A bit of explanation is in order - some people like to dress up like their favorite Japanese comic book characters. Doing this is called 'cosplay'. I had no clue about this, so occasionally I'd be at the mall and would see someone in a very funky looking outfit and think hmm, what interesting fashions you see in this town.
Fortunately Sam and I were at a local mall and ran into a 'Japan Fest' where there was a cosplay competition taking place. We got the drift and now we know what cosplay is. And so do you.
(sidenote: if more teenagers in the States spent more time doing this sort of thing and less time doing the sorts of things they are currently doing, they'd probably be better off - so parents, encourage your teenagers to read Japanese comic books!)
