Cosplay

Excitement is brewing among fans of the magical world as actor and comedian Dan Fogler, renowned for his roles in the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise, gears up to visit Bulgaria for the Aniventure Comic Con festival on July 6 and 7.

Comic books, video games and colorful "cosplay" outfits took center stage at Comic-Con as the giant pop culture event kicked off on July 20 without its usual A-list stars due to the Hollywood strike.

Braving the soaring heat, tens of thousands of fans dressed as characters from Wonder Woman to Barbie and Ken flocked to San Diego, California.

Thessaloniki's longest-running festival exclusively devoted to comics, cosplay, and animation, The Comic Con, is set to take place on May 5-7 at TIF-Helexpo's Ioannis Vellidis conference center.

A number of world stars, including actors from the series "Game of Thrones" and "West World", arrive in Sofia for the event

This Saturday begins the 13th Festival for Asian Culture Enthusiasts. It is expected that thousands of anime and manga fans, gamers, dancers and many others will gather in the Universiada Hall in Sofia.

The grand festival will be held on March 31 and April 1 at 9:00.

Cosplayers are perhaps some of the most creative and awe-inspiring fans around.
You will often see them in their droves at fan conventions, accurately dressed as their favourite characters.
Some have even managed to find ways to use it to rebel against the system in the workplace.
The costumes are often made entirely from scratch – which is impressive in itself.

Wonder Woman, Mickey Mouse and Donald are posing in front of the White Tower in Thessaloniki while a few steps away Corto Maltese is smoking his cigarette.

All these cartoon characters and much more have gathered in the city of Thessaloniki for the 3rd Comic Con festival that will be held between 5 and 7 May.

Here’s one unusual way to make a living: mermaiding?!

As Vice France notes, the “job” originated in the US and mainly involves cramming one’s (shapely) legs into a homemade fishtail, then frantically beating the “tail” at aquatic shows and …private pool parties.
Who organizes such parties and where could be a whole other story.
