Not so much a malfunction of a cosplay, but of day three of a convention, while getting ready to head out to the ball that was being hosted, I went to put on my makeup and I had gotten an allergic reaction to some new chapstick I bought.

:| I had to leave the con early and go to the doctor and be on antibiotics for about a month. RIP Burts Bees. Make me look like I had 10 lips procedures at once. They were so swollen. Missed out on the rest of the convention and I never got to wear that beautiful dress.

Someone got excited about the character I cosplayed and grabbed me and ripped two layers of my Cosplay off due to being a horny hambeast weeb. Thank god it was the end of the day, but I had to spend about $30 having to recover it.

Wearing my OYW Char Aznable cosplay. Someone asks to try on the helmet, seemed like a nice enough person, so I agreed.

Worst thing that's happened to me malfunction wise was when I was talking to my friends, sitting in a circle. As I was looking down to check my phone I finally noticed one of my boobs had escaped their prison. That of course was my fault because I was positive the strapless bra under the dress I was wearing was tight enough/big enough. I'm pretty sure someone noticed and I was pretty embarrassed. Only time it's ever happened thankfully so never again.

Yeah. We honestly STILL don't know what was going on. Took about 3 months for my lips to go back to normal. Since then I have not been able to use Burts. We aren't sure what was in it, but I can use other champsticks.

My lips just tingled Sunday morning and I figured it was nothing important. So I put more chapstick on, left for breakfast, came back to get ready for the convention, and my lips were 3x their size. It was so embarrassing. Went to the doctor and was given an antibiotic cream which I had to use for several months. It took place of my chapstick and finally it went away.

This was two years ago. We really have NO clue what the hell it was. It wasn't the peppermint either. No, not STIs or STDs. My doctor and I are still confused.

The thing is is that it would go away after a few days, then come back for no reason and my lips would be hurting a ton. I really don't remember what the ointment my doctor gave me was. It was two years ago.

I just know it hasnt happened since it went away three months after I started the ointment. I was told to stop using it when my lips would go down, but it would always come back. I had to throw away all my chapstick and lipstick and buy everything brand new.

She was jokingly flashing people throughout the con.

Not to mention, the person who "exposed her" was mentally disabled / handicap. The guy had the mentality of a child and started crying and apologizing when she yelled at him. He got separated from his caregiver and even the caregiver apologized and ensured him they would give him a fair punishment and she had him arrested. Then she went on Facebook and complained about it. Received tons of attention and gifts from white knights, while avoiding to mention the fact that the guy DIDN'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND.

He wasn't just some regular joe-schmoe. I actually feel bad that a young man with a mental disability will now be considered a sexual predator on his criminal record. She should've worn some damn underwear.

It was that day that I saw what a despicable person she really is and unliked her page / stopped following her work.

He likely realized what he did was wrong when he received a negative response back. I can also understand him not verbally apologize at the time, he likely hit a sensory overload.

All of this is also dependent on his exact condition and severity. But an adult with a caregiver can let you know that this wasn't a high functioning individual.

There was this Scarlet Witch at WonderCon last year. For almost all the con pictures of her that turned up her push-up bra was hanging out of her chest armor, and half the time her gel padding was slipping out of the bra too. Wonder if she ever figured it out but I was so embarrassed for her when I saw all the pictures turning up. Pic related, bra hanging out and you can even see some of the gel padding. So many of her pictures look like this that I wonder if she didn't know it was happening or knew her bra was showing and said fuck it cause she couldn't fix it.

If you wear underwear to conventions, and don't openly flash others, this shouldn't ever be an issue. She went out of her way to make this happen.

She made everyone at the convention uncomfortable, she's the creep, not the sap for pointing it out. As far as I'm concerned, she should had security called on her.

Had an old field pack with quick release straps, but they had shitty tolerances, so the bit that two rings together kept slipping loose and it would end up being held in place by naught but a single snap, which would inevitably fail.
