It’s been almost a week since Anime Central 2010 and I’m still riding a wave of enjoyment. So I guess that means I had a really good time! I did indeed have a lot of fun at the con. This year I skipped out on the Thursday meetup to see Pandora Boxx at the Berlin Club in Chicago. That was a lot of fun, but a little crazy staying up so late the night before the con, though I do that all the time!
This year I didn’t have the family come out until Saturday to avoid the trouble of school and other engagements. That left me free to cut loose on Friday. After opening ceremonies I got into my Tohru Goth-loli nurse cosplay now with a new bag and shoes and went out to take pictures of cosplayers. Later I went to the concert featuring the Spoony Bards and Aural Vampire. I’ve always loved the Spoony Bards since they started playing in the lobby at ACen years ago. And Aural Vampire was pretty good too.
Next it was time to change into my second and newest cosplay, Mahoro Andou. I hadn’t given this one nearly enough test fittings, so it took some time to get it all together. I was planning to go over to the AMV room in the Double Tree to see AMV Wars Hentai Edition. I had an entry in the contest and thought it would be sort of ironic to go as Mahoro who definitely doesn’t go for anything echi! LOL I also thought it would be pretty funny if I won because I probably couldn’t tell most of my friends about it, much less show them the video.
Well as it turned out, there were only two entries, mine and the defending champ from last year. I was sure I had no chance, but after I saw his video, I had a glimmer of hope because he didn’t really follow the Sexy Magical Girls theme. Then my video played and the crowd really got into it, clapping to the music! They liked it! They really liked it!
The defending champ had a lot of fans in the audience, so in the end I tied with his video. He won the thong, and I won the bra. People were a little shocked when Mahoro got up to accept her prize! But even better than that, prior to that a young woman had called me adorable! <3 After that I watched some more videos before heading back, bra in hand, for the dance where Mahoro danced into the early morning.
Well, I’ll pick this up a little later. In the meantime here are some awesome Sailor Senshi.
