Kleefeld's Fanthropology #10: An Interview America's Greatest Otaku, Pt. 2
Posted 5/17/13 5:17 pm EST by MTV Geek in Comic Books, Cosplay, Costumes
By Sean Kleefeld
In the summer of 2010, Tokyopop founder Stu Levy took a cast of six American otaku and a film crew in order to explore otaku culture in the continental U.S. and find "America's Greatest Otaku." Otaku is a Japanese word used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime and manga. Historically, it’s had a relatively negative connotation, but somewhat in tandem with the acceptance of “geek culture” here in the United States, being an otaku has become more acceptable. Christopher Wanamaker was the winner named as America’s Greatest Otaku, and is founder and president of the DC Anime Club.

Posted 10/22/12 12:11 pm EST by Valerie Gallaher in Cosplay, Costumes, Halloween
The Letter Of The Day is "S," boys and girls. S, for "Sesame Street". And "sue."
How the online costume company Yandy.com thought they were going to get away with such numbers as "Sexy Big Bird," "Sexy Cookie Monster," and the perennial favorite "Sexy Bert and Ernie" -- and not get at least a "cease and desist" -- was beyond my comprehension.
