a few weeks ago Ulala and i went to Nipponbashi area to see the Nipponbashi Street Festa and thus came to witness something that will not soon be forgotten; the Cos-Play Parade! Nipponbashi is the site of Den-Den Town, which is an area that specializes in cheap electronics and, thusly, videogame stores, toy stores, and of course porn stores. the Cult of the Nerd seems to transcend national boundaries and ethnicities. and as with nerds of all races and creeds and bar codes, the element of fantasy comprises a masssive part of their world. Cos-Play is short for "costume play." it ranges from the sexually deviant, to hard-core Japanese animation, to the just plain deviant. for those of you that have been hounding me for these photos (with abnormally aggressive "curiosity", i might add) i wrote a little poem for you:
i`ve been berated,
since these pics are belated.
if you like Cos-Play,
i`m sure you`ll be elated.
tah-dah! enjoy. I SAID ENJOY!!!
The Chopits: half sexy maid, half animal, all Anime.
The Dolls:
The Maid Parade (a segment within the larger Cos-Play Parade, if you can believe it):
"Holy Land" indeed....
um... is that a rabbit?
the ever loveable Baikin-Man (or in this case Baikin-Girl):
two of the way-too-many Gundam costumes we saw:
Ulala and her favorite Hiyao Miyazaki character, Porco Rosso:
from the window of where we ate lunch. notice the veritable Army of Nerds taking pictures of these girls:
what`s the hand-on-a-stick for, exactly?
not sure what this is from....
most impractical hat ever:
more Gundam-ites, not too far from the Gundam store:
i have no legs!!
but i have crazy Christmas-Eyes!
