Supporting Working Artists: Issue #2
how does this work?
Take a look at the artists featured below, add this journal to your favourites and leave a comment on this journal explaining who you would pick if you won, and why. On May 2nd a winner will randomly be picked. You will then be prompted to discuss what you would like from the artist you chose. Now of course there are limits to this, as you will see below, the artists explain what you could win from them, so you must carefully read that. The Community Relations team will be paying for the artwork you end up deciding on and receiving. So your favourite artist will be getting paid for their work, as they should. Indeed, this

Here I am at my table at chibi chibi con, my eyes are closed haha:
Getting ready for con tips:
I have been doing maybe 2 or 3 cons a year for 4 years. I only ever do cons that I can drive to in 3 or less hours, but in the future I will branch out more :)
I have cosplayed behind my booth before but I would not recommend it unless it is a comfy cosplay. You will be sitting for so long most people will not get to see the whole cosplay, and your cosplay will start to feel annoying and hot ;o; I wear a t shirt and l

Sex, Nudity, and ... Shame?
I just wanted to take a moment and talk about something that has been bothering me for a VERY long time: shame, specifically when it is associated with sexuality and nudity.
My confusion and frustration really started back in February of 2004 with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. For about half a second, Janet Jackson's right breast was exposed on LIVE television for the world to see during the Super Bowl XXXVIII Half-Time Show. I remember seeing it and thinking it was funny and that it was all just a part of the act. I also remember thinking she had on a pasty (similar to the one Lil' Kim wore to the 1999 MTV VMAs: Shown Here) so it was
