Ohayocon
I spent all of last week making costumes [I have 3 to do and props]. We did have 3 hours of emergency prep on Friday to get the last props put together and spray-painted.
When we got there, everyone was just arriving, so we didn't spend a lot of time in line. Considering I spent 4 hours in the line for ACen, I am greatful for the short wait. Before we got registered, of course - we got our room and put our stuff down. I chose Jahairian to walk with and put all his bondage gear on him and carried him down. In line, 3 people came up to me. Two guys and a girl who all wanted to look at him. I explained what he was, showed off how he was put together and even let one person hold him.
There was more than plenty to do. Ohayocon's staff had put up the schedual on Thus, so everyone im my group already had an idea of what they wanted to do. Lisa and I checked out the Dealer's Room first. Because of our costumes, we wouldn't be able to carry bags or money on Sat. We decided first though, to look at the Artist Alley. I was stopped by three people at different tables with dolls or asking me about Jahairian. Then blakrose found us and we got into a discussion about Yuugiou and Lolita dress as I glued eyelashes in for another girl. Lisa wandered off about halfway through all this talking since I was there for about an hour and a half xD;
Blckrose followed me into the Dealer's Room and showed me thetable with Dollfie Dreams and Dollfie Pluses for sale. I didn't buy one, but they were very intresting alt. to barbies [they're barbie-size, jointed and have squishy boobs]. I did buy 3 Pinky-St. figures and a GIANT Tare Panda pillow. More people asked about Jahairian and I didn't find any pr0n involving Bakura. I swear the doujinshi dealers have some kind of fetish with SetoxDark/Yuugi >> <<;
Sat. night, I went to a Japanese horror film pannel. I think it's the "Happy Kamikuris" that I have to check out. It had a Zombie dance number. I wandered around a but after that, and Lisa picked up some contacts. I took her back to the room and she put them on. They're impressive. Pics follow at the end of this post.
I went to Main Programming and watched some of Midnight Maddness. I got the see ReDeath again, along with Fisting of the North Star. I have gained another saying. Then there was sleep.
Sat. I got everyone up at 8 and we spent 2 hours dressing. The costumes came out perfect save for Nikolai's...but that's because I made a fur wig instead of buying a white one. He also wore his boots as opposed to the sneakers he should have had.
We went down to the Doll Meetup, which consisted of a lot of people taking pictures and talking. I'll get pics of all the dolls up later, as I didn't have my camera with me at the time. Lisa and I wandered around and did nothing specific. We got our pictures taken a LOT and no one could correctly guess who I was. Ah well.
Sat. night was cosplay. I had really wanted to do a skit, but I lost a lot of people from the project [10 down to 2] so I didn't get a chance to put a skit together. Cosplay was...mediocher. Although Kumagoro did breakdance and do The Worm onstage x3 We didn't stay for the winners, and scooted to Bad Anime.
We also went to see Ghost Tales presented by two of the VAs. Ghost Tales is like a Japanese Scooby Doo. When the dubbing company got it's hand on it however...it's a totally different anime. There's no way to describe it. It was just damn funny. Best line from that for me: "My character's name is 'Leo'. In the original anime, his name is 'Ryo. R-Y-O.' ...and that's just dumb." I was amused. *pokes Bakura-kun*
Last thing we did on Sat. was "Who's Line is it Anime?". They wanted to keep it clean, but the audience decided it was No Holds Barred NC-17. Everyone had to show IDs to stay. They did skits for about an hour and a half until one member fell asleep. It was 3am, so the auidence was shooed away > 3;
Sunday was spent getting a present for Lisa and sleeping at home : D;
Cosplay notes:
The Scales actually worked. They were rigged to tip, and many souls did not pass xD
Because Japanese ghosts don't have feet: I was barefoot for all of Sat.
That Ring is an inch in diameter. It took 4 hours to make, and is made out of a metal ring, pop cans, clay, super-glue and spray paint : D;;;
I'm not a cosplay virgin anymore, wooo~
