My first Comicon.
Or anime con, really. Same concept.
I've always enjoyed the whole culture of anime. I'm obsessed; an otaku. But who wouldn't love it? There's something about slipping into another skin that brings out the prowl in me. My confidence peaks knowing that I can hide behind another identity. Real Me is cute. Otaku Me is sexy. Real Me doesn't say how she feels. Otaku Me can talk shit like the Jersey Girl I am.
Otaku Me is...hot.
I've dressed up for many events but the years crept up on me, I hit 29 and somehow I managed not to go to any cons. This year would be different. So I bought some fur, made a wig and dressed up in a classic Felicia costume.
I know. Amateur. At cons there are literally thousands of women dressed up in tiny little getups but I love catwomen and the summer sun brought the Baltimore temperature up to a humid 97 degrees and I really wasn't in the mood for the whole full-body Mystogan cape and ninja getup.
I took one last look in the three-way mirror before heading out. Large locks of loose cerulean blue curls swept down my shoulders, just touching the small of my back. My mane-like hair was partly contained by a white headband with large white furry cat ears. While most of my hair rolled down my back, a long truss was left as a bang to cover my right eye, Jessica Rabbit style.
Except Jessica Rabbit had nothing on me.
This wasn't some cheap furry gogo costume. This was movie quality.
What little of my body that was covered, was covered in white fur. An almost collar-like fur choker fit snug around my neck. Bare shoulders exposed, my arms were covered in white fur. Like a pair of long gloves and boots, my feet and hands wore oversized paws with large sharp pink claws (I hoped security wouldn't mind). While most of my body was exposed, a strip of white fur clung to my back and wrapped around just covering my nipples never quite meeting at the middle. The bottoms -or underwear- ran from the top of my curvy hips and met to form a "V" at my vulva and a thong in the back. Just below my navel, began another "V". The fur crept up my toned stomach to the beginning of my ribs changing direction and curving toward each other almost achieving a diamond shape just beneath my breasts, but once again, never quite meeting each other in the middle. My long tail took a bit of ingenuity but I managed to create it so it moved with my subtle movements.
Damn I looked good.
After a brief battle as to where to keep my wallet, I was finally ready to hit the streets.
As I stepped into character and out of the elevator, the elevator door across from mine opened. Off of it came a man dressed as one of my favorite characters from a particular show. He had short dark spikey hair with long bangs that swooped over his eyes and rested just above his nose. A large black (faux) tattoo covered his exposed right pectoral. A long silver chain hung off of his neck muscles and swept the top of his lean, but very distinct, eight-pack.
I'm pretty sure I'd never even seen an eight-pack until then.
Dirty looking gauze bandages were wrapped around each of his biceps, emphasizing his round muscular shoulders. On top of his shoulders he held a fairly large -faux ice- cannon as big as him. His faded black jeans were barely held up by a brown leather belt which sat just below his defined pelvic muscles pointing to exactly where I wanted to be.
Damn he looked good.
