London’s MCM Expo: bringing cosplay to the masses?

London’s MCM Expo: bringing cosplay to the masses?: "Call me old-fashioned, but I'm someone who, until recently, thought of assembling costumes and dressing as famous people as ‘fancy dress’. While I enjoy it as a hobby (and believe it is not something that should be reserved for Halloween), it was my naive opinion that ‘costume play’, or cosplay, was reserved solely for the anime and J-RPG obsessive otaku. A recent trip to London’s MCM Expo showed how a much more varied and accessible the world of cosplay is."
