I'm not really into costuming, either. I like building the stuff, but wearing it? The whole time I'm pretty much waiting to gtfo. A few people thrive off the attention enough to distract themselves from the discomfort. Not for one second do I forget that I'd rather be wearing street clothes.
I've done it a grand total of once, haha. Never again if I can help it. :lol
Now that I have this made, my goal is to find excuses to travel and do photoshoots. What drew me into Mass Effect was the planet - hopping. Reading the info about a planet, and then wondering around on it to see what the landscape looked like was about my pace, haha.
I did a lot of that. I was addicted to the planet write-ups, particularly. I caught one or two science flubs but they're mostly pretty good and the writers often threw in some really nice sci-fi touches - like that one gas giant with the huge unknown structures inside it which nobody has ever been able to investigate.
If you like that stuff, get a load of this real life version, just discovered by the Kepler team. Elcor homeworld! Well, a bit warm for that, probably:
