I bought really cheap white clothes from Spirit the day after Halloween (which I know isn't really doable now but...)
And if needed to be gray, I was just going to put it in very watered down black dye, and just soak it for a SHORT time, checking until it is the right color gray.

I don't know the brand, but they are just thin bicep-long gloves.
Though I'm keeping them white.

Having gone the rout of body paint, let me just say arm socks are the way to go.
Not having to worry about rubbing off on people is a blessing.
And also being able to hug people is awesome.

But I agree with everything you're saying! I hope the negative feedback for some fandoms can stop. I've noticed similar feelings towards MLP and such and it's sad because there is clearly a REASON why so many people flock to it. And most people who have a negative view of it haven't even taken the time to read or watch it. It's kind of just the "hate it because it's popular" thing.

My friend and I would be willing to help out with this meet! Though we are planning to go to the Black and White ball, and I can't remember what time it is at. And we would need time to be able to go and change before. But I'm sure we can be Roll Call assistants. c:

This is one of those things that we don't have a rule explicitly against, but we do not like.

In the past, we have allowed people to use them as props CONDITIONALLY.
- You are NOT to use them to gain the preferred treatment given to handicapped persons. (Priority seating, etc.)
- You are NOT to use them in crowded venues/rooms. (Such as Dealer's, Music Fest, Dance, etc.)
- You are to give priority for elevators and the like to persons who are actually handicapped.
- If asked, you will be honest about your able-bodied-ness.
- You understand that this is conditional, and the policy may change at any time.

I completely understand. I will not be using the wheelchair as anything other than a prop to my cosplay and will not be using it in any way that will give me benefits or any sort of special treatment. When I purchased the wheelchair, I made sure to let the seller know I was not IN NEED of a wheelchair. And did not want to be given discounts or special prices with that knowledge. And I do not plan on bringing it into areas where it would be a hindrance to anyone. And if it ends up being more of a hassle than it's worth, I will bring it back to the hotel and leave it there.

I would love to be able to use it, because I have a lot of ideas about decoration to it, but first and foremost I want to follow con rules. And if there is a rule against the use of it, I'd prefer to know before than at the con.

Hello! I have a question which I'm not sure if was ever asked, or had to be addressed but: My cosplay character is in a wheelchair. And I have purchased a wheelchair for the cosplay. I, myself, am not in need of one and can walk fine without one. Would this be an acceptable "prop" or portion of my cosplay? I do have a friend going with me, since the wheelchair does limit my mobility, and she will be able to be there to push and assist me if I run into any trouble.

I probably should have asked before purchasing it, but I do want to make sure I can use it before I begin to decorate it.
