Since the Keenspace forum is down (gotta love Keenspace's continual technical difficulties), I'm starting a thread here so comments can continue.
Who is Enrico cosplaying as, I wonder?

No idea but he's got a great costume and looks really cute!

Ok...that's almost creepy. I only gave Erin a rather vague description of myself and the guy in the comic looks a bit like me...maybe Asians do all look alike. I've never had bangs, though, I just grew it all out to about two or three feet. Long hair is a good stress reliever or something to occupy the hands.
Incidentally, isn't there a level below Beatus? Like...Venerable or something like that? I seem to remember some people referred to that way in A Canticle for Leibowitz. I think Leibowitz is my favourite fictional saint and Joan of Arc my favourite real one. If she weren't French, I wouldn't be surprised if an adult Heinkel cosplayed as her.
I wonder if anyone will be St. Nicholas, patron of thieves? Also, since most stories of Robin Hood are set before the Reformation, someone with a sense of humour could be Friar Tuck.

Yes, there's a level below beatification. Mother Teresa got pushed past it pretty quickly, though.
And, at risk of sounding racist . . . Asian guys kind of do look alike ^_^; It's also true that drawing people in anime style (or anything simpler than realism) eliminates what could otherwise be distinguishing characteristics. And that, with a vague description, the result would necessarily be generic enough to fit a lot of people. (I wish you'd told me before that you don't have bangs ^_^; )

Sorry about that. I didn't think it was important. My hair looked rather like Father Maxwell's hair (as you draw it) than anything else.
And just for random's sake, a line half-remembered from a novel: Sancte Leibowitz ora pro me.

Too few people think description is important. Every year I get fangirl applications where the description is "Brown hair". Long, short, bangs, no bangs, curly, straight, light, dark, hanging loose, ponytail? Not a clue.
That's why I prefer when people just give me pictures =D
Where's that line from?

A Canticle for Leibowitz. It's a prayer of sorts offered up by some of the Leibowitzian monks from time to time. I believe it translates as 'Saint Leibowitz, speak for me.' That novel taught me almost everything I know about (monastic) Catholicism and the canonization process (rather dated, though, since it was written in the mid-50s).

I find the idea of a Catholicon extremely amusing.
