I also think it's really cool to see that there are others here who like to wear costumes (for hobbies or events).
I do wear costumes alas my picture was rather taken in private circumstances. Tuxedo is what I mean, my favorite costume. I wear it for fun however I know people that treat it seriously. Waiters for example, I am served weigh better while in tuxedo than when in casual clothes. I am sometimes ignored by the service if not in "proper" clothes.
Hence I use it for fun. To be serviced better or be listened more conscientiously.
Anyhow I think this is bullcrap that the world we live in causes such a inadequate response.
