This is a kind of normal way one starts to actually crossplay, I think. What happened was one day I was invited to a friends house to hang out, this person was in fact a real girl born and raised. Anyway we were supposed to meet up with a bunch of friends to play video games and such. So after waiting an hour and talking we started talking about cosplay for the anime con we go to every year and decided due to the one coming up was a mere month we would get plans for the next year. Pretty simple right?
From here I threw the idea of, "hey, you know what would be funny?" I said how bout our whole group crossplays next year. She said nothing for a minute and started to laugh a second. She was like, "YES! we are totally doing that, the guys will be random girl characters and the girls will be random guy characters!" I was kind of shocked, I mean it was kind of a joke, but I actually wanted to do it since I began to cosplay six-ish years ago. After the idea, I started to look at ebay for a costume with custom fit and about a week later, I ordered the costume... well its actually, that friend ordered it for me, due to it being a tad awkward and not wanting my parents to think I was homosexual. She was fine with it and of course I paid for the costume from her. Two weeks later the costume came in. Thats where i started to do a lot of research on makeup, accessories and other clothing to use to make the female form I want. The most surprising thing to her was I wanted to pass, although she thinks it really cool.
