Sort of a similar situation with me and renfair people. I build and fit people with custom orthopedic braces and prosthetics and have access to a metal and leather lab.

I wouldn't claim anyone is overly flirtatious, but they do seem to get friendlier and ask a lot of questions about things like hand setting rivets.

Cosplayers would also love you, but the venn diagram between cosplay and ren fair is nearly a circle, so

I do work with a lot of moldable foam. I've always kinda figured if I get kicked from the field or get bored I can always build costumes or custom leather kink gear.
