I'm 26 now and I enjoy various other things outside of anime and cosplay; some which include art and writing as well as "old-school" text-based roleplay (multi-paragraphs which were more common during yahoo's roleplay golden age haha). </p> <p>In any case I'm looking forward to meeting new people! </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/anime-v-halloweeen-tune-up-october-17th#post-1545 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:32:14 +0000 Anime V 1545@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>We had a great time at the Grand opening last month, and so everyone was pretty supportive about doing it again.

Ideally,<br /> this person lives in the bay area (where I am). This way, I can<br /> follow them from the Bay Area down to Los Angeles. It'll be a really<br /> fun profile about what cosplay means to you and the type of community<br /> around it. Please send me your name, age, and a photo of you in cosplay.</p> <p>thanks!<br /> matthew sultan<br /> <a href="mailto:msultan@current.com" rel="nofollow">msultan@current.com</a> </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/looking-for-an-enthusiastic-cosplay-model#post-734 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:31:39 +0000 brij 734@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Looking for 1 serious cosplayer to model in a photoshoot. This is open to any genre/fandom and to both guys and girls. A handmade costume is preferred over a fully store-bought one, but we want to hear from anyone who might be interested. If you are looking to have your cosplay shot by a professional in a studio setting, this is a great opportunity! You will receive copies of the high-quality final shot(s) for your own use. :)</p> <p>An official date for the shoot has not yet been set, but the tentative time-frame is going to be around the end of May/beginning of June '09 and will be taking place in downtown SF. If you are interested and believe you'll be available, please send an email with three pictures: 1.) a regular headshot, 2.) your costume, and 3.) you in your costume. These don't have to be super-amazing photos or anything like that, just something to help us in our decision.</p> <p>Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you! :)</p> <p>---------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Contact address: brij.design @ gmail.com </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/check-out-bayanime-sponsor-carrotanime-for-custom-cosplay-and-more#post-638 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:02:52 +0000 Ann 638@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>Hey everyone, we've got a new sponsor this month... the cosplay store <a href="http://carrotanime.com/store/" rel="nofollow">CarrotAnime</a>!
