AnimeFEST Pics (at long last)
Finally picked up my photos at Wal-Mart from AnimeFEST. (Disposable cameras suck, but they're all I can afford. If anyone wants to suggest a digital camera, let me know a good model and I'll add it to my Amazon wish list and let you buy it for me.)
Anyway, here's what my booth looked like this year:
Much better traffic area than last year, although there were two unfortunate things about it. First, the side I decided to set up as the adults-only section (right of pic) turned out to be on a traffic line of its own- just out of sight on that corner is the elevator for handicapped access to the lower floors of the Hyatt Regency. Also, set up out of sight to left Saturday and Sunday was a face painter who used airbrushing... plus hair coloring that comes in an aerosol can... and the air flow drifted the exhaust fumes and leftover glitter and paint over onto WLP's shirts, dammit.
Anyway, next up here's two women wearing their purchases. The Catgirls shirt was the big seller of the con- and it and Pledge will be officially available for mail order as of tomorrow!
However, there was one event on Saturday that, well, it made my whole damn convention. You see, the Hyatt rooms have on their beds extremely large spherical pillows. Earlier in the con![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ichigo_babe had shown me cel-phone photos of how that could become very, well, phallic... but -this- young woman and her friends, having walked past the WLP booth earlier in the con, decided to use them for a different purpose. "Hey, mister! What do you think of THESE?"
They then offered to let me pose with her, which I did. (Damn, I'm fat...)
And I then took opportunity to do something I could never, ever get away with if those had by some miracle of God and exemption from gravity been real:
That was the silliest thing I've encountered at a convention in years, and it REALLY made my whole weekend. In the spirit of things, I offered the young woman, in seriousness, a "Pledge" shirt free if she'd let me take a pic of her wearing it... without the pillows. No shirt I had would fit over those.
She returned much later to collect her shirt:
Sigh... from gargantuan to nothingness. Que lastima!
(Oh... from the conversation in her group during both visits, she's in a committed Lesbian relationship. Sorry, guys, look elsewhere for your gigantic-bust-cosplay fantasies...)
EDIT: I have been reminded that I am not talking like a pirate, as today calls for. Fine. I herewith shall talk like a pirate.
ahem Information wants to be free! If you still have a copy, I'm not stealing anything by making a copy for myself and 10,000 friends! Besides, it's not like artists need money to create- they'd create stuff anyway, whether or not they got paid for it! It's immoral to demand that I give up my freedom for your greed, man!
ahem There. I am now done talking like a pirate for another year.
