i seriously doubt all jap cosplayers are paid models. judging from pics and images from j-documentaries... most japs are pretty damned inbred ugly. i bet the cosplayers among thme and even worse.
and looking at the pie charts just makes me conclude that the guy cosplayers are better-looking than the chicks, and more likely to be gay. sad, man.... unless you're gay... in that way...
