When Worlds Collide
Feb. 14th, 2009 08:33 pmHey,
So, I thought the one GenCon that mixed gamers and football fans was a great day in cognitive dissonance, but it turns out there's something even better:
Scheduling a Fetish Fleamarket (kinda-NSFW) and an elementary school-level Cheerleading Competition at the same venue.
So you've got these very young girls walking through the halls with big bows in their hair, face glitter, little cheerleader uniforms alongside (well, a safe distance away from) large, burly men wearing a lot of leather and a pony tail.
It was the most delightful cultural clash I've ever seen. The only thing it was missing was a squad of drag queen cheerleaders. THAT would've been PERFECT!
