FIRST COSPLAY EVER

When I was in 6th grade, I made a Jigglypuff costume for Halloween.

It was my first "home-made-costume" that I did myself, and I was surprised to find it still existed when I was going through storage boxes in the basement. My parents saved it all these years, making it extra special :3

So July 25th was the first ever celebration of (The Epic Cosplay Party of the World), an event that invites all cosplayers around the world to share a photo or video of them celebrating the fun of cosplay (the possibilities are endless!)
I was working for a big part of the day on the 25th, but I spent my time after work working on magikarp plushies while my boyfriend worked more on Big O.

In the wee hours of the morning though before sleep and work, I was on a skype chat with some cosplay friends...I decided to be silly and don this costume for the first time in 11 years....and then I thought it'd be funny to put on my Gary Oak wig and make a silly expression XD
Friends in Pokemon Skype chat dubbed this "Gary Puff" and much hilarity ensued.

How did you celebrate?
