Following my little adventure the evening before (https://www.reddit.com/r/gonewildstories/comments/4aabfa/leaving_the_hotel_room_door_ajar_fm/), it was time for another day at the convention and this time me and my friend Gemma were wearing matching cosplay outfits. I was dressed as Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier, one of my favourite outfits consisting of a really cute, girly top, frilly skirt and knee-high socks with red shoes featuring slightly high heels. My friend was wearing a similar alternate version of this outfit that was mostly the same in its overall look but dark blue and cream compared to my green and orange.
The day was going as these things tend to at conventions – lots of walking, lots of stopping to photos, lots of finding excuses to sit down and take a break (especially as my friend was a little more tired than me having gone out the night before). Sitting down with a drink and a relatively late lunch, we were interrupted by a man sliding out the chair opposite us and sitting down with a “Hey ladies”. We shot one another a look at this – for some reason two girls together with no guys around generates way more attention from guys wanting to try out chat-up lines than when I’m alone, perhaps they see it as a higher chance of success?
