Stripper Vash - Anime Convention Personality of the Week - June 17, 2007

Despite its organizational strangeness, there's one place where Anime Central can be considered an undisputed success. The midwest convention has generated three original costuming personalities, and for once, they're all male. This site already has chronicled the exploits of Sailor Bubba, probably the most popular - or notorious - personality named by this page. There's also Card Captor Will, whose short skirts and spectacular legs have gotten him invited to a convention as a guest of honor. By those standards, it's overdue for this site to add Stripper Vash to the personality list. The legend of Zach began at an Anime Central, held during the era when Trigun was a novelty among American fans, and it was extremely fashionable to dress as Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumbigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andry Charton-Haymoss Ivanovicci Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III. At an Anime Central costume contest, Zach set himself apart from the other Vash costumes by finding a way to more or less credibly get out of his red coat on stage. Moralists shuddered, most fans laughed and enough females were intrigued that Zach was inspired to do it again and again at other conventions. Now, some fans are disappointed when Zach keeps his clothes on.
