Cosplay question of the day

[moonwise]

Why is it that so many Sailor Moon cosplayers (specifically Usagi/Serena cosplayers) seem to have an undue amount of icons with their own face in 'em, usually photoshopped to look wistful/dreamy/whatever? Is there something about Usagi that attracts the narcissist, or are these folks (consciously or not) attempting to emulate the storied Madame Kou? From my (limited) memory of Sailor Moon, Usagi isn't the brightest bulb on the string, but I don't know whether the character is considered to have an unduly high opinion of herself.

Probably has more to do with the whole "star of the show" type deal you get in shoujo, but what's often conveniently forgotten is that the the chickie with the Super Duper Attack can't do jack shit without her supporting cast to beat up the bad guy to start.

There's not a whole lot to tell except that Madame Kou was the "guest of honor" at the panel and spent a lot of time talking about the popular Internet rumors surrounding her and how they are so omg not true. After a while, jaina and I got tired of the "ME ME ME" and left.
