You forgot Gary Coleman. The has been celeb who hopes he’ll be noticed by hot girls taller than him. So he can lean his head against their breast and take pics with them, guy.

You also forget my best friend, sad to say. His is the “doesn’t want to the leave the con or miss any event associated with it even at the cost of a daily shower and hygiene guy.”

I would say I’m probably a mix of #11 and #7, though I’ve never actually been to a convention

How about the “slutted out cosplayer who only chose this costume because she gets all the attention but knows NOTHING about the character” lol. I’ve seen some of those!

Good one, Becky. And yeah, I know what you are talking about. Few years ago at Anime Con, I ran across a girl dressed as Lum. And her outfit was awesome. Well, what there was of it anyway. But when I asked her about the series, she knew nothing about it. Pretty much there for the attention.
And just to be fair. I am a mix of 11, 8 and a little of 7. Replace Red Bull with Amp and there you go. LOL

I not only run into them but I’m proud when someone comes up THINKING I am one of them. “How did you get talked into wearing that!?” Um… dork… I didn’t get talked… I did it myself because I love the character. DAMN that’s annoying!

How about the girl that dresses in the same cosplay costume every year for every convention, girl?
May 13th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I’m a mix of none because I haven’t seen daylight in 15 years lol Your neck looks so good right about now

Um, I have a confession to make…. I used to be in love with Wil Wheaton *egads*! So, I guess that makes me THAT girl….
