^^ Hello! these are some links to me cosplaying various YnM characters. =D hope you like them. One is a CG.

http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/6293413/1428602 puppy Tsuzuki from the side on stage. XD with the horrible wig.

http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/6347509/1428602 fortuneteller Hisoka. XD See Watari gave me some weird candy that turned my hair brown and my eyes blue. this is what happens when contacts are too expensive and blond wigs are only avalble online for $50...

http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/6356008/1428602 Maria Wong singing1. this years Maria Wong will be posted as soon as someone uploads it.

http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/6356016/1428602 hahaha Tsuzuki from the first spash page of volume one. This is what happens when you work at a thrift store and NO ONE comes in for hours at a time.

HAHAHA I love the last one!!

Those are great! I've never seen any cosplay for YnM, only one I came across once so it's great to have someone post up some stuff. Oh yes and where was that? A at a convention??

And what's a thrift store??

Anyway thanks for posting I enjoyed seeing your cosplay pictures, if you are ever able to post more please don't hesitate.

T_T yes we YnM cosplayers are a dying breed There was a Watari the first day that I didn't even see, and I was the only ones after that. HAHA I went to the rave as Muraki and got to scare my best friend. ^^ thanks!

thrift store: people come in and give their old stuff *jewelery, clothes, furniture, and sometimes even bath tubs and sinks.* and then we pull out what's good enough to sell and sell it to other people. ours is done under a charity. It's fun to work there until the slow season when hardly anyone comes shopping, or donating and there's three of us with nothing to do for hours on end. XD most of the jewelery you see on my Hisoka costume came from there. I love working the donations because we get first dibs and nice discounts.

^_~ ja!

Sounds like pawning or however you say it or spell it. But that does sound like fun, when they're customers like you said.
I'm not sure if there were ever a lot of YnM cosplayers once upon a time, but I think your right on the whole dying breed thing, because I hardly see it. Cosplaying I always imagined must be hard work too, making or finding the right costumes, and we all know anime likes to dress up their characters in more then a shirt and jeans, and then there's the hair...but it must be worth it in the end I imagine. ^_^

rofl, i love the last one too! all of them are great though, # 2 is compleley awesome (candy and all), and puppy tsuzuki and maria wong are awesome.

i think one of the reasons that ynm is so undercosplayed is that the costumes aren't very recognizable, at least compared with other anime characters. I'm sure many people walk right past someone dressed in a orange tee shirt and jeans and not even know they were cosplaying. Whereas if you're walking in an orange tee shirt and jeans and have a leaf headband on, someone might say, "oh, of course, it's naruto!"

Ah that's very true, a though that crossed my mind as I was writting 'bout cosplaying that doesn't usually involve a shirt and jeans. lol!!

And that Naruto statement is very true. Still I always thought the under-played nature of YnM clothing would encourage people to cosplay more, because since there's less to do it'd be easier to get the result you want. Though that might just be my wacked out logic talking there.

Hey, I'm still keeping up the good fight wherever I go. I won't upload any pictures, but for the past two years, I've been cosplaying as Tsuzuki. Sure my build, hair, and eyes aren't perfect, but I dye my hair and make great steps in my costume. One time I fashioned a tie out of black pantyhose, and at the latest con I carried around a Cinnabon box and had pinned a mini sign to my coat saying " I HEART Kurosaki Hisoka".

I don't see any other YnMers at the cons, though, which makes me sad. Crying or Very sad
