Where this gets really interesting is when you throw cosplay into the mix.
For example, I consider
Megumi Natsume to be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, even after mentally compensating for the fact I'm pretty sure that she's been touched up in Photoshop there. She has a number of traits I find extremely attractive.
The caveat?
I have never seen her outside of costume. It seem to me like that should matter, but I always just end up thinking "meh, as long as the wig and contacts are convincing, is it really a problem? How is it different from just changing clothes?".
