So. Yaoi-Con was a month ago. And I'm finally posting about it. :'D
Here are pictures. I'm not making a really detailed con report since I'm fairly sure that I've already babbled about it to the people who would really care to read one anyway.
For those who don't already know, my ass because the topic for the weekend when it came up in conversation Thursday night. Friday morning, I managed to split the second pair of Mello pants in one week. I had split the previous pair during a photoshoot with
darkainand
roseofmalicedays earlier, so I had to buy a last minute replacement pair. I was just sitting cross-legged on a bed when I looked down to see that the vinyl had started separating from it's backing along the inner leg seams. Attempts at salvaging them through sewing or glueing proved fruitless. Fortunately, I had packed my Hard Gay!Mello shorts, so I ended up wearing those.
roseofmalicecouldn't make it, so her stand-in hung out with me.
Sally [
chaoticvein] suggested this. Beware vaguely obscene chocolate?
I wanted Mello pool party tiemz, so I wore my Death Note shirt and awesome new Halloween panties. I was still wearing my wig and scar make-up, so I kept my head above the water. Sally joined me. [Holy crap, that's the fifth time I've been exposed to copious amounts of water in costume in a two month period.]
Ali [
kaitouhotaru] and Karen didn't want to fully join our partay.
After pool tiemz, everyone wanted to go to Bishounen Bingo. I wasn't sure if I had the motivation to change clothes. So I didn't.
I informed everyone that I was protesting pants because they had betrayed me too many times [plus, I've endorsed thigh-exposure for years]. I seem to have quickly gained a reputation as "Pantsless Mello".
I went to a Saiyuki room party with Sally and Cyrus. We ended up playing Apples To Apples until like 2am. Someone who walked in at the middle of the game asked "Are you guys playing strip Apple To Apples, or is that just Mello?"
On Saturday I cosplayed Rozencreuz Orden!Ion Fortuna, since my Deitrich wig didn't arrive in time.
I didn't wear it all day because the coat was wool and it was hot. D=
Ali, Sally and Karen did Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplays. My job was to call Ali's cell phone at random intervals, thus causing his Sexy Back ringtone to play, which led to that song being another icon of the con.
After returning to my Mello costume, I was molested by boobs.
Yu-Gi-Oh was assaulted with the 4Kids!Gun [which I took to the con in lieu of my normal Mello gun due to California state laws].
After the Bishounen Auction, Sally and I went to the rave. We went through 40 glowsticks.
Sunday was Ali's 21st birthday.
We went to the Bishounen Brunch, where he was tackled by like eight guys upon us informing them that it was his birthday.
I was cosplaying crackfillerchapters!Allen Walker. Ali and I were bad influences on each other in the Artist Alley, where I made pretty much the greatest con purchase ever.
Ali was even more of a bad influence in the Dealer's Room by dragging me into the figurine buying addiction. I bought ten Death Note ones just because I wanted Mello and Near, and ended up with the whole set except for Ryuk. After getting duplicates of L, Light and Misa, I somehow performed a miracle of getting four DIFFERENT characters in a row, thus practically completing the set.
Beelzenef transported the bag of gambling shame.
Ali, Karen and I partied with Beelzenef.
We assembled a figurine army.
Beelzenef did some big pimpin'.
More partying was had.
And then we returned to the hotel room to watch some really horribly hilariously bad yaoi pr0n. So bad that attempting to describe it would not do it justice.
