How many of you think you have an androgynous look?

Deathfire · 07-27-2007, 09:08 PM

lols sorry if there's some kind of thread around here somewhere, but how many of you think you can pull off both sexes and still be convincing?

Well I'm a girl so:

and...XD I don't have a regular pic of me, but here's one of me as Hisagi on the right (VERY old pic >_<; ):

Well depending on the cosplay I think I can usually pull off the boy look, but it's usually my hips that give me away XDDD;

okay, don't be shy! let's see yo face! XD;

I know I'm really girly...but that's ok for crossplaying anime/jrock/random girly boys.
Here's normal me... (on the left)

My first real cosplay attempt, as Mana from Malice Mizer

And my most proud crossplay, Roxel

I'm borderline enough if I hide some of the obvious male features (facial hair, big forehead) I make people wonder. It's enough to make me wonder what six months of hormones would do for me. But I have to think real androgny would mean that today you could go to the beach in a bikini or one-piece and guys would check you out.. and tomorrow you could go in board shorts and a tank top (and bind where applicable), and girls would check you out... and there's no way I'm going to pull off both of those.

Karisu-sama · 07-28-2007, 03:07 AM

I guess it's sufficient for that I have been referred to as "that guy" by passersby on a couple of occasions...

(While crossplaying, though - not with my real waist-length hair hanging down.

)

Seraph Lycan · 07-28-2007, 03:25 PM

Well here's me normal *most recent >_< so yeah kinda hiding...a bit. I dont really have good pics of me.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...self/n2ya2.jpg

and just regular semi-cosplay as Nana O.

Sometimes it depends on how i dress on if it look like a girl or boy O.o

Kirin-Riki · 07-28-2007, 03:35 PM

nope, not me at all.
i'm very manly, too bad girls in anime/manga don't have facial hair

Clive-kun · 07-29-2007, 12:53 PM

I can't stand it when really manly looking boys try to crossplay super popular girl characters, and then complain that people look at them oddly. (This doesn't partain to any of you, I promise! I just thought of that randomly haha)

Hmmm...I'm not sure, what do you guys think?
Could I pull off being a girl or a boy?

plastic_man · 07-29-2007, 03:25 PM

;_; I wish I was androgynous looking...

And most definitely Gingernut!

EgnirysFaye · 07-29-2007, 03:31 PM

I think I might, I have Scandanavian features which suits a guys face when crossplaying XD Yet look femme enough when normal.

Rat-Face · 07-29-2007, 11:07 PM

*grins and waves* I think I pull it off. Well, I can. I've got really mannish eyes (that is, thin eyelashes that are mostly blond anyway) and I have a bold chin and stuff. My mouth is really girly, though.
I was called "sir" for a long time when I cut my hair off.
Which is why it sucks that I crossplay so badly. I never look definitively male. Thbt.

With a little makeup to highlight select features? Oh yeah. Easily. You could probably skip it altogether, if your mannerisms (sp?) are up-to-par.

Kuro Yue · 07-30-2007, 12:27 PM

I believe I'm relatively androgynous, face-wise anyway (curse you, hips. . .*shakefist*). The main reasoning behind this is that when I was younger (as in, before puberty), people would mistake me for my brother and vice versa. Even a little while ago, when mom was trying to force me to tie my hair back, she remarked that I looked a lot like him. >< Which is why I keep my hair close to my face.

No photo evidence because my camera sucks and I'm not photogenic.

fallenfae · 07-31-2007, 04:35 PM

When I straighten my hair and put eyeliner on, they just cant tell o.O poor little innocent citizens...
