Expo part 2

Ok, so HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! tis 31st of October......a sunday and another day of Expo!

Well, especially for Halloween..........a Bright moon of silver and glitter with bats flying in the distance....as spooky castle and some gravestones.........I might have over done it, but I thought it was a fun design.....plus it's given me more ideas for things to do......

Heh, I wasn't entirely awake and Nikki took a surprise photo =_=;; Hence I look grumpy........

Todays lovely outfit for expo-ing..........

random expoers

Met an old friend of mine randomly and I loved what she'd done on her face, guess what?!! She told me that she saw a link for this on my facebook and was actually inspired by it to do this mega-awesome design!! I was sooooo surprised and honoured!! heh, so if you're reading this Leanne, thankyou soooo much for reading and thanks for being an awesome friend........we need to meet up sometime soon!!

One of my fave characters from OnePiece

Bayoneta!!

I think he's the shinigami from 'Deathnote'

Aha! Here we have the cosplayer conga............it gets started randomly every expo......although I was shocked that no one started it saturday O_O;; Still........I was impressed they did it anyway :-p

Lydia..........today she was a lolita in her very own handmade dress!!! She actaully got more attention for this than when she was wearing her Red Ridinghood outfit............go figure.........

Nikki!! heh she bought a bow to match her dress :-3 apparently I'm a bad influence on her as she kept finding really nice things that suited her and I kept telling her to buy them, so she did........yeah, she doesn't like spending money :-p

here's the bat that was on the other side of my face..............wait, why is this picture all the way down here?!?! Stupid computer =_=;;

Here I am at lunch time........I bought noodles, Lydia had a bagel and Nikki had pasta........we're soooo cultured :-p

Got quite a few requests for photo's today, apparently my face art is more popular than I thought!

heh apparently the conga kept going.......although faster round the other side =_=;; Why did someone attack Yoshi?!?!?!

Thankfully this was the end of the line...................

Steampunk Absynth dress.........with working motor powered wings!!! XD

Ah yes, the creater of Ninja Bunny..........I bought these brilliant prints off of him last May, so this year I adopted a Ninja Bunny!! :)

Please check out Ninja Bunny, it is extremely awesome  -> http://www.ninja-bunny.com/

Heh, mum sent me a pic of the pumpkins when it got darker :)

These two were strange......the one on the left I met on the DLR on the saturday when we were venturing back to Nikkis...........he was, well I thought he was tipsy but apparently he was drunk..........I had an entire conversation with him and then today he had forgotten it all...........he appologised and admitted that he remembered me..........heh what a strange event...........

The Fox PUB!!! Where all go after Expo!

David Monteith!!! He's in Geek Syndicate which is an awesome pod cast!! :-) go listen to it now!! heh, we managed to not recognise each other on the saturday, but on the sunday he came over and gave me a hug!! XD heh he also surprise hugged me in the pub while Nikki, Lydia and I were all commenting on how wierd some music videos are recently.......I'm glad I got to see him, shame I now have to wait for the next May Expo =_=;;

Creepy castle in candle light.....

Not impressed Lydia...........if you were no impressed by my blogging, do tell me..........or if you'd like info on how the heck I do some of the drawings I do I would love to tell you :) So comment, you know you want too ;-p xxxxxxxx

EXPO!!!

Ok, so this is the Expo entry......for saturday 30th October!

Ok, well I got to Expo on saturday with my family and my friend Lydia.....I had my Steampunk goggles on, my war paint (lol) and my hair...........it was going to be a fairly care free day I thought......especially as I wasn't cosplaying :-s

Heh, I took my inspiration for this from Roy Litchenstein.......I saw one of his pieces that was 'POW!' in a comic format and thought..... If I did 'Expo!' instead of 'Pow!' that would look rather awesome........luckily it did! XD

Here I am in normal gear.........well, normal for me :-p

This is Lydia in her saturday cosplay......she's a mass murdering psychopath red ridinghood...........yeah, I haven't read that version either, but still it is an awesome cosplay that she made..........although she did admit later that it might have been easier to go to a bondage shop and then buy a nightdress and then just make the boots............but where would the fun be in that ^_^;; heh either way......she got a lot of photographs taken of her............I wonder why lol

Steampunk!!! OMG! first one I saw in the convention before finding the steampunk area.........I love Steampunk sooooooooooo MUCH!!! <3

Here we are, (starting on the left) there's Vicky in her awesome elf cosplay, Lydia as her red riding hood and Me as Me!

I got loads of requests for photo's today!! I wasn't even in costume!! Apparently people really liked my fringe and face art......it was rather entertaining!! XD

She REALLY suited her ears...........heh, we were all filling out these BFF application forms.......they were actually quite tough to answer.....I mean seriously how do you decide what your favourite cake or sandwich is?!?!?!

Brand New Friend Alert!! It's Sully..........don't let the stupid wig fool you! He's actually really lovely and a lot of fun to hang out with.......heh he was cosplaying Ichigo.........he had all the gear, although he wasn't sure where to put his sword.........

I found a Timcampi!!!! I'm such a fan of D.Grayman, that when I saw the GIANT TimCampi's I had to buy one!! He has wires in his wings and tail so you can make him look like he does in the manga and anime!! XD

I tried on a corsette at the event too..........it's an underbust..........I really liked it, I have to say I've never worn one before, but they make you feel like you're standing up straight!! It was sooooo lovely......I really wanted to buy it, especially as I've agreed to go LARPing with a few friends next year and this would look sooooo cool for my character.....not to mention I could use it for Steampunkage!!

My two bestest friends came!! (from left) Ali and Nikki!! Ali was going to Rome on the sunday so I'm glad I got to see her for the saturday and I was staying the night round Nikki's in West Kensington.....I hate the buses and taxis up there as literally there are NONE!! and with the underground all mucked up......GAH! but still we did end up catching a bus, but all of us could walk for a while the next morning as we'd done our feet in :'(

Mr Tony Lee.........the writer of MANY awesome comics.....if you ever find one that he's written I suggest buying it, he's a brilliant writer and has really funny ideas for comics.........so yeah, I asked if I could get a picture, even though he was insulting me for most of the day =_=;; For example:-

• "Why do you have the gay rights flag on your fringe? Have you finally come out?"
• "It looks like a Unicorn vomitted on your hair!"

Just a few examples :-p either way, my friend Nikki is now officially her stalker and apparently I'm Daniel Boultwoods stalker.......I just thought I was a random fan that was perhaps too friendly (just how I am really, you'd be surprised at how many people believe I'm attracted to them and flirting with them.....in actual fact I'm just being friendly......it's happened for most of my life now, so I have no intention of changing.....) Still I could be a stalker, I mean.........um..........I have his email?? Yeah, I'm a pathetic stalker, but not as bad as Nikki :-p

Two awesome cosplayers!

Lulu and Jake Chillaxing!

My pumpkin that I carved for home before I left, mum put a candle in and took a picture for me......it's really sweet!! xxxxxx

Fable III

Right.....well I've been away for the weekend.......so I'm going to start from last friday......which was the 29th of October......

Ok, so I went to pick up my pre-order of the limited edition of Fable 3 and the fable 3 limited edition wireless controller.......yeah I'm a gamer, but only with games like Fable as I find it addictive unlike other games that I will get half way through and leave for YEARS....with a Fable game I normally finish it within a few weeks..........

Ok well here I am in GAME after picking up my goodies :)

Hearts to match my heart T-shirt dress.........

Heh, I had to belt it in as it was HUGE!! Seriously?!?! I can't remember how I used to wear it, but I grabbed a belt and went yeah.......that'll do :-p

of course a cute little heart to even it all out.........

My awesome Fable 3 game, in it's fake leather book case......including metal Guild coin and Fable 3 pack of cards........this is such a 'Win' moment!! XD

Oh yeah! Fable 3 designed wireless controller............I realise it's just a wireless controller with a pretty design on being sold at a rather high price......but lets face it, it's Fable 3 ergo it's awesome, it's amazing and it's SOOOOOOOOO worth it :-3

Just to prove that I was actually in a GAME shop :)

Posing after Fable 3 epicness.....

Ah ha! and here we have the revealing of where the pumpkins were going!!

They look sooooo cute, I was really pleased!! :) I even got a compliment about them from one of the other visitors, who thought it was a good idea.....

The big one was the worst for keeping alight

Mwahahahaha! Oh wait.............it's not nighttime.......ah well they look cute with the candles in

Well..........I guess all I can say is it's gonna be a Spooky Halloween there xxxxx
