The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

:lol:

Actually, that was just a comment - the pic is right there in that album. I've never been to Yaoicon, nor really plan to (I'm not at all homophobic, but I don't want to give people the wrong impression about my orientation and whatnot...).

Anyways, crazy stuff. Where'd they get all those guys from, anyway? Just con attendees?

Honestly I dont know the whole 411 on them, because that was my first yaoi con. I know they were volunteers and some are from last years con. These are some high price bishounen. The guy with long pretty hair with red streaks went for $500. The one dress as Dante auctioned out for $1000. It was like doujinshi scans coming to life or something. Anneke may know better then I do about where those guys came from. Their was one Japanese who came with a feautured manga artist and was asked to be in the auction by someone. The rest I really dont know

That's... quite the auction.
Who were the buyers? Fangirls mostly, or both genders?

(/wonders if other cons have auctions for bishoujo... not that I could afford one, anyway :roll: )

Wow, if that's all it takes even I might sell for something.

Speaking of which... who gets the money...? o.o

If our hair fought, mine would win. ;p

Hey, it's the one thing I've got to be proud of.

Hah, let's not spam up India's thread though.

Not my department but I believe the money goes to setting up Yaoi-con next year.

Somtime's I've wondered how much I would make but having a girlfriend and being faithfull to that, it's not something I'll ever attempt.
