Some people love golfing, others like to hike, but Anne Bruinn’s hobby is about "adding a little bit of spice" to other people’s day by wearing a costume at the end of her driveway and entertaining passersby.<\/p>
The would−be Mrs. Dressup likes to call herself the "queen of the cosplay corner," referencing the joy of costume play, a performance art where people dress up as a variety of characters.<\/p>
Bruinn said she has been surprising her drive−by audiences as everything from a "Star Wars" stormtrooper to "Beetlejuice."<\/p>
"I have a captive audience because there’s nothing else to look at … I am the star of the show even though it’s anonymous attention," said Bruinn, who regularly dresses up to greet people from a busy corner on South West Marine Drive in Vancouver.<\/p>
"I know it’s boring between here and wherever you’re going. So, hopefully I can make your day a little more interesting," said Bruinn.<\/p>\n\t\t
