I'd love to get in contact with the other Ahris who went! If any of you see this my Facebook is Ari Chi and my tumblr is arichii.tumblr.com (I don't log on here as much so I might miss it if you message me)~

Hello! I'll be attending as Ahri C:

We do not allow props with actual blades, or which could be sharpened to have a blade.

i just bought a toy sword with a sheath for my cosplay at a chinese new year festival. it's made out of wood, but it isn't sharp at all. would it be counted as "could be sharpened" o_o?
also, if it were to be peace bonded, where/how would the wire be placed?

Hey, so I just realized that the 'swastika' on my Len cosplay is actually a Manji symbol.
They're practically the same except the Manji points to the left where as the Swastika points to the right.
Should I still do it double-sided or would it be fine as it is?

Hello!
I'm planning on cosplaying Len from Vocaloid (Karakuri Burst ver.)



Would it be appropriate to have that Nazi symbol on the arm band? I feel iffy myself about it and was thinking of drawing on an "X" instead, but on the other hand, I'm not too sure about sacrificing the accuracy of the costume... It's a conflicting decision D:

Hm.

What if you make a double-sided armband? You could have the X side out 99% of the time, but flip it for any serious/major photoshoots?

I think we've been asked before, and while we don't really like nazi armbands, we don't outright ban them, either. I'm going to check and see if I can find what we've said in the past, and I'll post with a final decision ASAP. (Thanks for taking the time to check.)

EDIT:
Here is our final opinion on the matter:

You may wear a swastika if you so choose, but please remember that it has become a negative symbol associated with terrible things. People associate these terrible things with anyone who wears the symbol. This may lead to you being resented/harassed. If you choose to wear it, be careful, and don't wear it off premises, for your own safety.

We would be happiest if you were to do the double-sided thing I suggested above, or just remove it outright except when posing for pictures.

Yeah, I understand the negatives associated with the symbol. That's why I was hesitant on having it on.
The double-sided thing is a great idea though! Thanks a lot :]

League of Legends...lol

It's a pretty small place but they have a lot of cool stuff.
I don't think it's worth a whole trip unless you're a dying BABY or h.NAOTO fan.
They also have an Angelic Pretty and BPN store somewhere else in SF [/forgot where but..]
