I always considered myself to be fairly prepared for the convention scene once I started taking cosplaying seriously, but it wasn't until Colossalcon that I really adopted the title of 'con-mom, and this past Otakon really cemented it'. What did I do to deserve this? WELL... if not for the fact that I basically bring my ENTIRE craft room with me to cons, you know - glue sticks, glue gun, safety pins, straightener, hairspray, makeup, baby powder, superglue, needle, thread, velcro... and the list goes on - then perhaps it's the fact that I am constantly taking care of everyone else.
At Otakon, I was the last person ready to leave - and people ended up waiting on me - because I was busy getting everyone else ready. I am by no means complaining about this - it's in my nature to help others and I really don't mind - but I was styling wigs and fixing makeup and putting on lashes and painting nails and adjusting armor and yada-yada-yada for hours while I was trying to piece together my cosplay in the meantime! I even con-crunch WHEN I FINISHED MY COSPLAY A WEEK BEFORE THE CON. Tell me how that works. Ha. Every night of Otakon, I was up late helping everyone finish cosplays - we were making props and styling wigs and painting. My first con where I was NOT con-crunching my cosplay... I was still freakin' con crunching. So, yeah.. I'm a con-mom. I'm 100% con-mom and I wouldn't have it any other way.
