Men are allowed to go bare-breasted, but g-string/banana hammocks are their bare minimum. Costumes and fetish wear are always welcome! Saturday night is a Sultry Cosplay party, so feel free to go all out!
Can I bring a camera or take pictures/video?
Yes, both cameras and video cameras are allowed for non-commercial use, unless specified otherwise.
Do the stars charge for autographs?
Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no. It all depends on the individual star or company. Your best bet is to tweet the star you are interested in getting autographs with.
