Crimotaku Journal: Bonnie Babes Kidfest 2010
Date: 21st March 2010
Event: Bonnie Babes Kidfest 2010
Location: Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
Venue: Hobart Botanical Gardens
Heroes 4 Kids (Site/Facebook) was asked to attend for this event, so i was asked to tag along again to escort Darth Vader! This is a fund raising event. To me, conventions is not the only place i can suit up, but i would not mind 501st Legion/Anime Conventions/Western Sci Fic Conventions/Fund Raisers as well! As long as one condition applies .. the people there have the same interests/goals as me =D
Making kids laugh, smile ... and cry .. is part of the bonus too =3

Heroes 4 Kids gave me a map layout of the Botanical Gardens with 2 free volunteer passes for me and my photographer XD
Like all costumers and cosplayers, H4K carries their own self-made costumes wherever they are called to =3
My armor wasnt stable to be dismantled that day due to sensitive glued areas .. so my car was filled with armor pieces. Suited up from the car and decided to take a stroll, keeping my identity a mystery!
Preparing the unexpected did not prepare me for this. I found out there were cameramen with video cameras from a certain network! Does that mean i would be on the papers or TV?
Passing the gates, back to my mischief to those with smiling faces!
H4K's costumers are made out of Batman, Spider-Man, Darth Vader & the Joker. But Batman could not show today. I have seen some of their blueprints for newer costumes, and i was amazed at their "Hot Rod" colored armor schematics! Wonder who would that be? :)
Like always, this cheerful otaku trooper puts fear into some hearts ..
Lord Vader had his fair share of fear as well!
Spidey, the goodie goodie web slinger always so good with children!
Smiles like these always remind me why i armor up! =3
OMG Duckies! Unlike Malaysian animals, they show no fear to people .. even those that look like a Stormtrooper!
Lord Vader is a very fatherly figure >.< Attracting young fans all over the place
Spidey .. meet Spidey of the Future!
The Joker making sure everyone has their smiles .. why .. so .. serious?!
Spidey eventually striked fear into that one. Always knew Spidey was a menace!
Teaching the next generation the true might of the Empire!
This guy was a Jedi fan! Had a small fight scene with him that entertained the crowd =)
The kids laughing at a certain someone mocking Spidey behind his back while Spidey were entertaining the kids.
Lord Vader is never complete without the classic Force Choke!
This cute girl was sporting enough to do sweet poses!
A Joker 4koma! Yes .. this really happened >.<
Woof!
Girl guides managed to put the Joker to a good cause ..
Joker up to mischief sticking "I support lolis" .. Uhhh .. i mean "I support girl guides" stickers on me .. i could not feel a thing! Its armor!
Trying to do the sticky on Darth Vader as well ..
But unlike armor, Lord Vader actually felt that .. and it didnt end well for the Joker XD
Spidey's Spider Sense could not prevent this from happening as well!
There was no Batmobile for Joker to steal .. so we improvised!
Sitting was impossible for me .. but i could always do it gangsta style!
End of the day .. hard work paid off and satisfied with the smile of many young kids seeing costumed super and non-super characters!
Don't ever mess with Vader! XD
Your posts are always entertaining and fun to read! hope to see more.
Odd socks!
