hola! ^__^
so yesterday, i went to a little event in cheshunt, organized by the expo peeps, to debut my meowth cosplay and enter the masquerade. when i arrived, the roadshow had been on for about an hour so i bought my ticket, changed into my cosplay and went to check out the dealers and the activities. i saw lots of amazing cosplayers, such as ~Esme-Silver, ~GohoshiSuruNyan, ~TheEmoConnor, ~HyperNinjaSakura, :devjehera:, ~Paz1o1, ~Noriko-Elric, ~pink-ringo, ~Toadsanime and *StephUzumaki and bought some things. Only three though, DON'T WORRY.
Mmmkayz, so soon after I'd splurged my moneyz, we sat down to watch the wig cutting tutorial and the competion that followed that, before signing up for the masquerade. Then we returned to the main room and I briefly met the lovely ~Rayman-Havoc before I had to go off yet again. D:
Before we knew it, it was time for the last few activities before the masquerade. There was a posing tutorial and then anime/manga charades. They also announced there would be pictures taken in the lobby for the website and most of the cosplayers ran off to do that. xD I waited til the madness had died down to have mine taken - it was so awesome! *A*
Then it was masquerade time. Joe, the cosplay main man lmao, took us all backstage and lined us up in order. I was in front of ~Mushroom-L who was an awesome Roy Mustang and behind a huuge Naruto group. They were throwing a ball and I nearly got hit on the head multiple times. xD Soon it was time for me to go on stage and it was AMAZING OMG. I didn't win, but all the other cosplayers were great and deserved their awards~ <3
This may seem a biiiit early, but in May 2010 I'm planning on cosplaying Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon and Finnian from Kuroshitsuji. The thing is, I want to have a group this time as opposed to me going round as a singular cosplayer. x3 So, are any of my watchers prepared to cosplay someone from either of those two animes with me? I'm desperate here. DD:

So, as you may have seen, my Meowth cosplay is finished!

I has risen from the dead!
I've just come back from a trip to Spain with my best friend, Naomi, and I've been busy with school and tests and stuff so I haven't had much time to update since the Expo. D: Sorry!
So, in case you haven't heard, I will be cosplaying the legendary Meowth from Pokemon on both days at the MCM Expo in October 2009. I will possibly be dragging along my friend, who will be cosplaying as Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. She's a huge otaku, yaoi freak and Expo n00b, so be nice to her - she has no idea what she going to be in store for. xDD
We're going to stay in a different hotel than the Ibis this time, does annyone have any recommendations? We're thinking the Novotel or Crowne Plaza at the moment. :3
My Expo journey, if you like, started on Friday. We decided it would be a good iodea to stay in a hotel for the duration of the Expo so we left to go to the Ibis Friday afternoon. The hotel was awesome apart from the fact our room was on the sixth floor and because my mum hates lifts, we had to drag our cases up 6 flights of stairs. xD I was knackered afterwards and was happy the room was so awesome!
Saturday morning, we got up at about half seven, and went down to breakfast where I atleast was entertained by the guys from Uber-Nerd in the queue. I have to say, their costumes were fantastic! Another fantastic thing was the croissants at the Ibis - they were fucking delicious. 8DD Anyways, we had our brekkie and I went to get into my Hikaru cosplay. Then the fun tiemz started. In the queue, I met ~Kitamurin briefly [who looked amazing in her casual loli x3] and we were there for two hours. When the early entry dudes started going in, all the buy-on-the-day dudes started running across the hall, screaming, ignoring the shouts of th Expo staff. It was brilliant. When we finally got out of the queue, I bumped into ~TangleClaw who gave me a biiig hug and tried to steal me LOL - she was so nice and made a great Axel! :'D
Well, when we finally got into the Expo, I died again. xD It was just as awesome as October and the urge to splurge was overpowering, lmao. I bought waaay too much stuff that weekend. <__< My favourite Saturday purchase was definately my blue and white Voodoo Baby cat ears, I love them so much! :3 After a bit of shopping, we went back to chill at the hotel and came back around 3:30 for some final spendingz. Then we came home, had dinner and watched Britains Got Talent.
Then came Sunday, or as I now call it 'Funday'! -lame- We had breakfast, which was yummy as per always, and we headed down to the centre, me in Kagami cosplay. The queue wasn't as big and BAWWW as last time and I saw the cutest kid Naruto taking pictures. >w< So cuuute. I got a goodie bag too which was epic. :'D So we went inside, and this stall owner asked for my photo - that really made my day, she was so lovely! <3 We went to the Team Giblets stall where I ordered a headshot commish of me in my Kagami cosplay - it came out so awesome.
[TBH, I was suprised at the amount of people who wanted to take my photo. o__o; Thank you guys!]
Other highlights of the day included meeting Sasuko, seeing the Linda Hamilton talk and almost winning a Furuba prize and seeing the awesome cosplayers [such as the juggling Dante and the amazing Sailor Neptune!]! It was by far the best day of the weekend.
Phew LOL - please look at my Expo pictures and let me know if you're in any of them or if you saw moi! :3
