Cosplayed as a Dalek once. It was hot, stuffy, and difficult to manoeuvre. I now understand why Daleks are angry all the time.
Never cosplayed personally, but friend went in an admittedly simple Jedi costume back during the Phantom Menace era. We went to a Star Wars convention and just wow. The vibe was incredible. He garnered us so much attention in what was essentially a hand sewn wool blanket with a light sabre toy (no blade) on his belt with glued cardboard detailing. People LOVED the effort though even if it paled in comparison to the ‘professionals’ out there. Guaranteed conversation in any line or wait area. Great way to meet hot Twi’leks in your area. Cannot recommend enough you get into it if you are at all interested.
i had a friend who cosplayed as ironman and to sort of help guide/handle him i cosplayed as a s.h.i.e.l.d agent. mainly walked in front of him and prevented people from touching him because he was on some stilts to appear larger. then helped with taking photos with fans. my cosplay was pretty easy. Just a suit and a laminated badge hehe
I recently got my wife a sewing machine and cosplaying was a good creative avenue. She made a cosplay of Bulma from Dragonball. it was really cool and her own take given her skills. She wants to do another Bulma outfit but likely one from DBZ.
I was He-Man on Halloween as an 8 year old. My little brother was Orko. It was pretty awesome.
Does Halloween count?
I’ve done Johnny Depps character from fear and loathing in las Vegas for something
Nerdy from Jurassic Park.
Jack from The Titanic when I went to a haunted maze at the Queen Mary one year.
I cosplay as someone with their shit together most days.
