Miscellany and Musings

missyquill is my best friend and I was telling her that I was trying to get Jeremy Inman to come to the next anime con here in Louisville, because he does the voice for Braeda and I was going to pay him to do a voicemail message for me.  Here's where our conversation went XD

( this single best conversation I've ever had about Madame Chris and Braeda XD )

I updated the photos again.  Here's a linky!


This video was from the 15th during Vic's Q&A panel, and because I'm such a huge Star Wars nerd, I had to film and share this.  I also made the tryouts for Greggo's Game show: Chain Reaction, and I got to sit next to Vic there!  The video hasn't posted for that yet, but if you haven't seen any of Greggo's shows, go check them out, they're awesome and fun and you get prizes!  I didn't win the round, but I got a Panty and Stocking wallet as a consolation prize!  I have more videos but youtube takes for fucking ever for me to upload (this video took over an HOUR to upload....  Anyways, I had a great time and I'm so sad to go back to work tomorrow because most of the awesome people I met were not from Louisville :(  The Roy I met, she and her 'Ed' friend said they'd gathered up a few friends over the net to almost do a fullcast LARP of FMA, and they added me to their stable. 

Things I learned: a comfy pair of shoes is a must, even if they don't exactly go with your cosplay.  Speaking of cosplay, it's nice to have more than 1 so if the 1st one gets dirty you've got another.  In my case, it wasn't just that the fur on my coat got dirty, but also the spanx I had on for hours and hours was uncomfrotable as hell and made it hard to go pee.  Bringing snacks is a must!  I had like zero time between panels, so the first night I ate a bag of combos throughout the night and brought those crystal light water bottle koolaid packets for my drinking jug.  The second day, I bought a big pack of peanut butter crackers from the dollar store and that was all I ate apart from breakfast and dinner (which was White Castle... it was the only thing within walking distance and I had a great parking spot I didn't wanna give up!).  Oh, also bring a working pen.  Never know when you'll need that.  And I'm glad I brought my camera charger too because I ran out of juice midway through.  While sittig in a panel I was able to recharge the battery and not miss anything. 

Oh, and I can't cosplay as Madame again for a long while because....
I cut Madame's Mane off.  Too damn long and too damn hot.  Sorry Chris, but it'll be grown out plenty for next year!!! (but I'm totally going as Kaede from InuYasha next year)

So Madame Christmas!  I can't remember how I got to thinking about her, or her name in general, but I was struck with understanding and I just felt like I'd figured out some great mystery afterward!

CHRIS MUStang
CHRISMUS=phonetic spelling of CHRISTMAS

Madame CHRISTMAS actually = Madame CHRIS MUS(tang)

The addition of her title only reinforces in my mind that she really is a whore and not a hostess club owner, although admittedly I don't know anything about hostess clubs in Japan, so maybe they have the same moniker? idk.  At any rate, in 1910's there was no such thing, only brothels.  And that's my head canon and I'm sticking to it!

Etymology for the win!? I think so!
