You have a lot of cosplayer pics! That's one of my favorite parts in all of our company events (I'm in the gaming industry).

Happy WW!

Monkey! said...

fashion or costumes? that's a lot of style for teenagers!

Jim said...

I could look at pretty girls forever unless one would bite me (kick also, the bite is more romantic).
My vote is for the second picture, the girl on the left who is not intending cosplay.

Happy WW, thank you for your visit and nice comment. Yes, MacD's is all over the commercial world.

Those are some colorful photos ! Can't decide if they're "regular" clothing or "regular" costumes.
We are going to NYC just after Thanksgiving and you just gave me the idea to cross the streets with my camera. There are some "colorful costumes" there as well.

Have a great WW.

Wow - those are some fascinating photos. I love the colors and variety of style. The eye makeup was especially cool. :D

Thanks for dropping by.

Happy WW! Very creative clothing styles ... and the remarkable thing is that it appears that these folks are heading to work or school like a normal day...

Thank you for visiting my blog earlier today. I invite your blog readers to see 5 Obama Hair Don'ts!

I have no idea what "cosplay" is, but judging form a couple of these shots it seems a bit like Halloween.

Exceptional work as always CK!

Oh wow. Your post brought back such sweet memories from Harajuku. I love the Cosplay goin on there on the weekends. So cool. Your pics are fantastic, as usual! :)

Hi all WW participants and friends, thanks for visiting and your kind words.

'Cosplay' is combined from the two words 'costume' and 'play'. It is a sub-culture emerged from anime (animation), manga (comics) and video games where people wear costumes to emulate the characters in these media.

See you all in the next WW post. :)
