crossplay
Crossplay is a subspecies of cosplay. What makes this different from regular cosplay is that the crossplayer is dressing as a character of the opposite sex. This applies to both males and females, yet the males are the most well known and ridiculed.
It is very hard to find a "good" crossplay. At best estimate, 4 in seven crossplays are hideous, to the rate of one in eight good cosplays.
Do not attempt this under any circumstances unless 1) you can make or have access to good costumes, 2) you are absolutely sure you will look good or just okay in it, and 3) you're sure that you will be going to a convention with so many freaks that nobody will mind.
