The 10 Commandments of Cosplay

I-Thou shall be clean:
In this sence that you must make sure to Bathe at least once a day and if not able to do so for even that, deoderant is a super close second to coat yourself with. Coating yourself with cheap body spray/cologne just doesnt help, rather it makes it worse.

II-Thou shall not be a Creeper:
No heavy breathing behind a cute cosplayer, no following the Voice Guest to their hotel room to seal their pizza box (so you can claim that you have Johnny Bosh's pizza box), be mindful of personal space, leave the lude sexual comments at home, and when a person says to leave them alone....just leave them alone.

III-Thou shall ask before Glomping:
Be mindful that people put time into these costumes and Im certain they just want you to piledrive them with your Glomp into a wall breaking their costume (armor,mech, ornate decorations, props, face paint on a real fur tail). Be polite and ask first to give them what they feel is an ok glomp for them. Also gropeing isint normal for a glomp......so just dont do it, unless they say its ok.

VI-Thou shall have a balanced Diet:
It doesnt matter how delish pockey or candy bars are....they arent real food and can not fuel the body properly. While as fast food isint really that much higher, it can work to fuel you body with the right combinations. Bringing a cooler of deli meat, peanutbutter sammichs, apples, bagel, or even fruit can and will help porperly fuel the body for an energy filled weekend.

V-Thou shall not be an Elitist
It doesnt matter how much more you feel that you know of cosplay, or building armor, or styling wigs.....just dont be one. We are all here because we at one time in our cosplay/anime life were rookies, not knowing jack squat......but were willing to learn. It also doesnt mean to shun off others you feel are unclean or dress from the "crappy spinoffs" of the show you cosplay. So even if they just have a headband, ren fair cloak, or foam sword.....they are trying and you never know.....they just might be your friend if your nice to them.

VI-Thou shall not leave your brain at home:
Trying to stay awake the whole 72 hours of a convention, not a good plan. Not bothering to get a room just cuz you think ther will be spots to sleep in the elevator or hallway, nope. Not taking your cell phone with you so friends can get ahold of you for when they need to drive back to the hotel......4 miles away. Trying to mooch off others for the whole weekend (food, room, badge, clothes),big NO. Takeing drugs to get "that extra kick" for the rave, just stupid. Takeing stuff that doesnt belong to you....great way to get a free ticket to jail.

VII-Thou shall not be a Drama Llama:
Drama is never needed, it does not need to be made, it fails to be started, its just not wanted. I it also ill advised to create it just because you have a beef with someone or people didnt pay attention to you skimpy costume like you thought they should have. Drama is never fun for the gang, because if one has drama....everyone in the room has it.

VIII-Thou shall not be a Weeaboo:
Super Kawaii desuuuuu nyann nyann Carmelldansen is not a proper sentance nor does it need to be. Inserting what you feel is Japan speak into everything you say doesnt make you look cool, actually quite the opposite. Just because you feel that you connect with you character you cosplay, does not make it any less awkard to those around you when you constanly feel that you are that character.

IX-Thou shall not speak of THE GAME:
The Game is dead, it does not need to be mentioned, nor does it need to be told of or shouted from the roof top. The Game has long since been over......stop beating a dead horse..........THE GAME.

X-Thou shall be repectful of the Guests:
Please for the love of god dont camp outside their hotel rooms, tear their clothing, stalk them at the Burger King down the street from the Convention, or kidnap them. They are humans, respect that and they will respet you. Chat with them, ask before barraging them with flash photography, be polite with the autographs (porn is usually a no no to get a guest to sign). You never know what a Convention guest will do if your nice and heck they might even sign that fith object you want even though the kon said only 4.
