Small Sailor Moon Drama
The story according to the mice on wank report: Lori, aka Sailor Moon, aka Usagi Kou, found the post her ex-boyfriend made about her on Pocky Box and was Not Happy. When DJ Ranma S tried to diffuse the situation, she took him off her friends list. He retaliated in kind and made a public post, which includes the usual complaints about Lori and advises her to seek therapy.

Comments have been disabled but abuse of the English language abounds in the screencaps. There's also a reference to a lawsuit in the post; does anyone know what that's about?

(For bonus fun, Lori Kou disses another cosplayer’s outfit here.)

(ETA: For super-extra bonus fun courtesy of

braisinhussy, some more Sailor Moon drama can be found here .)

Another ETA: We have some information about the lawsuit. Thanks anonymouse!

But wait, there's more!

narcissam, without any regard for her safety, has bravely transcribed the phone post. *salutes*

Much thanks to

komorebi for the info about the bannings and revokation of awards.

Finally, a big round of applause to the mouse on wank_report for letting us know that there’s a movie in the works. Enjoy the preview of Tuxedo Mask Origins, everyone!

It's not over yet!

DJ Ranma S lj was suspended! Word is that Lori got him by claiming he posted her real name. s0nified has this to say on the subject. Thank you, anonymous, for the info!

Another ETA: DJ Ranma S is back.

Okay, last one: DJ Ranma S got his original lj back. The post about Lori had to be removed, but a mirror can be found here.

Well...

She is filing a lawsuit against another known cosplayer Jezeroth due to the Anime USA debacle. He had told the AUSA cosplay coordinator about her lying about her rank in cosplay and how she doesn't make her own costumes, passing them off as her own. She feels that it is a defamation of character, thus why she is going to sue.

Honestly, her suit has no merit.

	Ah, so that's what it's all about! Thanks for that! But at least one claim is true, I'm pretty sure she has said that she doesn't make her own costumes. (I don't know what 'rank in cosplay' means, though.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In cosplay competition there are different ranks such as novice, journeyman, master and the life. Apparently Lori has been claiming a lower rank or some such. However there is the fact of her not making her own costumes and in some competitions it is completely against the rules to compete at all in a purchased costume even if you aren't going for craftsmanship.

	Thank you for clarifying that! And if she's deliberately breaking the rules, why is she so surprised that someone's has called her on it? Silly person. I just hope we get more information about this lawsuit! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shinnohana 2006-02-09 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	You and me both! Also she breaks the rules because her attention whoring ass can't live without the fact of being in the limelight. I am just glad that somebody shut the lights off on her and her rule breaking.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A lawyer would have to desperate or insane to take on a case like that, I think. Or maybe she doesn't really have a lawyer and is making the whole thing up? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Especially because it's not defamation of character if it's TRUE. Awww, she's banned from AB? I was hoping for some in-person wankspotting. pout -WTF on LJ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Also, wouldn't it only be actionable if it interfered with her livelihood? The last I heard the only way Lori made a living was from finding suckers in the cosplay world and mooching off of... ...oh, right. I guess it WOULD interfere with her livelihood. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I trust the "you're banned from x, y, z" con rumor about as far as I can throw a Toyota. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Then you must be able to throw a Toyota pretty damned far. She is banned from competiting at said cons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's banned from the masq competitions. I don't know about officially, but I would be willing to bet she is blacklisted. Masq people don't take kindly to misrepresenting your costumes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Well, you can compete in performance even if you didn't make the costume. For instance if I commissioned an Inu Yasha outfit from a friend I could do a skit wearing it, but I could not enter craftsmanship unless I was entering as a group with the maker.

Still, when I do stuff like that I'm still honest about it being commissioned (though I have yet to commission anything.)

	I'm 100% sure that she's been given one particular costume, though I don't know that she's tried to wear it/compete in it at cons. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	pink_lightning 2006-02-12 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I think the records are in Pocky Box that are from Setsuna Kou's shop, listing what costumes she bought. She must have made some cos Scott said she owed his mom $200 for fabric. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Neither her lawsuit nor her sailor suit have merit. lame attempt at humour She won't get far in any case, as there has to be some form of injury to her reputation in monetary value before anyone would even take a case like that, and as she already has a well-earned bad rep.....that just speaks for itself really.

	Five ~~imaginary~~ dollars says her 'lawsuit' is passing through one of those courtroom shows like Judge Judy. And personally, I hope it does so I can point and laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
