Cos they can
I’ve always had a soft spot for cosplayers. Growing up as a metal head when everyone else was into The *spit* Smiths meant putting up with a lot of crap.

I have no idea how much grief these kids got today for living the dream:
More pics here. They were on Oxford Street for an Anime Day @ HMV. Sadly I had no idea that Electric Eel Shock were playing instore or I would have got there earlier myself.
Bank Holiday Monday sees another kind of costumed fan take to the streets as the dead walk. I’ll be checking that out too.
Takes some gutts to wear something like that in the current wintery weather we’re getting in mid-August!
I think it takes guts full stop
But yeah it’s not much of a summer to be going around dressed like a cartoon
