I thought this costume was amazing. Good thing she won. This is the winner from my point of view at blizzcon 07

Question: Can you wear a costume and not cosplay at Comic Con?
I am going to New York Comic Con with a group of friends. We are generally new at this and would like to dress up, however I know people get very involved in cosplay.
So I am asking:
1. Is it acceptable to dress up without being overly involved in the character?
2. Is it okay to go as very recognizable people (for instance, DC superheroes)?

Thanks!

Yes and yes. At any con, it is acceptable to dress how you want, you can be in character as much or as little as you like or not at all. There are two things to remember, smile or strike a cool pose when you are asked for a picture. And have a great time.

This is the best of the Blizzcon 2009 Costume contest in under 10 min. It features the best costume-to-concept matches in my opinion. I made it slightly more dramatic, adding pictures of the costumes as the contestants walked out, tweaking some of the sound, and adding appropriate music at the end. I had to make some difficult cuts to keep the video under 10 minutes. I also edited the contest winner scene at the end so that the end was more dramatic with no corny jokes. I had a great time at the convention and recommend it to anyone, even a non-gamer. There are a lot of theatre folks there too, who enjoy costume design, voice acting/singing, and dancing.
