Soooooo the last few years at the County Fair (you know like rodeo, 4H/Farm Animal Show stuff, showing off your hobbies and entering/judging photo contests or sewing contests or whatever....IDK THINK CHAROLOTTE'S WEB AND YOU HAVE COUNTY FAIR!) because the people in charge have been getting rid of more and more stuff each year and its gotten boring as all get out, I've been doing casual cosplays to keep myself entertained (and to get the occasional 'WAIT A SECOND' from people who recognize the character, that's fun) but this year has been so GOD DAMN HOT that I didn't think I was gonna actually do anything....so the last two days have been VERY casual cosplays...
But today, since it was the parade (not that I was in it but whatever) I decided to do, still a casual cosplay, but more on par of what I've done the last few years...
Anyways, if you ever wanted to figure out how to get kids from 4H groups or on a float for whatever reason, to single you out and throw extra candy your way do a Casual Cosplay. The absolute JOY on the one lil boy's face when he saw I had elf ears and he kept yelling 'ELF EARS! SHE'S GOT ELF EARS! ELF EARS!' as he threw candy at me specifically, made my day lol
Also old ladies with find you a joy and the occasional person will look at you, look away, and then turn back with a 'Wait? Link?!'
