INFLUENZA (cosplay update!)

Sun Nov 8, 2009, 8:53 PM
  • Mood: Bemused
  • Reading: Heart no Kuni no Alice & The Graveyard Book
  • Watching: ^lol, add Mushishi
  • Drinking: wataaaahhh~!
EDIT: I DURPED. I updated this with fancy shmancy pictures and refurbished the PCC list!

(NO I'M NOT SICK. Influenza's just kinda cool to say~)

As if I haven't been spamming you guys enough already, I figured it'd be a good idea to get my Kasupurei plans out in the open to get things clear for other folks who I'm cosplaying with!

PCC Line up:
-Rolo from Code Geass [link]
-SOMETHING from Baccano (Not sure who yet, but dude, they have Brooklyn accents <3 )
-Either Chara CD Prussia [link] or Chara CD England [link] , or even Armour England [link] from APH (I'm super indecisive)
-Pierce Villier from Clover no Kuni no Alice [link]
-I'm also doing the Don't Say Lazy version of Tsumugi from K-On! [link]
-If it pleases you, I may also do Kefka finally! [link]
-I ALSO HAS A SECRET COSPLAY THAT IS SO SECRET THAT KNOWING ME I'LL BLAB IT ABOUT WHEN IT'S DONE


I'm also thinking about doing the masquerade~ I'm not really sure cuz my skills aren't where I'd like them to be, but I can darn well try!
I was thinking of either Lia D'Beaumont from L'Chevalier D'Eon (manga version) [link] , Falco Lombardi from Star Fox/Super Smash Brothers [link] , Kefka from FFVI (Amano version), or something XD
IDK, I want to think of something....

No idea what to do other than an over glorified walk-on...

IDK...


For Expo, I has planned:
Lidell from Pop'n Music [link]
Pierce (again~!)
something Hetalia?
Maybe some YU-GI-OHs~ (Marrick Ishtar, IGNORE ME!) [link]
Gangsta-chu (with the awesome-ness that is Leexy)
I may do Rolo again too, who knows XD
OH EXPO~~


but anywho!
The Cosplay X-mas party is still a go!
You can still RSVP here or on the original journal!
EVERYONE is welcome to attend! Just let me know please!
And I'll look into having that admittance fee half and half, cuz I know some of you said you did want the pizza and soda.


Au revoir~! ;D

Cosplay Christmas/b-day party!!!

Thu Nov 5, 2009, 1:05 PM
  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: Promise (Get Down) - Kohmi Hirose
you heard right folks!
Since my birthday's in the same time period that people want to have Christmas parties, I thought it would be a good idea to have a birthday/Christmas party!

What: Spence's 22nd birthday-Christmas party!
Who: Canada! I mean...YOU! (I need 30 or more people for this)
Where: Great Skate USA (South of 43rd ave and Peoria, behind a strip mall on the South West corner)
When: Friday, December 18th, from 1:00pm to 3:30pm!
Why: cuz I luvs you guys~ (and I really want and excuse to make Poland's christmas outfit XD )

Admission is $12 per person (stupid me forgot to ask if this includes skate rental, but I'm pretty sure it does, I'll double check tomorrow)
If you guys want a pizza slice and a soda, it would be $15 per person, but IDK if everyone wants that.

It's a private party, so we'll have the place to ourselves! Plus I want some good music gosh darnit!

What we'll be doing is of course Skating but! there will also be a Secret Santa/White Elephant.
Part of me feels Secret Santa would be a great idea because that way you can get something specific for that person, instead of some thing random.
White Elephant (for those that don't know) is a game where you bring in a random gift, people go by numbers, that random person pics a gift. If someone sees a gift that you have and they want it, you can steal it.

So, part of me feels Secret Santa is the better of the two. XD
BECAUSE KNOWING ALDEN- I mean...nothing......

anywho, Everyone's invited and cosplay is well encouraged!
(if you're from out of town, like Tucson and Sierra Vista, I'll be glad to house you XD)

Please comment and note an RSVP please! I know it's a more than a month out, but I want to get to this before anyone else steals my birthday date!

Con Sandwich~ full of vitamin TOO LONG DIDN'T READ

  • Mood: Cheerful
Pics and Vids are up!

Here's the Skit!

Ok, SO!

Let's start at zeh beginning!

Friday
The night before I had everything out and ready, but not really packed into my suitcase, so, I woke up at 8, and started getting everything situated into my suitcase. I also had to make a collage of the pics I had for the masq, so that took a while, but it gave me time to do things. So pretty much I was running late like crazy. I finally arrived at the con at like 2pm and set up my stuff for the AAtable with Crystal and got to see a lot of folks! I had done a meido outfit and so many people were all like, "You're girly! OMG!" XD
It was a lot of fun :3
then, at about 5:30 I had to pack up like crazy cuz my table mate's break took a long time (the elevators had way too many people and she couldn't find the stair well).
I had to rush to the Extended Stay (which thankfully was only 5 minutes away) to get changed for the fashion show. I forgot who I ran into when I was getting ready, but I'm pretty sure it was Laura and Nikki XD so, went back to the con, stayed in a small photoroom, moved to a busy back room, derped on posing, and cock-blocked Gackto and Frenchie in the front XD Aleyna won some Desu Note stuff for being amazing awesome and I got some pictures of her and Guernica in their Takuya Angel inspired outfits. Then I got changed into Sai from MtNN and too some epic pics with Venus~ I made Sai super short though and tons of people were giving me the ' O.O ' face, because they didn't know I was wearing a body suit underneath XD
I then decided that I'd go to the dance and shake ma groove thang with some folks. Got tired/bored and went back, took a shower, then went to bed.

Saturday
woke up at 7:30am to get ready and to set up my AAtable. I'm not sure what time I got there, but Crystal and Wesley weren't there. So, I set up my things and got hounded by people. Holy cow I sold so much in so little time! XD
Eshiza, Yuki, Germany/Togekiss, Leexy, and some other people hung around my booth being cool kids and keeping me company. Leexy was the cutest serious business meido EVER <3
I wish I could've gone to Cafe Moe to get served some tea by her.
oh heck, I'll force you to do it any way when you do Swiss and I do Austria again XDD
ANYWAY, Crystal showed up I think somewhere around 12 or so and our booth got super colorful instantly. Wesley showed up at 11 or something. I had to pack up at 1:30pm though so I could get ready for judging for the masq. Took Nikki with me and she was super special awesome help with the friggin' stringing. Stood with the Circus folks in a horrible placed line in front of the restrooms and waited. Saw David while in line and he started to like rub all over me and the gals of the Circus group were like, "BACK! BACK WE SAY!" XD David's a trip. So, we got a bunch of photos whiel still waiting. BUT OH MY. When I went up for judging I got super nervous and very critical of myself. M.Alice Legrow(sp?) was one of the judges and her stuff is amazing so I felt like a tard when she asked me some questions and Owl Depot was one too and she's super cool and I couldn't help but feel super anxious around her too, because she's a cosplay role model for me. The third judge I can't remember who she was, but she was a neat person too, so I just had so much word vomit I felt like slamming my head on the floor and begging for a second chance as to not look like such an idiot.
Then afterwards I joined Leexy in waiting for her panel. We sat in on a BJD panel and sometimes I find it hilarious how some people are so against snark forums. But oh well. Then I sat in Leexy's Posing panel and (harmed more than) helped out with some stuff.
Then finally it was Green Room time and that took FOREVER, but then the masq finally started and oh man, we were all excited and nervous. We had the coolest den mother ever too, Madame Red. So, backstage, all antsy, then suddenly, OH SNAP, IT'S OUR TURN. Waiting on my cue, got Snake into the box but oh god....the box kept getting caught on the carpet corners of the stage, so I had to just stop and leave it to keep on time with my cue. Apparently people said it looked good anyway XD
Wendy brought up her hand to early so we all did the wave XD but it looks kinda neat on the youtube vid~
anywho, my gun didn't go off AGAIN, but I had to focus more on making my death look kinda real.
then suddenly it was over XD
It went by so quickly! So, went back to the green room, Aleyna got more awards for being extra amazing, then we all filed back into the back room of the masq. WE WERE ALL FREAKING OUT. OMG, ANTICIPATION HAS NEVER BEEN SO NERVE WRECKING. Then, in all silence: "And winner, of Best in Show, for Saboten 2009, is..."

Circus Group: o_o;;

"KuroCENSOREDSuji!!!"

Circus Group: (*insert blood curdling fangirl screams here*)

Then we did a group, "EXTREME!!!" in victory. It was strange being handed a light saber and some random pack of things with an alan wrench (I found out they were filters for the light saber), but dude, we only got two little owls in cages and they were so cute! But I think they belong to Alden and Melissa now, not sure XD but I'm just happy we won best in show.
I didn't want the light saber, so I let Nikki have it (what am I going to do with a light saber? come now!). Then we got last minute asked into doing a 10 in the morning panel. Afterwards, we wanted to get some victory ice cream, but seeing as how it was 11pm, nothing was really open, so some of us went to Jack in the box.
I FOUND OUT I COULD EAT SOLID FOODS AGAIN. So, I bought a bacon double cheese burger meal XD I almost got sick from eating, since my diet had previously consisted of not eating a lot all at once.
but still, DELICIOUS BURGER OMNOMNOM.
I had changed before we went out, then after Jack in the box, went back to the con, hung out for a while, danced a bit, then couldn't stay awake anymore and went back to the hotel with Aleyna.

Sunday
Woke up at 7am, took a shower, got half dressed into Austria, and ate breakfast while everyone was asleep. When 8am rolled around, I opened the blinds to wake people up and some of them are all, "WHY YOU DO DAT?" and I told them, "guys, it's 8:06"
I loved Aleyna's, "Fffffffffffawk, really?" reply XD
So, we got all of our things together, got the room all cleared out, checked out and headed towards the con! Apparently we had won more things, but at the moment I really didn't care, because we were late for the panel. Went to the panel, answered some really good questions, and then went back to the lobby. Out of all the prizes we were given, I only kept a Code Geass Necklace. Nothing else looked that great, so I was all, "Pssh, I has me a fancy necklace, I'm set."
I also have the certificate, and I'm going to get it framed~
I'm kinda ticked off that we didn't get a plaque or a trophy, but what can you do with a con that's run by people who are more concerned about having a staff lounge than having awesome guests.
:iconfacepalmplz:
Oh well :/
Then I aquired Leexy's amazing hairspray and Tori's straightener and proceeded to do my hair for Austria in the hotel's bathroom.
Ran into Mari, Rhianan, Eshiza, and Yuki in said bathroom. Poor Yuki XD Eshiza had a surprise party planned for her, so, to keep her distracted, Eshiza made her get a bunch of crap out of the car. So, Yuki seemed kinda ticked XD;
Then went out to the lobby, told some folks the plan, then, when yuki arrived, Eshiza and I counted to three and all the people in the area of the lobby we were in started to sing happy birthday to Yuki. We embarrassed her good XD
So, then we proceeded to take our fire hazard of a group to the pavillion place across the street to the EXTREME HETALIA GATHERING~!
dude, there was so much win from that gathering. The Korea from the gathering was so much like Korea, it was kinda scary XD
but yeah...singing, "The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music" in a man voice was quite something.
so, after the gathering, whoever was left, we sat in the lobby playing Down by The Banks (I say Down by the River, because that's what I know it as), but then I had to split and be fancy at the loli tea party.
the tea party was okay.
Kisa had an accent that reminded me of my Fashion teacher who is from Bulgaria. Seriously, it sounded the same!
so, our table (Crystal, Giovanni, Victoria, her sister, Nana, Imogen, and I) kinda ditched the tea party after having some sweets. Crystal and I set up our artist alley table and had an amazing sale.
We stayed open till the very last minutes of the con. While packing up, I saw a super cute little Aang cosplayer and got a pic~
said our byes to people and then went to Mimi's Cafe for some dinner and tax discussion.
Doing the math with teh money got nutty, but finally we came to the results. Taxes weren't that bad, and dinner was yummy. Said bye to Crystal, Giovanni, Wesley, Imogen, and josh, and headed on home.

I took a nice hot bath, omg it was wunderbar~~
then slept and I woke up at like 11:30am today (monday) XD

this whole weekend was pretty epic.

I don't know ho many of you read all of this, but thanks for reading!

See you~! ;D

  • Mood: Pain
  • Reading: I want to read Heart no Kuni no Alice soon
  • Eating: liquid diet, woo!
Well, sadly I have to cancel my room because I have no room mates anymore XD
(sorry Taylor! I tried!)

Anyhow, at least tomorrow I can work on my cosplay without having to be pressed for time.
Plus I'm skipping school like a bad little child, so YEYUH.

As for the Wisdom Teeth being pulled, DUDE, world of pain D:
The only reason for that is because my bloody tooth roots were CURVED, when they're not supposed to, AT ALL.
So it took like, 2 1/2 hours just to yank them out of my head XDD (I was there from 1pm to 6pm)
I felt like a wuss afterwards, cuz I started crying from the pain.
Apparently though, it's not supposed to take that long, but then again, not many people have freaky tooth roots like I do (THE DOCTOR ASKED IF HE COULD KEEP THEM TO SHOW OFF TO HYGIENE STUDENTS XDDD )
seriously, if you saw them you'd be like, "What's in the water you're drinking?" o.o
XD

anywho, hope to see you guys at Sabo!
I'm gonna post my photobucket like always and I'll have some AAtable picture spoilers for you guys tomorrow! ;3

See you~!
Ciao!
