I ordered a wig for the Shou cosplay as I didn't want to start to play with my own hair (it being too dark anyway) and I found the perfect one for only 18 quid! Of course I had to cut and style it completely different from the original, but I was really pleased how it turned out!
The wig before...
and the Wig after!
So I pretty much "made" half the stuff myself what I needed for the casual outfit. 3€ kids T-shirt from Hobbypoint, 4€~ paints from Hobbypoint (painted the Tamiya logo and ALSO the shoes lol!) Brown cardigan for 2€ and then Airin found me 2€ black pants (will be shown later) from UFF so, this is what I call "budget cosplay" guys! Maybe I should start a budget cosplay blog just for shits & giggles (me, Maija & Maaret talked about this in the train back to Helsinki on sunday, haha. I bet I would be super popular!)
☆ S A T U R D A Y ☆
So the trip started with sad HUEG can of energy drink! (I can't live without sum ES anymore... I'm drinking it _all_the_time) Then jumping off from train in Lahti and following all the crazy people to Sibeliustalo. So we walked and walked and walked and it felt like (at least to me) we had walked for hours eventho it was only about.. maybe 20min or something? but in -10'c it felt freaking horrible.
Airin & Maija went to throw our stuff to the greenroom and I was left downstairs as I wasn't allowed to go there... and it was the most horrible time ever because it's been... well... about 6 years since I've last been in a con and I just had no fucking idea what to do so I just stared everyone like "ó_ò hwjshjhshj..." but I knew I would feel 100% better once I could throw on my own cosplay as I would just blend in with the rest and wouldn't stick out so much.
Before we could actually start doing our make up or anything, Airin had her "Help, my friend is a fujoshi" -panel and it was really funny! But before she even started, she suddenly pointed behind us and went all "OMG KATI LOOK THERE'S ANOTHER KENJI SHAJGJHGSJHA" and guys. I COULDN'T FUCKING BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN I TURNED AROUND. It took me 2 seconds to jump up from my seat and run to her to ask if I could take a photo of her! I was shaking and going all "OMG YOU LOOK AMAZING OMG WE'RE COSPLAYING GOLDEN BOMBER TOO OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THEM OMG OMG OMG" and hahah I'm sorry if I shocked you by being all crazy but my emotions, my emotions!!! and I only realized afterwards that we never asked what your name/nick was so sfghfshgd it was so cool to meet you anyway and thanks for taking part on our video! (; 3 ;)/
女々しくて女々しくて
女々しくて辛いよ~!
女々しくて辛いよ~!
(btw plz ignore me, I look like a 50 year old jrocker lolol)
(totally for my own kenjifapfolder)
And supposedly I'm the "Kenji expert" *grhm* I had all the honors to cut and style Airin's hair! (except Maija shaved the side because I pussied out) oh Airin Y U LOOK SO MUCH LIKE KENJI! ♥
Our checklist for the weekend was as follows:
✖ FIND SOME LADIES
✖ FIND SOME FANGIRLS
✖ TAKE DERANGED VIDEOS

✖ PROFIT

We indeed had an epic plan to make a super video out of this crazy weekend and now we have a ton of material that just needs to be put together and uploaded to youtube or something. So we went around asking people "Who's the cutest one~?" and they just had to point out the one they liked. Our first victim was Stuf who was cosplaying Madoka from 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ! We thought his costume was the best of the best, so ofc we had to take a picture with him....
Around 4pm Maija had her "No.6 in 3min" -panel (as I call it) and I kept spamming my Instagram with pictures of everything at the same time. Me and Airin didn't have proper suit shoes for the cosplay so we went with matching creepers! It was so funny as they're quite heavy shoes to walk with, we both were walking with a gangsta limp..
It was time to EAT and I got my yummy 3€ lunch (thanks girls for sharing the price! and yes I might be small but I eat like a horse..) and we found BISUARU-KEN (Visual-Ken) for 5€!! (that later on Airin bought because omfg Afroken-stuff for that CHEAP!)
Final panel was Pararin's "Tito Kubo's mastertroll" aka "how shitty Bleach is" -panel and oh sweet jesus what ENTERTAINMENT! I was extremely tired and my contact lenses started to feel uncomfortable as much as all the binding I had, so I was super cranky but I enjoyed the panel a lot! I think after this we decided to take the final photos outside and then leave to get our shit off and go to sleep.
- NO IKEMEN, NO LIFE -
@ Emilia's place we found another Afroken!
But.. something happened and it turned out that it was actually AfroMaija, not Afroken....
☆ S U N D A Y ☆
Sunday morning rain is falling~ NO no, we decided to jump in a taxi as we were way too lazy to walk all the way to Sibeliustalo again and it was freezing plus we had our heavy bags PLUS I _hate_ snow, so 6 minutes and 15€ later we were back in the con and ready to start filming and goofing around again!
Not sure why I look so pissed off, but fixing make up and hair in the bathroom feat. Maaret! And Maija was our ghetto JunJun with her nebula shirt, bitches LOVE nebulas!
Pararin flipped Airin 180' & me, Airin & Pararin united our iPhones in an unholy trinity!
Ah! My favourite part, eating!
We started to feel hungry again and we hadn't eaten anything the whole day. Then suddenly we heard an announcement for free spots in the onigiri workshop and the first ones that would get to the info desk would get to go. So we immediately run to the desk to sign up, paid the 2€ and run back to the other side of the place as quickly as we could.
I ate so SO much and I ate even the leftover tuna and salmon.... AND the seaweed.....
We only stayed for about.. 3/4h or something.. There wasn't much to do anymore plus we had filmed everything we needed AND we had managed to do everything what we had on our list! We had a "date" with 2 beautiful ladies (Maija & Maaret), people took photos of us, we made a bangya and we had a bunch of random photos and videos on our phones!
Don't try this at home, kids!
"..that someone else knows them" GURL, golden bomber is pretty big thing these days! XD i don't even listen to them but i know so much stuff only because they're every__where. and i don't even have friends who listen them, either, so.... :D they're really famous.
ReplyDeletebut both of you did awesome job!
and that man with beard and dress is awesome.
Anon: I know, I know! I've been watching them grow for over a year now, but I mean in Finland :3 not many seems to know them here OR then we were just in the ~wrong group~ since most of the visitors in desucon like manga & anime only (or that's what it feels like to me..)
ReplyDeletebut thanks! Stuf was awesome! Not many guys can pull of a pink dress that well ;)
+ I don't actually follow the finnish fandom so I have no idea if they are big or not in here.. so maybe I'm wrong, but not many people recognized us in there anyway ^^;
ReplyDeleteKati, why are you so cute? :P
ReplyDeleteYou all look so cute and that's a cheap ass wig for sure, bargain!
