:lol:

Actually, that was just a comment - the pic is right there in that album. I've never been to Yaoicon, nor really plan to (I'm not at all homophobic, but I don't want to give people the wrong impression about my orientation and whatnot...).

Anyways, crazy stuff. Where'd they get all those guys from, anyway? Just con attendees?

Honestly I dont know the whole 411 on them, because that was my first yaoi con. I know they were volunteers and some are from last years con. These are some high price bishounen. The guy with long pretty hair with red streaks went for $500. The one dress as Dante auctioned out for $1000. It was like doujinshi scans coming to life or something. Anneke may know better then I do about where those guys came from. Their was one Japanese who came with a feautured manga artist and was asked to be in the auction by someone. The rest I really dont know

:lol:

That's... quite the auction.
Who were the buyers? Fangirls mostly, or both genders?

(/wonders if other cons have auctions for bishoujo... not that I could afford one, anyway :roll: )

Wow, if that's all it takes even I might sell for something.

Speaking of which... who gets the money...? o.o

Not my department but I believe the money goes to setting up Yaoi-con next year.

Somtime's I've wondered how much I would make but having a girlfriend and being faithfull to that, it's not something I'll ever attempt.

I am not sure who gets the money, I was curious about it, because the manga artist was obviously the one who purchased a large amount of bishounen. I honestly don't know. I enjoyed the event it was soo a girls best night ever. If I find out anything I let you know

Hn. I offered to sell you to the highest bidder if you went. :evil: I wouldn't have even made you smooch the guys - you could have been a 'girls-only' bishie. Next year I'll just kidnap you and sell you off for the night.

And the money went to the chair, the person running the convention. The guys (the bishonen) were unpaid volunteers. A nice $3000-to-5000 sweep in just a few hours. Some fangirls were wild, paying that much to spend a few hours with a guy who was free to leave any time he felt uncomfortable. o.O

I was just there for the show. ;p

Otohiko - the buyers were fangirls, but the manga guest of honor snagged 5 or 6 bishies for herself since she had enough travelers' checks to outbid everyone there. The fangirls were stuck paying cash.

Hah, and I'd have gone if you paid for my ticket there. ;p We'll see about next year, if you somehow spare enough money to go.

Pft, that's no good. If the money went to the bishies, I'd work my ass off to lose weight and get into next year's show. ^_^
