/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

No real wounds for me.
But this was what happened when I lost the Great Katsucon Gazebo Battle with some girl, then wasn't careful with the wind as I walked down to The Awakening

Ignore the awful face I'm making, horribly done back brace, wind blown hair and just about everything else in this picture. They had already just stopped moving like they were supposed to (They were made to be spread), and then the one wing just sort of snapped off in the wind.

I've sliced myself open on Conchita, sewing pins. Gotten expanding foam all over my hands. Nothing like almost losing my leg, though, Jesus.

I really didn't have any problems with any of the members of the other convention.
Were some rude? Yeah. Were some connies rude? yeah. The worst I had was a pair of girls ducked under my wings, and one girl ran her hand along them. I mostly got compliments from normies. If anything, I thought it was adorable that a bunch of the guys were fangirling over different /co/ costumes and the bumblebee
The most drama I has was between friends and a girl cutting me in "line" for the gazebo, then asking me to get out of her shot. Which then resulted in a trip to the Awakening, which resulted in the wind snapping my wings pretty much in half (pics related)
I wish I had made it to more panels and gotten more pictures, but I just couldn't find the time.
All in all I think I had fun, though, despite a rough ending and no more than 6 hours of sleep each night. People liked my Mrs Toad and Castiel, and surprisingly Conchita-monster-mouth-dress was still a hit, so the con wasn't a total flop for me.
