How to get yourself noticed!

[tripperfunster]

On my looong way home from Lubricus, I realized I was still wearing my Cap/Iron Man totes gay for each other shirt. (featuring the image: http://tripperfunster.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4ztfrx )

I hadn't really thought much about it until I noticed that people were staring. While I was waiting to get strip searched put throught the airport security, I noticed one of the guards give me the big hairy eyeball, then nudge his co-worker, who stared, then smiled. He whispered something to her, then she did the big 'No! I'm not going to, YOU do it!'. When I finally got to the front of the line, he was all,'what's up with your shirt? cap and Iron Man are my favorites.'.' Mine too!' I replied.

'but...but... They hate each other!'
'No they don't! They have SEXUAL tension.'
*sputter*
So I pulled out my Avengers Prime from my bag and showed him the scene of naked!Tony teasing Steve, and saying that he couldn't keep his hands off of him, and them riding a horse together while Tonez is still nekkid. And he was all; Well I'll be damned! :D. I have to go back and re-read all my old comics! Have a nice day!

Then later the cute Canadian border crossing guy told me he loved my shirt, and the cute (and maybe gay?) flight attendant also said he liked it and asked where I got it.

Ice Breakerz? I haz one!

Ahahaha, only you.

I know a bloke with a shirt that says 'let go of my ears, I know what I'm doing' and it takes people a minute to get it. But when they do...:P

We saw a shirt in Seattle that said; "I cleaned out my ass for this?". Oh god, I wanted one so bad!!,

Hehehe, you're braver than me. Then again, I usually want the exact opposite as an ice breaker.

I'm sad I didn't get to see you this year. :( I hope you had fun at Lubricus, though!

[veridari.livejournal.com]

I am SOOO proud to know you! For so many reasons. We have a special bond because of Babeland I think. ;)

And thank you for the talks on confidence this weekend. They meant a lot. <333

Sounds like you could've sold the shirt off your back a few times! Score!

Yup, Canucks are cool like that. (˘ε˘)

Awesomeness! *hugs* one of these times I will have monies (and time) to go.

[chibitoaster.livejournal.com]

Awesome story! My head has been spinning since I got back, and have been feeling a bit down post con.

This really made my day. And for that, you deserve a bowl of hoo-hoo stew!

MAN I need a gay shirt.

[itsjustgwen.livejournal.com]

I wish I had your balls!

[theficklepickle.livejournal.com]

I wish I had your nerve; I've only once worn my GAY AND SILENT BOB shirt - I just don't seem to go to the right sort of places any more.

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

You are an international treasure.

[sra-danvers.livejournal.com]

I'm your Fan dear. Trying to explain slash and sexual tension to a civil!!! XD I really admire you!! I hope you had a great time al the com!

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

Okay, coolest thing EVER! :D

*likes*

I keep randomly bringing up the Cap/Ironman love and trying to convince people! XD bwahaha! And TOTALLY OMG! I'm so in love with Steve/Tony!

I love that your shirt got so much recognition. The art is amazing and yeah, Tony/Steve and everything is alright again! <3

I am really proud of you my dear, but to be honest I am not surprised that the Canadians have no problem at all with Steve and Tony. That's the country after all that gave us "Due South" and there weren't that many shows in the 90s that were slash worthy, actually went there and even gave us fans a honest to God happy end!

I have been very sucessful in converting people too - one of my friends who was no slasher at all (but I constantly fed her slash stories) is unashamedly slashing all the Avengers slash pairing that I am slashing too. A toast for Joss for creating more slashers around the world.
