CBR, and a Little Weekend Cosplay Shaming
All declarations of interest on the table. Anyway, last week, CBR's Facebook page pushed an article from one of their partner sites, TheThings.com The article shows photos of lots of cosplayers, criticising their costuming and, during so, mistaking the She-Hulk costumer above as a 'gender-bent' Hulk Many are clearly fun costumes, meant to be quite silly, but[...]

Winter Cosplay: We Review Volante Design's Augment J3 Jacket
