Re: What made you feel giddy today?
Okay, not today, but since the hotel I was at had sucktacular internet access and I had no means of getting on here, just have to settle for a recap.
Cosplay.
Burlesque.
Friend and I went to the show at Anime Boston and I about shouted myself hoarse hooting and hollering for the dancers, especially the Irvine Kinneas that had me biting my knuckles and nearly sliding out of my chair. *Squees*
It was my favorite event at the con, by far, and it *was* funner than all hell. They opened with the opening song from Burlesque. There were plenty of strip-to-skivvies dances (Irvine, Lulu, Nurse Joy, Ichigo, Faye Valentine, the guy from Darker than Black, a Beyblade charrie, Poison Ivy) and then there were "skit" dances: Rictor Belmont and his whips, a Ponia and Team Rocket (with more whips), Cruela DeVille vamping it to "One way or another," a Fan Dance, a group dance with the Sucker Punch girls, then BabyDoll getting her own dance, and a couple comedy dances with the Test Subject from Portal and a Bubble Bobble balloon pop.
And then...the next day...I managed to get a picture with Irvine. Gnee!
