/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Three years ago (in high school), I had a friend who was very much into cosplay, and still is as far as I've seen.
I went to a few cons with her, and even tried to help her as much as I could (keeping in mind we were both students and didn't have a whole lot of money) with cosplays; without fail, though, she'd ignore me when I told her not to buy pre-made costumes online, so I gave up after a while.
