A motley crew

I actually took today's photo in August but forgot to blog it. I was at America the Beautiful Park when I spied this odd little trio walking at a distance from me. I just thought they were wearing interesting clothing, and filed that first impression away in my head. But upon closer inspection of the pictures, I realized that they were wearing costumes, and they must have been on a photo shoot! Notice the girl in the white shirt -- she's got a camera slung around her neck. This is the second time I've managed to stumble onto a cosplay photo shoot. I wonder what characters these two represent. Can you tell? (I know nothing about this stuff!) Also, I do remember that it was very hot that day. I congratulate them on their ability to withstand the heat in those crazy costumes. I wish I could see the images these guys created, I bet they came out great!
