WOW!

I didn't know he went through all of that!! I went to the Anime Expo in 03 and remember seeing and snickering at him in that costume, but he looked fatter before. All he needs to do now is shave.

I've only been to AX since04 when I frst met him. got a good chat with him during the 05,

I am almost getting up the courage to do a tribute to him with Black-Faye.

but we'll see.

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse here (OMG WTF 1 DAY AFTER NERCROPOSTER!!!111one), but I felt the need to say something.

This year at Otakon was my first crossplay. I went from short brown hair to purple hair and boobs, and believe me, there's a lot inbetween that you don't want to even think about. Whether you like it or not, you have to respect him. It takes a lot of pride (and a lot of courage) to even try that. I don't know if I'd necessarily go that far to be a woman (those short pants are killing even *me*, plus the body hair, which I made sure to get rid of), but it's a fun gesture, and he makes a good point about women and scandalous clothing. It'll be interesting to see if this happens again next year.

While I respect and admire him, its not >that< big a deal.

I've spent many a con in various dresses, (Including a re-enactment of the infamous '3 seashells' incident at Marcon...3 seashells were the entire costume...use your imagination as to placement.

) a long weekend at a renfaire as a >pregnant< peasant. and over a two-year run in a local theater's Rocky Horror live cast, played EVERY single character.

(And for those who haven't seen me, I physically resemble Man-Faye quite a bit except for the facial hair...6'1", 220lbs, and hairy! We're talking bigfoot hairy. And no, I don't shave anything for a costume.)

He has had to suffer quite a bit for his cause though.

It has almost become the symbol more than the man in a way.

Right. You and the other 100 guys who were convinced I was a woman and thus felt the need to grind all over me and then question their manhood when they realized I was a guy. Mhm.

Now the article was interesting, though the pics disgusted me. I now have new respect for Sailor Bubba as well...

But I'll continue sticking to oogling hot girls [real women, hopefully] wearing Seung Mina and Ivy Valentine costumes over any crossplayers...

Still, my preference I know isn't the law [though I admit, it'd be nice if I ruled the world lol].

My salute to you wannabe women!!! [just uh... stay out of my camera k?

]

Being banned for that I will admit is quite shitty...
