What is cosplay costuming, and what is a Lolita dress?
My kids are big into anime (aka Japanese animation), and like to go to anime
cons...it's a whole sub-culture all its own. Cosplay is short for costume
play. People dress up like their favorite characters...some of the costumes
are absolutely amazing! They have a cosplay competition...each person is
allowed a few minutes on the stage to show off their costumes and do a short
skit. More info here...

Lolita dresses originated in Japan. They're usually short and bedecked with
lace and net, made out of satins and silks and velvets. They can also be
long. They're somewhat goth/victorian looking...akin to the steampunk look.
There's a better description here.
