To all who have sent messages asking if I ever did cosplay:
We didn’t call it ‘cosplay’ back then, but yes, I did. Once. Then I got banned from ever doing it again.
#remember when cons starting posting rules that you actually had to wear clothing to be in the costume competition? #who says green paint isn’t a costume? #dammit, it was the 70s lighten up #George thought it was hilarious and laughed so hard we got in trouble for noise #that quote that circulated for a few years “I’m not giving you my phone number I just want you to carry me around on a platter”? #ok so maybe that came from that evening #or maybe that was just a rumor who can say #hotel security did carry me around on a sheet of plywood though #because there was a sign asking people not to walk naked from the pool through the lobby #did I mention it was the 70s? #ok no naked walking in the lobby #so I didn’t walk #I might have just outed myself because this was a wee bit infamous for a time #I probably should not be posting this #but honestly we were adults having fun and it was actually very innocent #just a little naked #and don’t forget that damn green paint #my kids are going to have a fit when they hear I posted this #lighten up kids it was the 70s
