Reminds me of a cosplay I saw at a my local Comicon this past January... A little boy had made himself a Bumblebee costume with a truly awesome twist. Have a look!
He won the masquerade event for his division with it, too. Fella was one of the more popular guys at the convention center.

As for me... I'm a self-taught costumer and cosplayer. Been making my own costumes since I was old enough to handle scissors, spray paint and hot glue, and got a good, reliable sewing machine about three years ago. I'm still going back and forth with myself over who or what I'm going to be... If I get my wig in time, I plan to finish my Professor Stein (from the anime Soul Eater;
this crazy guy. There are actually quite a few otaku at my university, and the anime club always hosts a Halloween party anyhow) cosplay. None of my other costumes would work, since they're all badly in need of repair or retired... Well. I have a fallback, at least. Dressing up as a stick person is always fun, especially because dressing in full blackout is nice and warm, and there are no street lights out where I live so the glow shows up really well on cold, clear mountain nights.
...Hey, I might be 20, but it's my belief that one is never too old to dress up and wander the streets with friends, begging candy from strangers. XD
