♥ Meet DAVE! AKA Rofltrain, AKA Hot William! He was such a darling, I now feel bad for feeling so pervy about him. He was such a fun guy and a gentleman, and he played with my parasol whilst burloire was a creeper behind him (Just kidding, bb, ILU)
♥ Go to MASSIVE Kuroshitsuji photoshoot; bit of a disaster, there were literally 75+ people there
♥ Hang out there for a bit, start heading to dinner, but the group is too big
♥ Nearly dying and worn out, Darling Rei and I part ways for a bit to shower and refresh; Doll needed a bit of repairs
♥ Take bath, refresh :D
♥ Put Doll back on - feel like a zillion bucks!
♥ Go to con, and SUDDENLY, am surrounded by my Cosupray Oneesan kasaiface and the /cgl/ GODDESSES like Scout and Sey and fffffffff I was SO NOT WORTHY and I probably made a complete fool of myself spazzing
♥ Glancing over and noticing Rachel in the middle of Drunk /cgl/ Goddess Hug Orgy

♥ Watch Rachel play with my Parasol, LOL
♥ Am preyed on by EBK. Uhh...
♥ Plow way to dinner
♥ Have a bunch of people shout "DOLL!!!" from across the street, "WE LOVE YOUR COSTUME!!" I nearly cried. I blew kisses and thanked them profusely. Why is everyone so kind? ;_;
♥ Get to Tako place at like Midnight
♥ Spy on JJ from balcony and eat Mexican
♥ Read the TV in CAPSLOCK MODE
♥ Hang around back at con for a bit
♥ Get kicked out by hyperactive security guards with whistles
♥ As it happens, everyone's pretty settled, my pajamas still have breakfast on them, and there are no blankets, so uh...
♥ Go downstairs to find blankets, But they're out of them
♥ Check in briefly with everyone online
♥ Come back... The only spot is on the floor. I'm grateful for the pillow, but I sleep in my clothes with a towel as a blanket hahaha FML.

Yeaaah wow. D: Somewhere halfway through writing this, my motivation died. BUT HERE. If you read any of that, then these photos will make sense! These are all different sizes because most of them were gonked from places.
Me as Regene! Unfortunately my binding's showing a bit through my keyhole. It was pulling that crap all day.
I lord over the purple skittles.
Patrick invades a purple skittle picture. Regene is a troll.
Suddenly, MR BUSHIDO??
My Regenetwin and I are ~*~*FABULOUS*~*~
I'm not fond of Anew, as everyone knows, but how cute are they?!
ASS TO ASS~
I and another cute Regene are fabulous~!
Joker checking out datass on Beast.
HOT WILLIAM Dave and I! Gah, I wish I'd turned to the side a bit in this picture, I look so frickin wide.
Then things got amazing. Basically best picture of my life ever.
SUDDENLY, SEYMOUR.
Joker glowers at the passers-by hitting on his woman.
Rachel and I being the odd couple. LOLOL someone actually thought we were a couple fffff.
Delicious Circus group!
Rachel, being quite dead after walking all over Timbuktu in the heat.
Lilly: Rei, look dead.
Rachel: *still laughing*
Lilly: DEAD PEOPLE DON'T LAUGH.
Mugi on Sunday~! :D The wig didn't turn out nearly so bad on! I'll still have to remake my bow.
THINGS I LEARNED AND WILL DO DIFFERENTLY
♥ Get there THURSDAY.
♥ Have less people in the room. I don't care if it costs more, I'm not sleeping on the floor again. :|
♥ Lengthen Doll's Overskirt
♥ Bring spare pearl Strands to glue on
♥ The candy thing was a BAD IDEA.
There we are. Hopefully more pictures will surface after SDCC ends!
Thank you everyone SO much for your support. I couldn't have done it without you! And those who found me because of Doll... Hello! I hope I'm what you expected...
Everyone take care!
