Sexy Cosplay Con is not for the kiddies, so leave them at home! This “18+ after-hours annex,” as they are calling it, aims to hone in on the hornier aspects of costume-wearing in popular culture. Adult-oriented art, risque fan art, provocative panel discussions, and of course a parade of skimpy, sultry, slutty super-heroes, Disney characters and anime-inspired looks are sure to be seen. Presented by Troublemaker Studios, this inaugural event promises vampy vendors, “hysterical” programs and performances on a small stage, plus a full bar. Not a lot of specific info about participants on the organizer’s social media as of press time, but the “sexy cosplay” event name is more than enough, ain’t it?

Long Beach Convention Center, 300 S. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach; Sat., Jan. 11, 5-10 p.m.; $10. eventbrite.com/e/sexy-cosplay-con-tickets-75180225077.
