Wow... that would be utterly embarrassing for me at the time. And hilarious in retrospect.
XD
But seriously, they should have had a sign or something...?

Well, in their defense it's pretty much assumed anyone in costume posing like that is probably doing it for photos. And I'm sure my brother knew. He's kind of rascally that way.

That's true.
What a rascal! That is funny. "Tell me I'm pretty!" X3

Uh... gosh you're pretty? o.o

For some reason, that just made me think of an episode of the fairly oddparents... O.o

Yay! You got the reference!

*gift poof*

.. Lol.
I've seen this happen before XD

AHAHAHA
Awesome
embarassing moment, I guess

they look so dead in the first panel ;;

Embarrassing for them? Maybe a little awkward. But you have to expect these kind of people at anime conventions.

For my brother it was all for laughs anyway.

That's really very cute ^.^

Ignorance is bliss eh?

Hahah oh lulz cosplayers and their photoshots
"IT HAS TO LOOK JUST LIKE THE ANIME! EVEN IF LOOKS COMPLETELY STUPID TO DO IRL!!!!!!!"

That is something, Me and my friends would do just for kicks XD Glad were not the only weird ones.

I like his Jigen beard. xD

It looked Amish irl. I just couldn't properly draw it. I AM SO GLAD HE GOT RID OF IT.

HE GOT RID OF IT? YOU DID NOT TELL ME THIS.

Oh yes. He did. Thank GOODNESS.

o.o
and I missed otakon 08

o_____o

xD That's awesome.

My friends were there. I was supposed to be >_< Only live 20 minutes away.

a photoshoot?.....<< thats the wierd part to me. I would have totally joined in teh laying on teh floor bit.

Same. i love laying on floors. Lets you look at things in whole new ways. I did it in the common area at my high school and found out that the "tented" windows (as in they are shaped like a triangular prism thing) reflect the horizon if you lay down and look up at them. i could spot so many town landmarks... it was awesome... :3

Other people thought I was crazy... didn't help when I started doing the backstroke across the floor. >.>

I love your brother in a way being friends with him would be awesome XD

Oh you're pretty...

we're all pretty

are we? D:>

and randomness is fun

Tell your brother that his beard is awesome. Of course, it's hard for a beard not to be awesome, but the Lincoln-style is just superior to all other beards.

XD This is hilarious.

I think I saw this happen, actually. Or at least I saw that group and the guy next to them (who I guess is your brother)

X3 WEIRD

Bwehehehe

I WAS TOTALLY THERE

Just not there, there. Otakon 08 rocked, did you see the Liger cosplayer?

Man, I wish I had seen this.

I had quite a few photos taken of me. At least one in front of Longcat.

Even though we both went, we each went in our own groups, so I got to see the photos of this happening after the fact.

Where was this? Was this in the room with those fountains?

I think so.

Man, that place was almost always packed.

I mean, goddamn. It's the photo-op corner.

Photoshoots in public = invitation for teh weirds.
