The only thing that changes is if your vocabulary is being dictated to you, because you're trying to dress up as Hatsune Miku or because you're unfortunate enough to have a dress code at work or because you just prostrate yourself before the aesthetic universe of your favorite designer or, worst of all, ur a scurred bitch who caves into peer pressure and treats fashion as a skill to grind to 99 and finish; or whether you build your own vocabulary by eating the aesthetic language of others, hiking up your dress, and defecating your own aesthetic universe.
Of the former category, I think I like cosplay more than any of the rest.
Do you truly believe no direct relationship between a thing and its wearer is possible beyond its significance to a potential third party?

Dressing as something else with a lot of specificity is a pursuit not only divorced from the wearer's identity but directly counter to it. cosplay is an escape from identity,
but it is not fair to say that getting dressed is always and only an act of dissociation with oneself.

DudleyGrey, I don't think you need to worry - your comment has sparked some discussion and that's a good thing. Whatever you say in life is liable to be taken and interpreted in all sorts of ways - you can't dictate what someone will make of it. You can always come back and clarify what you meant if need be :) Now, pass me the drugs please ;)

While we're on the subject, can anybody compare traveling through time whilst wearing Boris vs. traveling through time whilst wearing MA+? Or is the general consensus that one will enjoy time travel equally, regardless of what he/she is wearing?"I would use lard if it came in a pretty bottle."
