Sigh. Sometimes it isn't so fun.

We had to disqualify an entry in the Anime Los Angeles 2007 Masquerade because one of the presenters lied to the green-room staff about having a membership.

Sigh. I just don't understand this sort of behavior.

Bleh. This is what gives cosplayers a bad name. I can see showing up to a convention, not attending any events, and just getting your pic taken without a badge or seeing friends. But competing in an official event NEEDS a badge. Even if I don't think the convention has worth, I will buy a badge to compete. It's just the right thing to do. :/

It's not fair to her partners in the entry either. Now they, who HAD badges and apparently weren't informed of her little plan, are out an award too. Why would someone do this to her friends?? *REALLY* not thinking, looks like she was.....

Yeah, I feel bad for the girls who were following the rules.

I can't say it's not fair. The rules are the rules, and sometimes "fair" doesn't equal "pleasant."

I will say it wasn't nice of her to put her friends in such a position.
