Kosu Pure
For reasons that are increasingly obscure to me, I stopped by at the Conservative party leadership convention a couple year's ago. Looking back I realize I do not even have a Belinda Stronach poster to show for it. My clearest thought at the time was sparked by noticing Cosplayers on their way into a different exhibition hall. The thought: I am going to the wrong convention. Sadly, no Cosplay party is contesting the current federal election.
The Rocky Horror Show and Star Trek inspired countless fans to dress up as their favorite characters. Japanese fans of manga, anime and games have taken this custom and perfected it. They call it Kosu Pure or Cosplay. The Japanese version of "Costume Play".
