Wow, it's been a while since I posted. Come to think of it, the last one was while I was still in Japan... *sweat*
Went to ALA last weekend though and had half of a blast. Most things were pretty good --especially meeting so many cool people!-- but the con management was getting more annoying by the day.
Originally, I had three costumes planned for the convention but didn't have enough time to finish Hanataro from Bleach. It was kinda sad because I wanted to flounce around and be timid-cute but even without him, I still had fun~ :D
Friday:
mytsie got us there in record time, as always, around 1 where we basically waited around and met people until the second car of our group got there to register into our hotel room. It was a lot wait, but we made friends with Vlad, the adorable Luffy who skipped around the con~ X3 When we got into our room, it was already way late so I changed into Water 7 Nami and enjoyed her skimpy mini-skirted costume out in the cold to Denny's. We then all made Vlad blush during dinner. XD
Rum party was really fun even though there was all this confusion about being a fire hazard and shuffling about for a while during the auction. It was just fun to be in One Piece and a pirate during it though! Arrrrr...?
Saturday: Went the morning as Nami again, this time with Log Pose and Clima Tact with the little birds sticking out of it. Fangirled so much over the other One Piece Cosplayers and had a fantastic photoshoot at the pool! Water + Luffy + Sanji = SO MUCH DROWNING LOVE. <3 Not to mention that Pell ate my birds.
Then changed into Rip Van Winkle from Hellsing during the afternoon. Con management started being asshats around then and there was this ridiculous thing about our Celas' and her Halconenn and how she looked too much like military personnel and it looked too much like real anti-aircraft machinery.... riiiiight-o.
The day was made up with hot hot Sirius/Remus photoshoot with
estelofimladris and Jack-san~ Most of the pictuers were taken with someone else's camera (thank you Megumi!!) but the one that I did managed to fit into my itty bitty memory of my camera, I did fanart on~ X3 They're so pretty!! (*O*)/
Sunday: Was mostly cleaning up and wearing Rip somemore. My extensions were donated to a make Jack Sparrow backhair and I was lazy and didn't want to aquanet the little curl in Rip's hair. Still got Andy, you amazing photographer man you, to take some really pretty pictures though~ Thank you!
HIGHLIGHT OF THE POST: Great weekend filled to the brim with meeting wonderful people~ <3
Fanart of
estelofimladris and
scifichicx as Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Fanart's waaay sketchy, but the REAL picture used as reference was much much worse. XD
More to come~ X3
