TGX

[shuushuu]

TGX 2010 ended up to be an event with a lot of happenings, both fun and unpleasant. Me and orientalpunk redid our red and white IM@S costumes after a last minute change the day before and there were flurry SMS to and fro to borrow wigs. The most amusing thing I found was being asked in the event hall whether were we cosplayers or booth girls(typical short skirts with boots) XD

Fun - These are the small events that make me miss the old days

Day 1: Boob fest day!

• orientalpunk took a video of me groping miwitch's as her costume had 2 cute 'cups'. Initially I thought they were 2 solid cups
  
• A group of female cosplayers gathered and there were boob shoots and Killua(cvy) nestling with a kimochi expression amongst Fang's(blacklash) chest
  
• yuanie and Ruby's Nyann Nyann baos as breast transplants alternatives
  

Day 2: Props FTW and crossdress Miku with kimochi-expression photogs

Unpleasant - These are the small events that make me want to quit cosplay. They happen on day 2. I'm not sure whether was it because I wasn't cosplaying but being a Saikang aka their manager so I saw a lot more things. Somehow, events have grown to be such that when cosplayers go there, the public seem to think we're employed by the events to help promote. Event organisers take cosplayers for granted "Feel free to spend your own money on costumes, come to our events, get chased and grumbled at by toilet cleaners, help us promote for free but take care of your own expenses and belongings!". Not lj-cutting because I really want to rant I^(P*D^VT$!

• An auntie patting her chest exclaiming "Scary" when the Dark Stalkers team entered the event hall
  
• Garena dragging Yuanie's Dark Stalkers team around their booth and taking photos of them on their stage and with their banners. What has they got to do with Garena?!
  
• In the event hall after being manipulated by Garena to boost up their booth's popularity, a HJJ was taking a close up video of sfsakana. I looked at him. He stared back at me. I stared back at him and he stared DAGGERS back at me as if wanting to kill me. I almost thought he wanted to beat me up. He later got distracted by booth girls
  
• Walking out of the event hall with sfsakana and xrysx leading the pack, a guy with a media pass holding a video camera ran and knocked yuanie quite hard. They paused when requested by a passerby for photos and he filmed them being taken photos of. When they were discussing whether to let him film them(he was still filming away), I told them about him knocking into yuanie. They decided not to let him and to walk away. I purposely walked in front of his camera and he shooed me away. I pushed his camera away and told him not to film. He told me (in Chinese) very rudely "Nobody wants to film you!" or "Nobody filming you!". This made me quite mad and I fiercely told him I was helping them then he "Oh". I should have hit his camera onto the floor WTF
  
• After mingling with hiyuki and Skye on the second floor, as we were leaving to go to the front, I got away from the railing. A cup and camera landed behind me. >orientalpunk got hit on the head by something. We were quite bewildered and nobody seemed to know where it came from. The few of us at that area looked up(to see the roof with no obvious holes) and looked down the first floor but found nothing amiss. Then a few guys walked past us. One of them told us nothing, another threw his maggi mee onto the floor near us. They started beating and scolding 1 guy. We overheard them saying stuff like "why you molest my girlfriend", "touch here and there". We were quite shocked. We didn't feel appropriate to stop them as we didn’t know any of them(beaters and beaten) and being all girls group. There were quite a few other guys around but non wanted to stop them
