Unfortunately, I left my camera at home waaaaay back up north of San Jose and I was not able to take photos to my hearts content. I'm left gleaning what others have put up.

If anyone has any photos of Calintz or any of the crew from Magna Carta, Zero from Vampire Knight, or Elysium (the OC Goth Loli Catboy see sig), that one green haired girl from Bible Black, Shiki, or the best damn tall Kurosaki from Bleach carrying a Kon backpack, could you please alert me? (Sorry I know it's a lot but, not one of our crew brought a digital camera!)

Thank you very much everyone! Fanime 07 has been a really great year!

Check BunofGovt's link in the Cosplay pictures section, there should be several (she still has a lot more to upload though), heck, I should know, I posed with you. :D Which, by the way, thanks for posing with me, that was a lot of fun. Also once firegoddessnerys gets her photos off her camera I know there are some there too. I'll let you know once she's got her photos up. I know I got a picture of you as Calintz by the fountains. I had to borrow both of their cameras for I didn't have one. *sighs*

Yup I swiped those photos already. :3 About taking photos with you.  No, thank you for taking photos with ME!

- I wish I attended the Damn You Internets panel.
- I wish that I had not missed the Vampire Knight gathering.
- I wish that I had apologized to a certain someone for going off on him. (you know who you are pink ninja.)

- I wish I brought my Camera! (yeah I left it in my car at the airport....)

Awe what the heck. I'll come if you'll have me. I don't think I'm being dragged to any parties at that time. =)

gah you're hella cute!

You did fine!

Now I regret not getting an anime portrait of myself!

My 2006 BAD Report:

Face is now messed up from Yaoi Pictionary

Oh well, there is always AX. This time, I won't plan to do anything.

What happened to your face at yaoi pictionary?

This year was my first year doing gothic lolita

Which one were you? I'm the dude in the maroon dress with cat ears!

The only bad thing that happned to me was that the shoes I was wearing for my cosplay gave me a huge blister on the bottom of my right foot. I spent 2 days limping around the con.

Other than that it was awesome.

Come to think of it, I had the same problem. My boots were used for both my male and my crossplay outfit. BOY HOWDY!!! does the back of my foot hurt. Ya'know, right above your heel where your tendon is? Rubbed off raw. I know now that I'll be getting one of those blister pads that prevent that kind of stuff...

I'm afraid I'm one of the unlucky people whose digital camera batteries died during the con. Luckily, I only had to wait 2 hours for it to fully charge again!

The elevator lobby on the 2nd floor of the hilton smelled like dirty sock and ass by the 3rd day. I almost vomited...

Other than that...being groped up the wazzuu by rabid fangirls at the yaoi bingo/pictionary... but that was kinda fun!

Well I already have people who are willing to apply my makeup....I just need the producsts themselves ^^;;

Hook a white brotha up! I got stuff! Hell, I'll BUY stuff. I'll even share with you! Quite literally, money kinda of DOES grow on trees. Be a pal? Me any my buddy are also crossplaying as gothic loli.

omg, can I hug you? XDDD Crossplaying lolis make me happy. ^^

If you're a girl....you can hug me anytime really. If you're a guy, then ask first ^^;

If you're wearing a 'Glomp Me' shirt, you're fair game to everything. Girls, guys, the wall and some wooden paddles that read YOAI.

Watch out! ><;;

Oh yeah, makeup! I'm not very good at makeup (since I'm a guy) and gothic makeup to boot. Would it be ok to hire a helping hand? I'd be willing to pay like, 25 bucks per application for me and my buddy. Or pay for a meal at one of the hotel restaurants for you and a friend. This makeup thing is one thing I totally forgot. I had my Aunt come over for a makeup session on Tuesday to get an idea of what I would look like with makeup, but I totally zoned out that I would have to apply it!
I'm looking for somone that could help with gothic style makeup.

So, anyone interested in helping out two guys?

Hmm... I'm hosting the Guilty Gear gathering on Saturday afternoon, but I can make the sunday gathering. I'll be sure to bring snacks~

I'll probably wear one of my black/white lolita outfits, I'm in love with the colors and it looks so classic. : ) I guess people think it's overdone now? Oh well, I promise my outfit won't disappoint, even if the colors are boring. : D

Should I bring my vioin to play for all the elegant people I'll be gathering with?

WOOT! I got backup!

Ack! Just a little black and white is ok...right?

Although I'm a noob at the gothic thing (it's just for fun, right?) I don't want to go and get talked down because I wore a little bit of 'traditional colors' I guess. (would they even be considered tradition?)

I'm tired of black and white Goth-Loli.  It's not very tasteful use of black and white, either.  No eye for proportion.  No eye for taking advantage of textures.  I see the theming on really good cosplayers.  Much of it is not stylistic at all.  Also, it's a little undermining of the 'progressiveness' of nurturing a subculture.  Check out FUDGE for what's new in that scene.  I've seen people in EGL scene refer to Western clothing of the Industrial Revolution era, for peacoats and felts and other cuts and textures.

Actually, there are lots of sources for Goth-Loli inspiration.  Just yesterday I was at Santana Row for a fashion show featuring designs from all the boutiques in the shopping center.  The MC was actually wearing this simple, no frills dress with a boat neck for the front, and v opening in the back.  Crushed fabric, cool grey, with a big bow in the back.  Simple, classic, and completely translatable to the Elegant GL style.  It really just depends on the scene where the clothing will appear that determines what people say about it.

So really, I urge the creatives out there to make more than a statement--make an impressive one.

I hope this is a general statement! As black and white seem to be the standard colors for goth. I'm not into the goth thing but that's my observation. As a side note, there will be no black and white in my costume. Well, the bows are black and the lace is white, but the main color, what the dress is made out of, is RED!

I mean, how many guys have you seen go gothic loli? I've not seen too many either here in Seattle or at San Jose cons.

You probably don't even notice the REALLY good crossplayers because you just asume they are the gender they're dressing up as.

I actually remember that guy on the far left of the first photo. I was there with him at the Hot Yaoi thing last year and a bunch of other yaoi guys.

The tea party thing looks good. I'll be there on Sunday since we're just taking photos on Saturday.

His newfound plot to increase his post count from 14-15!!!

I'm up for meeting some crossplayers out there if anyone's up for it.
I'd really like to expand my circle of people to hang out with while I'm down there at the con. My best bud and I will usually hang out together. He's 6'4" and I'm 5'9" so we're not unnoticable.

YAR! I already got people lined up to take my picture! This was the whole idea! Last year I went as a newbie. Ya'know, the guy wearing the black glomp me shirt? Yeah I got gomped. But who took my picture? Pfft NO ONE! Of course who'd take a picture of random anime fan at super anime con? Not me!

The whole story about how me and my best buddy decided to go gothloli can be read in the Gothic Loli topic. It's very touching!

Elysium.
