Origin of cosplay¹

First recorded in 1995–2000; cos(tume) + play

Martin was out there judging a cosplay contest as part of Courtyard by Marriott's Super Hero HQ.

Then, after a long period off, I started again with a GoT cosplay.

My first GoT themed cosplay was as Catelyn Stark and one of my closest friends was cosplaying Arya.

Growing up, I started to attend comic conventions and to be aware of the cosplay world.

The Asoiaf Cosplay consists of over 50 players who come together at least once a month at conventions and events.
