Finally: Abunai, Legendary 2008
So Finally I'll do a report on my Abunai!
I only had a Saturday ticket, so there's no Friday to post about! *sigh*
Saturday: I had my alarm set for 7:00 because I had to do a wake-up call for Azzy, I woke up at 6:55 only to shut down the alarm, and fall asleep til 7:17. Called Azzy anyway, but he was up already! (HUZZAH!) I then grabbed my gear, decided it was still a little early and ate my breakfast. Around 8:15 I went to the bathroom, and did what I love most about my cosplay; do the make-up! SCARS! Icky DERMA-WAX! HURRAY... Naturally for those who don't know I went as Joker (in his cute little nurse outfit) It was also a very good test on how my Binder-shirt worked. My make-up:
Eitherway we then went to Abunai (on the road we traveled past a car wih a hysterical girl, all going WOOOOOOAH! WHIIIIIIII!) when we arrived, we parked at a desolate postoffice, which kinda looked like a hospital... We kinda HAD to take pictures there:
Yep the building is still standing! XD
Either we went in, and everybody (throughout the whole day, might I add!) kept whispering on how scary (real ) I looked. That really lifted my ego to a higher level! XD I mean, all this awkward talking about Joker cosplay, well EXCUUUUUSE me (princess) I just LOVE to cosplay him, can't help it! XD We met Carcar and Chris, both did not recognize me untill I spoke, and even then it sounded like: "Lies, is that you?"
Yep binder-shirt and facial make-up, CHECK! XD
We did this little game of recognizing all day, and only ONE person recognized me,... Lizz! (but she admitted someone had told her, so it doesn't really count!XD) Even people I've known for years walk past me. Saya, my dear friend walked past me with two other cosplayers and they were discussing how awesome I looked. Big shock for her when I called out her real name! XD
Later I met an awesome Animation Series Joker and another TDK Joker:
Thanks a bunch guys! ^_ ^
Either way about Joker: I learned not to do a goofy smile at all, since he doesn't do it as well, but there's almost no stopping grinning when cosplaying a Joker, now is there? And I kinda forgot to put the small scar underneith his lip... DOH!
ANYWAY.... Around 3 I decided that I wanted to put on my other cosplay; Gracia (Samurai Warriors 2) Though I knew no one would recognize her. (Except Saya, Jarl and San-chan, but they played the game! XD)
I can't really post a picture of her, since I haven't found many (due the not-recognizing part) but I know Mr DUmmy has some of them up on his site! ^_^
Some more pro's of this con:
-The Location was... close to the station and food.
-The ACTS were SOOOOO good, I only got bored by two of them, and some brought me near tears(of joy)! (Guess which one! XD)
-The people were marvelous, and some people complimented my costumes even though they did not know who\what it was.
-THE AWESOME JOKER FANART I GOT FROM THIS AWESOME GIRL!
-Marco and Titi allowing me to sleep on their room so I could go back Sunday!
-Errr.... 'accidentally forgetting' to buy a ticket... not my fault though, there was noone at the door, and noone behind the desks, well I planned getting a ticket later, but later was around the closing ceremony, and well... NO? XD (besides, spending 15 euro's to BUY something in the Deallerroom...) (Yeah I kinda feel like I'm a criminal now, but I've been a goody goody con-goer since... forever, and if I CAN go next year, I'll definiately buy a weekend ticket! ^_ ^
Negative:
-The Location.... was a maze, and I only figured sunday there was a second floor! XD
-The prices for food and drinks! Outrageous!
Either way, sunday I went un-cosplayed (which was quite a shock for everybody!) But I was kinda ill, and did not feel like spending half an hour on my make-up again! (and my feet were sore from the day before for wearing Gracia's geta's!)
Tadaaaaaaa~! My Abunai! I would've made some pics of other people, if ONLY I had a camera, instead, I do recommend watching Azzy's pics! ^_ ^ (www.aztek-tv.com)
