As I understand it Cosplay is just wearing an extremely accurate depiction of a costume. Larping is... not nessecarily very exact costumes, but you actually role play as the character in real life, usually a battle of some sort (Dungeons and dragons is considered LARPing usually)

Larp stands for "Live Action Role Play" and the title is entirely indicative of what it is. You put on campaign appropriate clothing (fantasy clothing for a fantasy setting, civil war clothing for a civil war setting etc) and you role play the part you are given.
Larping tells a story, and often completing one LARP story leads into another.
Cosplay stands for Costume Play and again, the title explains the genre.
Cosplay is about the costume. The costume, not the action, is the star of this hobby. It is just for fun, quite literally, for play.
And to keep the topic on track, I found a more recent, non costume picture of me. Taken in October 2010.

How about...
I quadrupled the resolution, corrected the color, contrast, hue (etc) and removed a few artifacts.
That's about as big as I can make it without it getting terribly pixelated.
Well I am pretty much cpu iliterate so yea chris, it is kinda hard for me to post a direct link lol.
Hmmm, well I don't have access to FB to test it for you but if you are willing to try something quick...
Goto the picture you want to show on facebook and right-mouse-click on it.
From the menu that appears look for an option called "Copy Image Location" and click it.
Come here and open a posting window and click once in the white space then hit ctrl+v (press and hold down the control key and press V then release both)
it should create a line of text that points to the image.
Last step, at the very beginning of the line of text add the following.
[img]
and at the very end add
[/img]
then hit preview post. Does it show the image?

I tried to do that Mr. Robin, but when I right click it I do not see a "copy link location" I see a copy and a copy shortcut. I am trying to post a photo from my facebook account too.

And CR - you like Lady's hair color so much because she could play Fenian with it??
As for the facebook image, I suspect you cannot link right to it. Facebook doesn't seem like a hosting site - they want you logged in for anything...

Not working sorry. I think FB blocks hotlinking. Try uploading it to photobucket.com and hotlink it there.

I think the problem is you're linking to an actual facebook page rather than the image itself.

If not just getting a free photobucket account and putting it up there is quick and simple to do.
Edit: I see you did that already 2short.
Very nice pic too.
