of you, please DO NOT FORGET TO SAY "You're welcome" if they say thank you or even just bow or nod. It is simply called manners.

#2
When you see your crush, please avoid SCREAMING ON THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS. It is not the end of the world my dear. :)

#3
Please avoid screaming scandalously. Yes, I understand very well that you are having fun with your friends, but need to be aware that even though its an all cosplayer/otaku place it is still a public place and we are disrupting the peace and order of the place.

#4 (CR)
Please avoid throwing wig strands on the sink. It is very troublesome for the staff of the mall. Yes I know that they are paid to clean, but please we should learn how to keep things neat and clean after we use them. So if ever you see strands of your wig please throw it yourselves because I don't think the staff nor the owner of the establishment would be happy for the mess.

#5 (CR)
Please avoid using hair spray for hold or for dye. It is not actually pleasant for anyone's nose to be able to sniff that stuff and considering that there are a lot of people using that place. I strongly advise that you guys style. your wigs already before going to the event to avoid trouble and discomfort for others.

#6 (props)
When bringing big weapons, please be careful with it. Always observe your surroundings because you might hit someone with that even if its not on purpose.

#7 (attitude)
When you see someone cosplaying the same character as you please avoid comparing that your better.
Be humble and just please mind your own business. There are some people (my friends) who tell me this. That even when they are in front of those arrogant people they say "That's okay, I know I'm better" Dudes... we are all cosplayers here. We are all equal, so please do not be too full of yourselves

#8 (namecards)
When you are given a namecard by other cosplayers please give them yours too if you have. For me it is a form of making new friends/acquaintances.

#9 (new cosplayers)
If you see new cosplayers who needs company, join them! It'll be fun and you get to have new friends/groups. Let them feel that they are welcome and let them experience the "REAL FUN" in cosplay and not cosplay for "FAME"
