I'm taking your picture so I can remember

WHO: Aegis Force
WHERE: Helix Station
WHEN: First week of June (backdated)
WHAT: Fundraising calendar photoshoot mingle log
WARNINGS: Male presenting nipples and lack thereof

Some time ago, a charity supporting survivors of imPort incidents approached Aegis Force about having its members appear in a fundraising calendar for them, to be sold at FanPort. Though they got a yes, it's taken a while for the Force and the photographer and makeup artist volunteering their services to be available at the same time, and so the photoshoots happen barely two weeks before the con. Talk about con crunch!

It's a sixteen month calendar from September 2019 to December 2020, so every agent who wants a month to themselves is welcome to have their own photo (though agents may also have pair or group photos); any remaining months will be filled with photos of Matches the dalmatian. The charity's fairly lenient: Agents can show off their bodies or their skills or simply be attractive with Matches or a number of props brought along by the photographer. Their main stipulations are that genitalia must be covered (the charity would quite like to put some photos on their Rumblr) and that agents under 21 must be fully clothed and not in anything remotely risque. And yes, that includes the eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds, thanks to the Shieldbreakers' recent criticism of Aegis Force putting teenagers in the line of fire making them particularly wary of skating anywhere near accusations of inappropriateness.

And so through the first week of June, the lobby of Helix Station plays host to a green screen, lights and wind machines, various set pieces, props, and costumes, De Chima fashion and portrait photographer Trelise Matafeo (who's stoked to be photographing cute/hot imPorts, but trying her hardest to be professional about it), and local makeup artist Rochelle Caballero (an old contact of Kanaya's).

Open to action or prose! Go mingle your own way.
