Olivia Munn weighs in on San Diego ComiCon
Yeah, I’m pretty tired of hearing ComiCon news – since I won’t be there (grrrrr…). For you lucky bastards who are attending, Olivia Munn has some advice on what to check out. The list is a little Attack of the Show-centric (duh!), and a little obvious. (’Dont miss the panels!’) But it is Olivia Munn, so we’ll cut her some slack.
I do like #2:
2) The Masquerade
The one thing that’s different between Comic-Con and your local comic shop is nobody dresses up every Wednesday when new books hit the shelves — a fact I’d like you all to help me change! Your emotions will run the spectrum from amazed to scared to curious to dumbfounded at Comic-Con’s annual Masquerade event Saturday night. Hundreds of people dress up as their favorite icons from comics, movies, TV, anime, video games, and more. And trust me, while the people who spend all year sweating over the perfect suits do amazing work, the bad costumes are even more divine.
She is half-Japanese Chinese (thanks, Halvsie!), so of course she’s down with the cosplay*. (On a cosplay side note, if you’re following Ms. Munn’s twitter feed, she posted this last night: ‘Just tried on Silk Specta outfit for Comic Con- damn its revealing! I call it an “outfit”, but technically its just a harness.’ Oliva Munn as Silk Spectre? Yowza…)
There is also a gathering of the OMFG (Olivia Munn Fan Group), which is invite-only for members. You did get one, right?
Looks like next year I’ll have to plan a mid-summer vacation to visit the family in Cali.
* I just amended this to ‘half-Chinese’, but I’ll let it stand – half-Asian anything would be down with cosplay, in my mind…

I think Olivia might be half Chinese, not half Japanese. She did live in Japan a great deal growing up however.
