So...well on our way to October expo, where I'm trying my hardest to lose weight for the Knight of Seven (Suzaku Kururugi)

Officially on day two XDv

Current weight @ 9st8lb...hoping to get down to about 9st.

That's ONLY 8lb How hard can it be? I even chopped off my hair to lose the excess weight XD (no joke...but I wouldn't call my hair fat)

Anyone else upping the exercise and diet regime?

Need to start on the cosplay soon *sobbs*

Ok, it's been almost a year since I last updated this Journal. Bad Ookamiaku...bad!

Well, first off the last MCM expo. Was Great...beyond great!!! UBER UBER!

Expo itself was a let down, with hardly any stalls...you could just do a once around and be done with it. But, the people that came were FANTASTIC! Most I only usually see in London for a couple of hours. But seeing them for basically an entire day was great.

Had :iconmatsumoto-san: up all weekend, which was great. Shopping and vegging out. ^^

Met with :icontousen218::icontheminiarkana::iconlove-for-the-dark: >.<; not all of you guys I know on DA...so forgive me please (Jnz, Faye, Chloe, Stce). It was sooooo so so great seeing you all again! All dorking around and having mega picnics etc.

Found some great guys there too.  :iconsmallfry09: (The most amazing Hiyori!!!! Letting Shinji have his wicked way with her horn...then kicking him in the face XDD)

All the other Vizards and I finally found a Fairytail cosplay! My life is complete =3 Hooray for topless Gray! I tried getting him down to his underwear, but he was having none of it...too cold for the little ice maker.

No forgetting :iconmalfoymation: or :iconmysticheero:, without whom I would be a lonesome dork.

My only down points were not getting to say goodbye to some of you guys and this one Naruto cosplayer that took things a little too far. I like Orihime as a character I think she's really sweet (plus I get to skip around as her and make googly eyes at malfoymation XD). But having someone that I don't know come up to me and just say out of the blue "you're crap!"...is a little bit hurtful, even if it's directed at the person you're cosplaying not you, yourself. (Thanks for sticking up for me Ichigo >3<)

We've updated ~Badassnotebooks www.youtube.com/user/BadassNot… Check it out if you like. We spent the days after expo making Bleach Omake videos. Ohhh so much fun. (I fall over on purpose - just so you know XD. It was painful though, I think I should go into stuntman things)
And those bewbs were a lot of fun! Not as fun as my male characters, but having them once in a while makes me remember I'm actually every so often a female XDDD

Up coming cosplays ~

May:

Izzy - Digimon
Ulquiorra Seguda Etapa - Bleach

October:
Ryuk - Deathnote

Ooooh, officially the third London Expo I've been to. Hooray for experience!

I must say, it was the easiest, hotest, friendliest, bestestestestest etc XDD

Had a truely AMAZING time. I'm still bloody sorting all of my photos O.o!!

Decided this time to go down by train instead of bus. Things had never been easier XDD...got out cosplays finished /before/ last minute for once...which was a miracle . We were so much ahead of ourselves that we thought we'd have a girl night before hand XDDD. This turned out to be us waiting at the train station for a few hours waiting for ~pommexkiss and eating cold Pizza XDD. (I still love you though >3<)

The actual expo was great, I was worried at first, with my costume being slightly revealing (Ok...just stomach and top thigh but still, that's an aweful lot for me). I ended up being so glad of the cosplay...the weather was soooo hot O.o! It was such a shock considering how bad the week had been.

Friday night and saturday night was spent getting drunk...having cups of tea...throwing Ulquiorra and Hisagi in bushes...drinking waterfalls...fish...Birthday cake (not fishcake btw)...looking for a place in london, beginning with V, next to a road with a man's name in it, that was in between Green Park and Picadilly (sorry brody XDD)...Aizen throwing up on the Sunday morning after stumbling around with me, Grimmy and Orihime to drop Tousen and Liam back at their hotels the night before.

Everyone looked great...and by great I mean Stupidly Epic XDD

:iconmalfoymation::iconpommexkiss::iconmysticheero::iconmatsumoto-san::iconbrodygrimmjow::iconplaguedoggie::iconxpixiesoulx::icontousen218:

You guys are teh BOMB! I had so much fun with you all. Can't wait till October!!

My friend recently lent me his PSP (for that I am eternally greatful), so I finally got to play FF7: Crisis Core.

I'm in love...with Puppy Zack (No, I don't mean I'm cosplaying Zack with puppy ears O.o). I've decided to start work on a Zack cosplay of when he first makes it to first class (so he'll still have the two flops of hair...not the one [like in the other FF's] and also have just got the black outfit)

It's such a great game...I'm upset that I had to give it back before completing it...but meh, I'll just have to save up.

Zack will hopefully be ready by May for London. All fingers and toes crossed.

Possible cosplays to create next year:

□ Zack Fair (FF7: Crisis Core)
□ Eve (Black Cat)
□ Kio Kaidou (Loveless)

I'm actually getting really into making Zack...is it sad that i've already started? *cough*yes*cough*

London Expo

Ok, I'm a few days late for getting this up...but meh, I've been indisposed.

Feel a bit like a twit...ended up forgetting Naomi's (Death Note cosplay) wig. Steph ended up playing Takada with a much brushed Ulquiorra wig XD. She actually looked amazing, loads like the character! (So I've forgiven myself a little)
Then I must have moved Light's belt or something, because it wasn't in the epic suitcase of epicness. So, Friday night we ran around London after the meet, looking for a leather belt that wasn't coated in union jacks.

Have now decided a few things:

I need to invest in a suitcase as mine (that fits the entire Death Note cast inside it) is on its last legs. The stands at the bottom are broken off, the pulling handle has a lump of plastic missing, the top handle comes off (broken by a manly builder DX ). Though memorable as I almost left it on the tube station, as only my handle got on the train with me *inner thoughts 'noooooooooooooo!!!!'*

I was a bit upset that we didn't dress as bleach at all on Sunday (I thought Hitsugaya was my main cosplay)...but only got to do him once - hence I wore his wig for the coach back. (I'm going through a slightly weighty time...so I didn't feel comfortable in L gear)

Went to Wagamamas on Friday night. Poor little Gin was ill, but another Gin was there (who I always seemed to meet in the hallway). Got to meet Craig, who was ACE! He was Kenpachi (and really needed to go bankai on the hairdresser for ruining his original wig). (Do it, you know you want to)

I met...my twin it would seem XDD (sorry, not meant to be offensive I swear). Another Hitsugaya cosplayer (she did the academy uniform and DDR - then Renji at other times). Well, we were both Hitsugaya...we both had two dangleys on our phones (the exact same Hitsu and Ully!), I cosplayed Ulquiorra on saturday...and she is cosplaying Ully in May O.o! Seeeeee!! And we're short...and we bought the exact same Hitsu wig!! *que twilight zone music*

Saturday: BRODY, BRODY LOOK THIS WAY!!!! Epic Bleach meet up, with a bashful Ukitake that can't stay still, Wonderweiss the lil'minx, Naruto cosplays by the plenty...getting their Kakashi butts kicked by Komamura (have a great vid of that - will upload). Drunkeness of Misa and Light, Futurama with Byakuya and party rings of love, cavewoman Matsu, Q.I.!Mikami and his half moon/crack O.o

Sunday: NEAAAARRRRRR!!! *huggles* I love my lil' Near. It was great to meet up with her again...and then have Matt massacre her poor little toes (that's why he's third XP). She was with a great Ryuk and a very frisky epically-wigged Mello (well...Matt was very pleased I must say XDDD). They were sooo ACE! Also, another Matt and Mello cosplayers joined us for a bit with bunny~Near. They were such lovely guys ^^ I think I've hunted down bunny~near on youtube....just need to search DA.

Thanks to Light/Aizen, Ukitake/Matt, Hisagi/Miyavi/Misa, Mikami/Gin, Matsumoto/Takada, Matsumoto/Momo, Near, Hitsugaya/Renji, Kenpachi, Ryuk, bunny~Near, Mello, Mello2&Matt, Byakuya/Hisagi, BRODY/Hisagi, Gin/Kira (some I didn't get to talk to...but hope we get a better chance to at another meet up) sorry for anyone I've missed out!
