In my last blog entry: Japanese Cosplay puts Halloween Costumes To Shame!, I briefly introduced you to the fascinating world of Cosplay.

Just like little girls are obsessed with being princesses and boys with being some sort of superhero for Halloween, Japanese take Cosplays seriously.

You see, if you are an aspiring ‘model’ or a wanna-be model, or/but too short for America’s Next Top Model, Car Imports conventions are not your only choice anymore. Contact these guys at cosplaylocator. They might be able to help you out (……I THINK….)

Well, except for this guy or gal(?!):

Man, WTF?!?
