Quick heads up for anyone nearby!!!

• 15 + people have come forward and spoken out that she has done this to them • when confronted with the facts and even the threat of police, she said they were simply rumours • there are multiple people defending her and her actions despite them being illegal • three police have contacted me stating that she could be charged if the victims were to come forward • when confronted she resorts to blocking people or denying everything even when faced with proof

If you ever want to talk to people at a con but are too worried that you'll sound like an idiot, I'd like to tell you to just talk to them. At Gridlock 2, I was too afraid to talk to people and everyone thought I was intimidating and/or hated them. So learn from my stupidity, talk to people. Do the thing. #amessagefromyourneighborhoodweirdo

Hopping up on my soap box for a second....

Quick PSA for Otakon (and conventions in general):

 If someone does not want to be touched, do not fucking touch them!  Seriously if someone is making you uncomfortable in any way, go find a staff member and let them know.

Also, if you get interviewed by someone and it seems incredibly sexist or inappropriate in any way, just walk away.  Seriously.  Who cares if it ruins their video?  It's probably best it doesn't make it on to YouTube.

I know this sounds tired and clichéd and all that jazz, but it keeps being a problem and I don't want anyone going to a convention (or just being themselves in real life) to feel unsafe or threatened.  We are a community and should make others feel welcomed and safe, not other way around.

With that, have a good and safe convention and I will see you lovelies there.

A PSA TO HETALIANS

I just have to get this out there cause it happened to me and my friend more than once

When you see an Italy, Romano, Canada and any other character with a curl or whatever at a con

PLEASE DO NOT PULL IT WITHOUT PERMISSION

It's really not that hard okay. You're not being funny, you're just messing up the wig. Trust me.

Most curls are made out of wire and when you touch it or pull it it will bend out of place so please don't touch it without asking!

Also it's hard to get the curls to stay on the wig and I personally just have mine bobby pinned to my head and it's a pain to get on.

And not just Hetalia cosplayers but just all cosplayers in gerneral okay

Don't touch the wigs

Dont touch the cosplay

YOU SHOULDN'T BE TOUCHING ANYBODY WITHOUT PERMISSION

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS IN COSPLAY DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TOUCH THEM

Thank you.

Photographers for cosplayers to avoid.

Ok so here's two photographers for cosplayers to avoid. I'm not saying they're bad people, but they made me feel uncomfortable.  This one man (I never got his name.) He's pretty overweight, pretty tall, light skinned African American man. I've had the displeasure of running into him twice. He has a nice Nikon? camera and he usually asks others around to take photos. He asked to pick me up and then asked for email, I got really bad vibes from him.  Another man, his name is Paul, he's bald, Caucasian, wears his button up shirt open, and wears a necklace with a weird crystal on it. He invaded my personal space, flirted with me, and just said douchy things like how he knew Nine Inch Nails, trying to impress me or some BS. You can see pictures of him at anotherhollywood.com  That's it. I'll add more if I ever run into any, hopefully not.
