I see it no different as theater and such. Think back to plays such as Peter Pan. A lot of boys are played by females, and sometimes women are played by men. That's how I convinced my mom it was OK. When I was a ballet dancer I had to play a farmer boy.

I mostly crossplay because I tend to look better as a bishounen than an anime girl. They're just too unrealistic, with their huge chests and such.


Good point! Not only Peter Pan, but remember John Travolta as the mother in Hairspray? biggrin Sometimes roles just work better that way due to the voice/abilities the character will need smile

I'd love to crossplay more (only have one guy costume in the works right now), but unfortunately it's nearly impossible for me to bind my chest for a long period of time... It leaves really bad marks on my back and makes it difficult for me to breathe. Currently, I use a wide Ace bandage to bind my chest. Any suggestions for other ways that don't hurt as much?


And if we're on that note...

The entire cast is made up of women. Frankly, once you start watching, you can't stop. They're extremely talented, and it's gotten to the point where I get very confused when I see a male character on stage being played by a man. sweatdrop

I've seen crossplayers at cons and as long as the crossplayer has done the character justice I don't have a problem with it.

lol, that's nothing. I am looking for a leotard in a store, and I asked the young lady (around my age)

"Alright, I'll be straightforward with a question that may be embarrasing for the both of us. I'm a man, and I will be using a morphsuit with a leotard on top. How do I keep my junk from showing? It's not big at all, but I WILL be wearing skintight clothing"

Now tell me who had the most embarrasing question XD

And if anyone here can answer that question go ahead. I remember reading an interview MANY years ago, I think it was with David Bouie, and he said he used sports briefs to keep his genitalia from showing through the uber tight leather pants.

I have tried Duct tape before for Drag Shows... it's really uncomfortable and it's hard to do properly. Besides, I won't be able to sit down.

My first official cosplay was a crossplay! XD
It is hard for me because I do have a large chest-area and binding/wrapping hurts like hell and I firmly believe I am too girly- but I was talked into it. And everyone said I looked adorible and moe >_>
My next cosplay is going to kinda be a crossplay, but it's a boy dressed like a girl (*coughchibitaliacough*).
A huge majority of my anime friends are crossplayers, too razz

I'll admit I thought it was weird at my first con but once I got to the second it was pretty normal

I don't see what the problem is with crossplaying. Aslong as your having fun it shouldn't matter at all if you crossplay and anyway isn't that what cosplaying's all about: having fun. I wouldn't of started cosplaying if it wasn't fun..... I should say crossplaying.
Everyone is entitled to their own oppinion anyway, if they think crossplaying is wrong then they can tell people what they think but they can't really force their ideas on someone else.
The only reason why I cosplay as male characters is because there aren't really any female characters that I like and in a way I'm more boylike than the average girl. So who is going to stop me from crossplaying?? No one will because it is my choice.
If I asked you the same question would you say the same thing. Would you say that it is your choice to crossplay and that you won't let anyone stop you.... so let me ask you: Who is going to stop you from crossplaying?

It costs around US$50, forgot how much was shipping, but it was inexpensive. I also got pink shoe covers for bomberman.

the website is morphsuits.com , and the facebook group goes by the same name. Really helpful guys and nice too.

They don't ship everywhere though, I had to get mine shipped to a friend in the USA (fedex) and she then mailed it to me. And when I made the order like at 10AM, by noon it had already shipped O__O

I dunno if they have purple, but they suggest for colors or designs, to just get a white one and take it to a tincture shop I think they are called.
