Computer accidents and a costume to wow at!
Sorry i havent done the collab blogs e.c.t my laptop got smashed, so i was unable to do anything much. However now its up nd running i have some things planned to make it up to you! First off my first ever pleated skirt for a cosplay, i was so proud when i finished sewing it, that with the leg warmers. this is the best picture i have of it for now, theres always a lac of photographers around when you need a photo.
It cos me overall about £5 maximum to make the skirt and leg warmers, the most expnsive part was the buttons, but i am really please, especially as i had no pattern to follow to make it
I will be updating DA and therefor ths week posting photos of other cosplayers from MCM expo and i will also be making a tutorial on how to make a pleated skirt just like i did!
keep sewing for now
Keep on cosplaying

London MCM Expo May 2010
Well im back, heh well almost and my collaberation blogs will start monday next week when everyone has had a rest and a chance to upload all their videos and photos. Starting with kimi-Chan on monday, Wednesday will be Ryzy and Friday shinikami. with lots of photos, videos and other media to share with you! But i will start here writting about my personal experience at MCM expo, the cosplay side and the non cosplay side.
Photos will come later.
Well my expo weekend started as my friend emma came over and we died each others hair and had some fun she cut it perfectly for my necromancer i dont think she could have got it more accurate. she went home that night and thursday he madness started again, she came and picked me up and we went shopping for our last bits n pieces, we then went back to hers for the night to back cakes finnish my partners Ikki tousen cosplay and then to fall asleep watching ouran high school host club... although we only got a few hours sleep before we were up again getting ready to leave, with the large amount of luggage we had (and im not joking when i say i had blisters on my hnds after 5 minutes it was so heavy, and it was on wheels) at this point i was suffering from majorly bad hayfeaver and heat rash.
We got into the second train station and bumped into some cosplayers and i picked up part of a comission for a friend to give to another friend. we got on the train for a 2 hour journey what barely seemed half an hour on our way to Excel London.
When we finally got there we met up with even more people! before checking into the hotel, followed by an evening of fun and laughter at another hotel for the evening with lots of lols and dinner with a friend waiting for my beloved to turn up from university.
When the time hit 11pm we took the long walk along the riverside to get back to our own hotel for the night ready for a 5am start, and not forgetting 2 wigs i had to style (one of which i still havent been paid for ¬_¬)
Well between 5am and 12pm everything was shambbles, bits of cosplay had broken, other bits wouldnt stay up, but that didnt stop people recognising who i was cosplaying as and others didnt even realise bits were missing and complimented me anyway, which made my weekend all the better and made me smile. =D later on a 3rd person and newbie to MCM joined us with her cosplay, she did look really good ^_^ as did my cross dressing partner, although i think we will improve on all of that for the next event in 2 months, wich we both have a lot to work on for. but it should be fun regardless.
anyway as the day went on things started to look up and got better, we baught a few things and spent a fair bit of money heh. ahh well it was worth it ^_^. went on to do all sorts of things, including meeting svetlana who signed my cape, watching other cosplayers walk past with envy, before heading back to the hotel and putting our feet up temporarily before going off again to dinner with some friends. we went to a japanese resteraunt, expensive but lush it was so nice to have gone there, so tasty too, the sushi was devine! a cosplayers heaven.
We later went to the PTI once again had a lot of laughs a drink .... a very expensive drink, before taking back riends to our hotel room so i could dye their hair for the MCM expo on the sunday. whilst my other half slept we had a bit of a laugh, and i recorded some of it, then it was off to bed for another early start to the next day
Next day was full of vocaloid goodness, as my shunou cosplay has failed to be completed i chose to wear Zatsune instead, i was so happy though in a way every girl loves to dress up in a big poofy dress so i couldnt complain. when we got into the MCM hall we forgot our tickets DOH! so instead of being right at the front of the que like we were we ended up a bit further back, but in the end it was ok YAY for knowing people and for them saving us a space. We went in and it was all fun and action packed, we went to cosplay fever and had our photos taken with them, although now looking at some of the sunday photos i look rather frumpy >.< not a great thing, then after waiting around a bit we headed over outside for the vocaloid meet, which i hate to sound mean but i can tell it wasnt organised by an older person, the meet was all over the place, no one knew what we were doing when we were doing it and the people in sandplay werent really included in any of the shots.
After that we headed inside to see if we could get any bargins, this is when we found out someone from tokyopop had lied to us about svetlanas signings and she was signing both days, i was so annoyed! Luckily i had caught her the day before but my partner hadnt.
we went on to hunt for more bargins and we did, though being asked for so many photos kept forgetting to ask for some myself. so in the end i didnt get too many However when walking around we decided to have our photo taken at the neomag stand. so another photoshoot form to fill in heh, it was fun though so im not complaining. just having to keep putting down all my bags, though a big thank you to our friends at genki gear helping us with the luggage XXXXXX Well after we left the even time rolled on and we sat outside for a little while, wasnt long before we went back to the hotel for a quick rest and a brief tidy up before heading off to my arranged glow picnic.
the glow picnic unfortunatly turned into shambbles, it was way too windy for a start, cold and there was police porading the area because of fights and gangs appearing, so we waited inside excel, i was trying hard to hide it but i was mad, really mad, not only that others didnt turn up, but because my meet went to pot and well didnt end up being my meet at all. For the rest fo the night we had drinks and fun and bubbles before heading back to the hotel for a mouse filled sleepless night, which we have complained about but are still awaiting to hear back from the IBIS about a refund or some sort of compensation.
As for my meets i can safely say that i will no longer organise them as i dont get and recognistion for my own hard work and organisation. i was really looking forward to some decent photos too, and that just didnt happen. Hopefull next time i will be less worried about meets, and more worried about taking photos of the epic cosplayers and getting some decent shots, not only for rememberance but for my DA too. It is a big shame i've lost a lot too. well i think that about covers it, for now, next week Kimichan Ryzy and shinikami will have their blogs featured here, and i will also be uploading photos.
Photos will come later.
