I've actually been wondering about the date auction too. I saw it at bishie (too poor to buy a said bishie) and boy were they good...remembering *girlish sigh*, but I would like to help in any way I can (possibly participate ;D)

I... um... am not running it this year, so I don't know how she's doing it. I'll talk to Kelly and see what her plans are. I didn't realize that she hadn't given me a sign-up sheet yet.

I kinda figured Kelly was running it and I'll pass the message on to Kaoru.

I was just told that to participate in the date auction we need to be cosplaying as a male character even though the kawa kon population is a mix of men and women of both gay and straight preferences. I wold like to know why we have to be a male character in order to participate in the auction? This is just a casual question.

again... really it should not matter as to male/female character, its about the fun. The thing is if your gay, then cosplaying a male character should not be a issue (who knows it may help). As for the ladies, well there is where i think the problem may be. So i think the proper way to put this is "what about the gay women?" (sorry for being blunt).

yeah lol we're talking on two different threads, but that's really where my questions lie cuz some straight guys would be more likely to bid on women and the butch lesbians are with them on that and as for the fun - well that's why I'd like to participate! It looks like fun just I can't get a male cosplay together now since I bought a Girlycard and just finished making a Teto kasane (though some Hellsing fans might call the "Girlycard" a "Boyishcard" lol)

Like I said in the other thread, it's because I'm not comfortable with it, and I have to pay for the event and take any heat from the auction results. I'm much more willing to deal with the silly reverse harem feel of auctioning men than the sex slave feel of auctioning women. At a con that's 95% women like Bishie Con, it's a different story, but at Kawa Kon, I'm not comfortable with it. I've seen it done at other cons, and the comments I've heard make that doubly true. It's just not what the Bishounen Date Auction is about.

Also, closing this thread. We don't need two threads.
