CosPlay = Costume Play, it's was a hobby started by Star Trek fans in the mid 1970's, who began dressing up as their favorite Star Trek characters. In the early 1980's CosPlay's popularity spread as historical reenactment and Renaissance Faires became a popular hobby. The biggest change came to CosPlay in the mid-1990's though, when it migrated to Japan and was embraced by the Manga and Anime fans. Today CosPlay is usually used to describe the hobby of sewing and wear costumes of your favorite cartoon and comic book characters.
Manga is the Japanese word for comic books, while Anime is the Japanese word for cartoon tv shows that are based on comic books.
CosPlay also includes such hobbies as Halloween Trick or Treating, Masquerade parties, and professions such as Drag Queens.

I like the ones that put a lot of lenses on the home page too, those are the ones I try to join most of all, but there aren't that many of them, so I decided I should start a few new ones and do it myself. I'm planning on starting a few more groups over the next few days, as well. Right now I'm focusing on the ones I started last night, as well as revamping my older ones.
