Body Odor
Staying Fresh in cosplay
When you
find that outfit that looks really good on you and that you know you will turn
heads in, part of you will like to wear that outfit or costume every single
chance you get. Well at conventions you can. Everyone is allowed to dress like
they want as long as its appropriate and it is a costume.
I’m
talking to you people who wear nothing to Halloween parties and claiming the
costume is my birthday suit. Here is a cosplay contest rules for the Triad
Anime Convention, its under the dress code section of the rules which are short and easy to read. Majority
of the rules apply during the rest of the convention, and usually the same
rules are the same for every convention.
The
length of conventions can be from 1-2 days long or even 3-4, some even last a
whole week. It really depends on how big the convention is and how long it has
been around. Usually the longer conventions have been around the more days the
convention last. But this is not always the case because conventions do vary.
Anyway during these conventions most people would like to show off their
costumes and outfit. Some even chose to wear this one costume for the entire
convention. This is absolutely normal a lot of cosplayers do this.
Now the
biggest thing with conventions is the dealer’s room. This is a place where
people show off their costumes, purchase items from booths and gather to see
their friends. Its usually the most crowded place at conventions and its
usually really hot because of all the people their.
Hot dealers room + you in costume+ others in costume+food= a really
smelly convention
Body
odor is a natural thing, this article on Web MD explains this in a very light
and well written article. This website includes ways to prevent body odor, and
how to maintain a healthy and clean lifestyle.
As a
cosplayer there are chances you would like to get your photograph taken in your
costumes, or take pictures with friends. You wouldn't want to come off sweaty looking on photos which could be
uploaded online for millions to see. Also cosplayers love to “gloomp”, which is
to hug surprisingly from behind. I wouldn't recommend doing any of this if you
have B.O. or to another person who has it. This issue may seem trivial to some,
but it is still an issue a lot of cosplayers face. And today we can put an end
to it.

Very interesting topic and really fits well with your cosplay blog. Its a topic that most people wouldn't consider and would be great for cosplayers all around to know this. I wouldn't have thought to write something like body order but I get what your saying when you're sweating form the hot costumes and having so many people around looking at you. When I went cosplaying, I brought around a fan and lots of bottles of water. It was also good to mention the website that goes into more depth on this topic. Very interesting!
