I
used to be a hardcore crossplayer, but due to getting older and
becoming really tired of binding and hiding my hips I've given up and
have found I'm a lot more comfortable in female costumes.
This
was my first time wearing a 'revealing' outfit and I was nervous about
how it would turn out. Afraid people were going to think I was a slut,
or think I was a bondage queen. I spent hours making sure my costume was
secure in every way and 'sexy' without being trashy, and was thankfully
with a group from the same series.
Fast forward to the con and
before I even get up the escalators I'm feeling a little nervous and
awkward. On the first landing I'm stopped by two guys. Both of them fall
to their knees and start faux-praying and saying over and over:
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR WEARING THIS! THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE! THANK YOU!!"
After
a couple funny/awkward minutes of this they ask for a picture and I
pose for them. Wanting to be friendly after, I asked if my character was
their favourite from the series. Their answer?
"WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE COSPLAYING OR WHERE SHE'S FROM, BUT THANK YOU FOR DOING IT!!"
Then
they literally moonwalked into the hallway backwards, still bowing. I
was actually pretty flattered and after having a good laugh felt a lot
better going into the convention. Those guys really made my day. |
