A good deodorant should certainly be on the packing list for Fanime, but Axe smells like an asthma attack.

LOL, "Axe body spray: even angels will fall... to the ground gagging." :P

I'm totally about to start packing.... AGAIN!

Weeeee. Laundry done! I love lists.
Srsly. I tell my boyfriend NOT to use Axe, but instead to just wear his Old Spice deodorant. <3 That shit smells like heaven to me. And it comes and goes when he raises his arms. xD That way it isn't overbearing.

I'm allergic to most Axe smells T_T It's so icky.

I love Old Spice too - it's such a classic. I know a lot of guys think it smells "old" but to me it just smells comforting and timeless. It's been around forever because it's never going to go out of style!

Hello ladies. Look at your man, now back at me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. But if he stopped using ladies' scented bodywash and switched to Old Spice he could smell like he's me.

Look down, back up. Where are you? You're at Fanime with the man your man could smell like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's an oyster with two tickets to Yamaga-san's party. Look again, the tickets are now pocky! Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not like a lady. I am in line for FLOW. *old spice whistle*

Been going to Fanime Since 2008

Runewitt

last year, i had a huge old Navy ( not Old Navy) pack, with three cosplays, changes of regular clothes, hats, kit bag, a stick horse, boots, dress shoes, clothes, and more than one bottle of alcohol.

this year, one 30" suitcase, a briefcase, and a hula hoop. if it werent for my foot brace, i wouldnt need a bag that big, but i need to take it just to be safe. also, i steampunked it.

Well, I'd like to say I'm a minimalist, but I'm a cosplayer, so.....XD

Though even with that, I usually am able to limit myself to one medium-large sized suitcase and one small carry on when it comes to clothes/cosplay, plus my purse and food (read: junk food) contribution. My friends and I have been rooming together for Fanime for about 5 years, so we each have things that we bring to share to save room (mostly to avoid 4 identical copies of things we only need one of). Planning for Fanime is a year long process! XD
However, this year my careful planning may go out the window, since I am bring 3 cosplays this year instead of my usual 1 lol

I just finished packing! :D My friend who isn't even cosplaying has one x-large suitcase, and a smaller, but still large one with just shoes. SHOES. :|

Me, who is cosplaying three things, has one large suitcase with all my cosplay stuff including shoes, cosplays, wigs, accessories. Then another, smaller suitcase with clothes not for cosplaying in as well as normal shoes, and then a smaller suitcase even with all make-up, hair supplies, deodorant, clippers for wigs in case, hairsprays, hair gels, contacts, and other random stuff. THEN! I have a little stand up bag that has things like lotion and facial cleansers that have dispenser tops that I don't trust having in my suitcase in case something presses on them and they crap goes everywhere.

:D And we are staying in a house fully supplied of all bath needs we require and beds. 30 minute drive down 101 to get to the convention center, but its worth it, plus free meals!
