I went Otakon (2005) (wich is a large anime convention). I thought it
would be cool to cosplay as Raven from TeenTitans, so I made a pretty good
Raven costume. It had a long blue hooded cape that came down to my ankles,
and I wore a longsleeved black leotard and gray tights underneath that. ( i
also dyed my hair purple, had a belt, and head jewl, but thats besides the
point.) On the first day, three embarassing things happened. I was
getting out of my mom's friend's car, and the clasp that held my cape
together came off while we were waiting in line. This would have been
fine, except for the fact that my cape fell down off my shoulders and I was
standing there(outside!) in only a leotard and semi-sheer tights. I was
freaking out, hoping that no one had seen the cape slip. The second thing
happened when we got inside. I walked up to the counter to get my
registration badge, when the volunteer behind the counter said "I'm
blackfire!" Unfortuantley I only heard "Blackfire!", so I thought she had
made a mistake about my character. I said "No..i'm Raven" and then she
said "No, I'M Blackfire" and I was like "oh." Then, she asked me to pick a
number. I blurted out "11!", because I didn't know what it was for. Then,
I looked down at the counter and realized that the numbers were for the
pictures on the registration badges. "11" turned out to be a picture of
some Gundam charaters, and I really don't like the Gundam series. So she
let me pick another one. I was really embarrased. |
