Remembering something amusing...
Jun. 21st, 2005 01:45 pmI'll never forget one moment last year at AX. I was walking around all wide-eyed and innocent, just taking everything in and showing Anakin off...I was in my element and trying to figure out how to do things better for if I ever got a chance to do this again. (Obviously have. YAY!)
There was this guy wandering around in Slytherin robes. I was a bit surprised by this. Anime convention...why do we have wizards wandering around. Still, it was an awesome costume, and it made me smile. But, I heard these girls behind me just start bitching. How DARE he wander around not looking like an anime character? Didn't he KNOW? It's all about Japan, and this guy OBVIOUSLY didn't belong. He should be kicked out.
Right. Well. I made a mental note to never do anything so horrible myself...this guy must be such a newbie, right? But...there were so many other non-anime costumes still. I loved the showing of the local 501st...they had this totally kick-ass Anakin Skywalker, and we started talking. The rest of the con he'd wave to my Anakin, they'd greet each other, "Hi, Anakin!" It was great. So, I almost forgot what the girls had said...until the Masquerade.
That's right...the guy in the Slytherin robes? He was one of the expert judges in the Masquerade.
Guess who the newbies were?
~smirk~
No matter what you do, SOMEONE will bitch. SOMEONE will try to say you can't have fun so that they can feel smug and superior. And you know what? They don't matter. It's all for fun. Yeah, I could have done without Man Faye. Not for the reasons most people would think...I've seen worse looking guys in a lot less. I was uncomfortable with the spanking in front of Anakin. Rightfully so, since just a couple months later when Mars came over, Anakin went and spanked her before even asking her what her name was. At least she found it funny, right? I admire the guy's guts, and am amused by his statement. And, hell, it's kinda fun to be a little overboard with the revulsion. Does he *really* have to highlight his "package" with those shorts? And please, I don't want to see his ass with all the handprints on it, thanks. But...damn is he ever brave. I really admire his self-confidence. I could never do something like that.
SO! Who is going to AX this year? Who wants to meet up at some point? My costumes so far are Sumeragi Subaru, Inuyasha, Hiwatari Satoshi, Souma Akito, and Joulaim. Anakin is going to be Dark, a Jedi child, and we've got a couple of other costumes that aren't based on any specific characters but are still good costumes.
(The Akito costume is going to be pink. =/ Very pink. We thought we had a fabric that would work already, only to find out at the last minute that we *don't*. Oh well...at least I'll *have* it, right? Right.)
Anyway, look for me, or leave me a line here and we'll try to figure out when/how to meet up at some point! I'm looking forward to AX this year so much.
