We Hit The LVL UP Expo In Vegas!

By -
As we are STILL sorting through CES video (our poor geriatric computers) we hit the LVL UP Expo today in sunny, but chilli, Las Vegas! We got to chat to some cosplay favorites like Constantine In Tokyo, Nicole Marie Jean, Spencer Doe and Ani-Mia as well as a new one, Amanda K! Also, due to the costume Kristen Hughey was wearing, it wasn't "conductive" to talking, so we will follow up via email interview with her!

Let me say this, EVERY cosplayer we have talked to have been AWESOME, and these gals and guy were no exception. They were chatty, smiling, happy and well, enjoyed The Geeky Guru's professionalism!

Also, to all the Vegas locals running booths.... you guys were fantastic. It was great to see that despite the Vegas stereotypes (gambling and hookers) we do have a great gaming and anime community!

A few pics have already hit Kaiju's twitter account, but official pics and interviews will start flowing in soon! Until then........uh........ rock on?!

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

By -

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added
