However, one has to grab pix when they present themselves, no matter the setting.
Renji: So, this is what the airport looks like outside of a box?
Aibo: *laughs* Looks like being in the bag isn't much better for your wig!
Ichigo: Hey now, it's not like you can say anything, Mr. My Wig Keeps Coming Off!
Aibo: *grabs at his own wig and grumbles* Cheap aernath!
Wish she would hurry up and get me some velcro.
Renji: *sigh* Company is such a mixed blessing.
Ichigo: Oh, you're just upset because you always have "bed head". *chuckle*
Later, on the plane...
(sorry, even after tweaking these pix of Aibo, he's still blinding :sweat )
Aibo: Haaaahahahaha! Check it out, Ichigo!
I got a cookie AND my own cup of tomato juice!
Ichigo: *from inside the bag under the seat* Oh shut up.
Aibo: Tsk. Got some crumbs on my immaculate suit. *brushes them off*
At NanDesuKan!
Ichigo: Ha-HA! You may have gotten out on the plane ride, but ~I~ got out here!
Smoke THAT, Aibo!
(While Baakay has a quiet heart attack because he's on the second story railing...)
We met up with a couple of DoA folks! (Forgive me! I only remember one was hellsingsomethingorother!)
Had to get pictures of the lovely boys in their finery. ^__^
Yul: *smacks head* I can't believe you!
These guys come all dressed UP, and we're all dressed DOWN!
*pause*
*looks around*
But at least everyone's head is lower than mine.
Pretty Abaddon, looks like he doesn't want to talk to us though. ~_^
Gorgeous outfit!!!
This outfit is just perfect on this boy!
Shyly (slyly?) exposing some sexy leg there!
That evening, the Baakay (and her two girls') hoard meets the Aernath's Ranch
Ichigo: Aernath keeps talking about getting one of you tall guys to be another Ichigo.
Quick! Look floppy or something!
Renji: TinyGo! How the heck did you get here?
You weren't in either of the bags!
NotTinyGo: I'm not TinyGo. I belong to Baakay. I live here.
TanWoo: Am I, or am I not, Gorgeousness Incarnate?
The entire schlameel!
**CHEER**
Lysle: Hey, can we stay a bit longer here?
I'm kind of enjoying myself...
Had to put the two Ichigos together, and turn Renji around to face the front.
NotTinyGo: Can you believe these big guys?!
TinyKenshin: Yeah, ever since that big Kenshin guy came in, no one believes I'm Kenshin any more.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
heh heh
No, really, on the way to the Con the next day, Baakay let us stop by this Longhorn ranch for pix.
Aibo: You're sure this fence isn't electric?!
aernath: Hush. You're insulated. *snort*
(Man, this little White Boy is incredibly white in the daylight! O_o)
Ichigo: And what's with the tiny barbs?!
Do they really think those huge Longhorns are going to even NOTICE something tiny like that?!
They'll just bust the fence down and not even feel a thing!
The Longhorns were, unfortunately, at the back side of the paddock.
Finally back at the Con...
The female cosplayers were out! ^___^
A female cosplaying Ichigo! I don't feel so bad about wanting to do it myself after that. ^^
She even recognized my "Speaking is not communication" tee shirt as an Ichigo shirt!
I gave her Bonus Points for that!
And a female Renji! Woot!
And a whole gaggle of Bleach cosplayers!
**After the dealer's room, it was time for lunch at a fancy Italian restaraunt**
(Where the waiter kindly asked if the dolls would like the children's menu!) XD
Ichigo: What would madam like?
Ichigo: A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and Thou by my side?
aernath: *giggle* That's just apple juice, goof.
Ichigo: *sniff* Quit ruining the atmosphere.
**After lunch, I found a male Ichigo**
Baakay's girls behaved themselves while we waited for Baakay to get autographs and sketches.
A Genma (from Ranma) came by. ^___^
There was some entertainment as we waited...
Just as we were leaving, I spotted the Sabik I'd been looking for all day!
Found a little stash of dolls!
And then the Sabik love began!
I took several shots, but was so excited, my hands shook too much.
Renji: Yeah, this here's my buddy...
(INCREDIBLE how short Renji looks!!!!)
And a shot of the pretty boy, before heading out the door.
Such a pretty thing!
And as a comparison shot for the upcoming one that blindsided me as we were going out the door...
Vash the Stampede!
Vash the Hurry!
Everyone was trying to get in the van, but I had to stop for one last shot...
Ichigo: *sigh* Another waterfall...
I can hear hobby laughing from here.
Ichigo in the van, just sitting in my lap, looking lovely... *sigh*
Ichigo: Are you making fun of my hair?
aernath: *chuckle* No. Never.
At the IHOP
Ichigo gets some fond fondling from one of his biggest fans.
Ichigo: Stop playing with my hair!
Ichigo: A strawberry?
Why do I have to eat a strawberry?
Kenshin: That's cannibalism, that it is.
Ichigo just couldn't escape the snuggles. XD
Secretly, I believe he loves it though. ~_^
He was getting spoiled rotten.
**We had the misfortune of having to take the 7am flight out of Denver**
Ichigo: So... underground train to get to the plane that takes you in the air...
Ichigo: It's far too early for these types of questions.
aernath: You're telling ME! *yawn*
Ichigo: Hey, wanna see our plane?
Renji: mmmrrrf *waves Ichigo away from inside the tote bag* Wake us when we get there!
Ichigo: *on the plane watching the sunrise*
Okay, but y'all are missing it.
Renji: Only if you'd shut up about it!
Ichigo: Hey, I get this whole cracker? WITH cheese?
Cool!
Ichigo: HA! You hear that, Aibo?
I get this huge cracker with cheese! It's much bigger than your tiny little cookie was!
*grins*
She DOES love me better!
*happy sigh*
And all is quiet back at aernath's ranch. ^_^
BTW, for reference:
L-R: Rat, HIchigo (has new wig and wicked eyes as seen in the previous photos), Renji, Ichigo, Shin-u (different wig, and new face coming)
Front row: Lysle and Yul
Fun was had by all.
Got to meet JWR and his wife Maria for a brief time.
And of course, spent most of the time with Baakay and Kymaera.
)? (Are the rest all Baakay's dolls? 
Thanks for sharing them!
).
(Made for a sweet pic though!
