And seriously, I don't know why there's so much negative attitudes against cosplay. It's something people enjoy doing and it doesn't hurt anyone else (except in specific cases: see Man Faye. My eyes! They burn!). Obviously some people probably don't have the body to do it, but hey, if they made the costume themselves more power to them. Some of the costumes are very elaborate and take a lot of skill, and I find it sad that someone would deride them for being able to do such a thing.
