COSPLAY!!!

Yes, Cora, get excited.

I went to a cosplay fiesta in the Buenos Aires Japanese garden.

For those who don't know, Cosplay is technically a Japanese derived from the forced cross-breeding of costume and play that results in a wonky little baby word that they parent words are really quite unsure what to do with.
Observe:
Generally speaking, people pick a character from an anime show or videogame and try their damndest to look just like them. It was pretty much like the above picture all over this rather large park. People in outrageous costume, general uncertainty when it came to gender. That one with the pink hair is male, for instance.

It's has an internet reputation of being hyper-dorky. This is baroque dork. And, of course, like all things in the world, it has an internet fetish life, which is roundly ridiculed by humor website all over the web.


The following picture really sums it up for me:

On the right is the good of Cosplay and on the left is the... something.

I went there actually to see my friend Silia, who was to play the Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland) in some theater they were doing.

Yes, Silia (with the blue hair) is quite strange. I'm shit with names so I can't tell you the name of the girl on the right, but her red hair is a nice contrast, don't you agree?

Fans of the series will enjoy:

That was really directed at Ian and Co. if they're tuning in. That's a rather life-like Naruto image, a the main character from a series of the same name.

There were some high quality costumes running around. People started freaking out when this little guy showed up:
Apparently from Kingdom Hearts. And quite popular.

I think that's all for now. Photos from gaymusicvideodanceathon at a later date. They're on my facebook for any interested parties.

I don't understand my shout out!!!
Looks like there were some hott chicks (?) there though.
and some fuggo's.
Also I hate it when I recognize anime, it makes me feel dirty.
But I recognized the Naruto and the Kingdom of Hearts dude....
Also Becca now has your winter coat, we discussed how ridiculously heavy it is.
We aren't sure we would be able to walk well with it on.
Good thing you are large.

Hmm, I suppose I just assumed you were into cosplay on account that it is from japan and has some weird and sick sexual component. My mistake.
Cora, what were you doing with Nathan's coat on? It's AUGUST!

did you two both put it on? I have this extremely amusing mental image of you with Becca on your shoulders wearing Nathan's coat and walking down College Ave.

Oh fuck Nathan... I can't belive YOU were supporting cosplay. I troll those people irl, seriously. I was protesting in downtown Chicago and we Rickrolled/ trolled a group of cosplayers at a convention until they cried. PICTURE RELATED.

This is Nathan Lane, your funky-fresh maniacal-magical plane-hopping, jaw-dropping world-traveler extraordinaire servin' it to you fresh from the high-rises of Buenos Aires. This just in from the scene, cats. The good people of this fair land have taken to the balconies, banging pots and pans to air some political sentiment, taken the fight to the roofs, if you will. You heard me right. Argentina's cacerolazo has reared its ferrous head and breathed some fire into the political scene. In the midst of ongoing domestic agro-political crisis, an important vote was on the precipice of stalling when the people took up a fashionable tradition and stood on their balconies and banged pots and pans. The fence-sitting senator quickly decided voted in favor of the legislation. The most famous of these cacerolazos ended in the resignation of the then-president, so take it seriously, friends. I don't wanna give the impression that the country is in revolt around me, but there are gathe

Cumbia Villera Part I

Hey Kiddies, I’m back, connecting local pizzeria el continental, which I’m told is a pizzeria buena buena buena. I’ve ordered a pizza fugazzetta rellena con queso cremoso, two pieces of fainá and a glass of moscato, a sweet wine which usually accompanies such things. There’ve been some major changes in my life. I cut my hair, for instance. I got a mullet. Soon this will be a dread mullet. I think that you’ve all had sufficient warning. It will be a dreadmullet, once I’ve accumulated the sufficient length. I’m almost done with all my papers and finals and crap, meaning that here comes the part of supplying my own diversion in or out of Buenos Aires. I’m planning on mostly out. The only thing keeping me in town is my bands performances on Sundays of every week. I’ve had better luck with las chicas outside of town anyway. I guess my reputation gets around. ;-) And finally, the achievement of the hour, my first ridiculous story accumulated in Spanish and told in Spanish. It’s a little some
