The other white meat

Want $100 off the price of the Fujoshi Paradise Tour? Buy a Digital Manga Publishing employee at Yaoi Con! And then please, please explain to him the principles behind graphic design so that he can take the knowledge back to the others. Life is too short for weak typography. Anyway, Ben comes "sporting a lovely Wa-Lolita outfit in a floral pattern" from Dreamshoppe. Will it look anything like these? Because not many men--even very pretty men--can carry off the Strawberry Shortcake Lives On Through Me look.

Other Yaoi Con delights include Cafe Verfuhren, where you can "[d]elight in the ever changing dynamics between the owner and his growing harem of bishie waiters as they serve up food, drinks, and hot fan-service for your enjoyment." Everyone involved is actually female, but I'm guessing that if your idea of a good time is watching American girls pretending to be boys patterned on female fantasies of vaguely homoerotic male behavior in order to immerse you in the culture of Japan, then this is for you. Bon appetit!
