Hey guys, what is going on?
My name is Lily Monroe and you are listening to Escort Confessions.
Thank you so much for tuning in today.
I know it's been quite a while since you last heard of me, but I'm still here.
I just haven't had much to talk about, to be honest.
I mean, I posted some videos on YouTube where you could actually see me, see that I'm real
and whatnot.
Yeah, I've just kind of been sitting at home watching friends and playing video games,
doing very minimalistic stuff.
I mean, also working, but yeah, nothing really to talk about, but except today I will talk
about New Year at the Megacon.
Megacon is basically this nerd convention that happens every year in Orlando, Florida,
and it's one of the biggest cons out there.
The other one in San Diego, the one in New York, the one in Chicago, I believe is pretty
big, but yeah, Megacon, it's like four hours away from me.
So I'm like, you know what, my favorite celebrities are there.
I'm going to come.
Oh yeah, I'm going to come.
Sorry, I had to, I had to.
I'm a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind.
What do you expect?
So yeah, I went to Megacon.
I did a tour there, even though I got a bunch of time wastes, who asked me, are you still
in Orlando?
I'm like, it's right there.
I posted touring two until fourth of February.
Of course I'm going to be there.
So yeah, first day I went as Harley Quinn, of course.
I love cosplaying as Harley Quinn, so a bunch of fairies, so a bunch of really cool cosplays.
You know, my kudos to those who wear really huge, really hot cosplays.
Hot not as in booty shorts, butt cheeks hanging out, as in hot, as in you have to be in the
costume in the 60, 70 degree weather, dressed up as a furry, for example.
And yeah, like they take out their masks.
It's like, they're all hot.
I'm like, do you guys want some water?
And they're like, oh no, no, thank you.
Yeah, like this year was huge.
I feel like a lot of celebrities, they appeared and there were a lot of them.
It was like a Star Wars convention pretty much.
And tickets got oversold.
There were too many people.
There were so many people.
I came home, I was passed out because it's just too many people.
Like it's making me exhausted.
So as much as I love those people, those people are part of, you know, my type of people,
it can be exhausting.
Like the first person I saw was Alex Kingston.
She plays Riversong and Doctor Who.
Super nice lady.
She actually talked with her fans.
She took her time and it was like two minutes and it was great.
It's not like just five seconds signed autograph goodbye.
It was like, she actually talked to me and her talked about Ukraine.
We talked about Ireland.
She took her time.
I love her for that.
And she's super nice and super gorgeous and she's little, she's taller than than in the
show.
So she's like six foot.
Yeah, but she's she's fantastic.
The second person I saw was Cameron Monaghan.
He plays Carl in Star Wars game.
He also plays Ian in Shameless.
He plays Jerome and Jeremiah in Gotham, the TV show.
He actually plays the Joker.
Yeah, he is the Joker.
He plays Joker in Gotham TV show.
And where else is he?
I mean, he's in a lot.
He's in lots of things.
Yeah, but he's super nice.
He stayed two hours after the closing because there were so many people that wanted to see
him because it's his first year.
So and the con, they overbooked him.
So of course he's going to like it was so nice of him to stay best late.
And he actually thanked everybody staying so long.
And yeah, super nice guy.
I gave him a few bracelets.
So yeah, let's see.
And then the next day I saw Susan Svendin and Gina Davis.
I'm like, you know what?
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I don't know.
Next time I'm going to see them.
I'm going to get a photo op with them and get to my next photo op after that.
So photo ops are basically you take pictures with celebrities in like five seconds.
You're done.
Go home.
Whatever.
It's like, yeah, and that's a lot of people.
There were a lot of people for them, which I mean, Susan Svendin and Gina Davis, like
Thelma and Louise, like, come on.
Of course, there's going to be lots of people.
But the thing with them is that they don't hug you.
There was a table separating two of us.
So Susan was on one side, Gina next to her table, and then the fan would be right there.
So it was a little awkward, but I'm glad I took pictures with them.
But yeah, like stuff like that, they don't put that in the information when you buy the
photo op.
So yeah, but it's okay.
I got my picture.
I'm happy.
And then the last photo op I had and it was on Sunday.
I had two photo ops on Saturday, two photo ops on Sunday.
So this one was very awkward because I came to see Jason Isaacs, who also took his time
to talk with the fans, which is a huge thank you to him.
And I was like, I loved you in Black Mirror.
He's like, I was actually never in Black Mirror, but I wanted to.
I asked him to put me in there and I started looking all confused.
And I confused Black Mirror with Inside Number 9, which is also British show.
It's also on BBC and it's also got twisted endings every single time.
So that's why I confused it.
I was really tired.
Everybody makes mistakes.
And then I'm like, oh, well, can I give you like a bracelet or something?
He's like, no, no, it will be a waste of money.
And thank you.
And I'm like, okay, nice meeting you.
So freaking awkward.
I mean, he's done 159 things, like whatever.
I'm just surprised he remembered.
But anyways, so that was a little awkward.
But I got a cool picture with him and cool autograph.
So yeah, but it was so awkward.
It's okay, though.
I have a funny story to tell.
And if I ever get if when I when I get famous, it's going to be a feud.
So yeah, drama.
But yeah, on the second day, I kind of just dressed up and dressed as myself and I put
on neon cute outfit.
And a lot of people were complimenting me and looking at me.
So that was nice.
I saw Pikachu cosplays, X-Men, Shrek cosplay.
Peewee Herman, the Ballad of songs, songbirds and snakes.
I saw the Charmed cast, lots of really, really cool cosplays.
I don't think I'm going to go next year just because I don't know who's going to be on
it.
And if like I'm such a big Doctor Who fan, I have I have to see 11th Doctor and 12th
Doctor like Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi.
And that's it.
I don't need to see anybody else.
So if they're going to show up, I will show up.
But yeah, Megacon super fun time.
If you guys ever hear about it, you should go just to see what it's like there.
And maybe you'll see some of your favorite celebrities.
Who knows?
Yeah, so I had a great time.
It was fun.
It was exhausting.
It was it was I was really tired after two days.
I actually came home on Monday morning and I slept throughout the day.
I was just so exhausted because I barely had any sleep during those cons.
You know, you always have to get there early, find parking and walk to it.
And yeah, yeah, but I had fun.
Yeah, so that would be it for today's podcast.
Thank you so much for tuning in once again.
