*sigh* Okay, I get that both the people with the cameras and the people with the costumes have places to get to, but you guys GOTTA quit stopping right in the middle of crowded hallways to take pictures! Come on, it’ll take, what, 30 seconds to walk over ot a less crowded spot?

…of course, in the time it took to type that little rant, I remembered about a dozen times I myself was guilty of this very thing. CURSES!

(Historical Notes: I’ve gotten a lot better about moving out of the way for pictures now, and even better about just not bothering with this whole picture nonsense in crowded areas.  That takes too much energy to deal with.  ANOTHER thing I’ve gotten better at is not trying really, really bad cosplay ideas.  I cannot BELIEVE that I actually tried to do The Critic after the failure that was the Lupin III costume.  Not only did this ALSO require a pretty much impossible wig situation, but this time I had to somehow fit a HAT over all of it.  AND I had messy mascara all in my facial hair, just to make things that much more unpleasant.  I have no idea why anyone would even have WANTED a picture of a costume this sloppy.)
