Right!
I've FINALLY gotten around to writing my Blog post for Comic Con London 2014.
It was my first Expo ever, and I was super excited to meet Jessica Nigri, although literally 24 hours before Expo was meant to start her luggage got lost at LAX airport so she couldn't make it. She spoke to me on Twitter though! And followed me on Instagram!
SENPAI NOTICED ME
Anyway. It was a really early start on the Saturday morning, I got up at 4:30am so I could have a bath and wash hair. I then proceeded to do my make up, get my wig on, and get my outfit on. It then took us just over an hour and half to drive and park, which was really good time! And then the rain started. As you will see on my photos, the colour in my colour ran as I had only drawn it on, which really upset me. As we were there quite early it only took us about 30-40 minutes to get in.
And then.
I was in heaven!
My friends are more into comics, and I'm more into Anime, so every few minutes I was squaling because someone was in a costume I recognised. Someone was even dressed as Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia! I wish I'd had the guts to talk to him but I was so nervous.
We had a really good look round all the stalls, I spent waaay too much money! And it only took about 15 minutes to get food which I was surprised at.
The atmosphere and all the cosplayers and workers on the stalls are just amazing and fun and so nice!
Me and my friends are already planning to go back in October!
I had real trouble deciding who I wanted to Cosplay as -
It was a toss up between Ash Ketchum and Mirai Kuriyama.
Heres some photos of my cosplays -
In the end, I decided to go as Mirai! Because my friend had hand made the sword for me I thought it would be very ungrateful not to! Plus I think she's totally awesome and cute!
As you can see, my collar got pretty much ruined in the rain!
I was Mirai, my friend was old My Little Pony - Windy, and my other friend was Anna from Frozen!
THEN
I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Jean! I made a sign for Jessica to show we all love her ;)
It was so awesome meeting Kelly Jean, her cosplays are brilliant and shes a stunning lady.
All in all it was a really good day. I think in the future I would maybe not go on a Saturday as by lunch time, it was so busy we could barely move. Even though it was said that this year was their busiest year ever!
For anyone wanting to go their first con, this really is a good place to go, just throw yourself in head first! Next time I'm going to try and not be so nervous to ask for photos - thats my goal for October!
