Fandom Burlesque and Other Happenings

 

     There are thousands of people here at C2E2 this weekend. Hundreds of booths. And all of those folks are catering to all kinds of tastes, even those that may be slightly...unconventional. Towards that goal, Gorilla Tango Burlesque(Booth 584) exists to provide "Provacative Parody for the Discerning Nerd". At their booth they're selling prints of different posters for $5 each. Additionally, they're talking about their upcoming shows, which are titled:

• Boobs on Endor(Star Wars)
• Game of Thongs(Game of Thrones)
• A Nude Hope(Star Wars)
• 007 in Thunderballs(James Bond)
• Holy Bouncing Boobies(Batman)

     But there's more going on here than just that, upstairs there is a whole Fan Village, where attendees can chill out(some of them even on Yogibo bean bag chairs, which brand themselves as the "Next Generation of bean bag furniture[and can be found at Booth 236]), recharge, commune with other fans, and even check out the local chapters of both the 501st Legion and the Rebel Legion. Right next door to the Fan Village is the Cospitality Lounge, where cosplayers of all types can hang out, change, meet up, and get some last-minute fixes on their outfits.

     On the way up to the Fan Village, I walked through the atrium, which is this area:

 

     Needless to say, it was pretty crazy. One thing that was going on, were 2 Stormtroopers and an Imperial Officer holding signs and protesting, with such slogans as "Dude She's Your Sister", "Clone More Chicks", and "Support Short Trooper Equality". Always fun times at C2E2!

 

     Cosplay Tracker: Another Agent Carter(except this time with her roommate from the Agent Carter TV Show), several Wonder Women, several Ghostbusters, Willy Wonka, a Cheeseburger, several characters from Halo, and Mickey Mouse himself.
