Lolli Lolli Oh Lollipop

Woo~ Second mini-shoot under my belt. :D It was fun and I hope you guys (and you two) like them!

Here, we have bluestraggler as Chase and cursedinanime as Victor from Runaways.

Funny story: They wore these costumes to meet Jo Chen at her booth and she totally freaked out and pointed at them in recognition. I thought that was so cute. XD



( My faves. )

More photos here.

Oh and I got me an ACS account!

First off, hihi and welcome, dyaoka and cursedinanime! :)

Oh YCon. I love how we always go yet we always question why. But nonetheless, it was still the chill and fun weekend you'd expect.

I flew up this time because konishii and I had the brilliant idea to hang out in San Francisco for a day. Unfortunately, I forgot the con is only three days long so it was sadly a bit too rushed. :( Though we did get to visit Haight and Union Square.

I had to ride the BART from SFO to Powell. Boy, that was...fun. I had noooo clue how to use the freakin' ticket machines! The instructions did not help. I only figured it out when I peeked over the shoulder of someone who was just as confused and had asked for assistance, lol. Then, I accidentally passed my stop. The intercom was failing horribly. I couldn't hear the driver's announcements and the train seemed to have never been washed before so I could barely see out the windows at the signs at each stop. ;~; But. But! I got back to where I needed to be with a little help from ziggybecket. We then took a bus to Haight. That was not so fun -- too many people...too many weird people. 8|

Haight is, I guess, the area of bygone hippies. The vibe is still totally there but with slight hipster thrown in now. We we had yummy food at Asquew Grill. We had wanted to get things on skewers and somehow ended up with BBQ ribs and chicken not on skewers. Ah well. The food was pretty damn good though. I really loved the grilled zucchini sticks (more like flat, thinly sliced...things) and the buttery sauce it came with. :9 It was also nice that the guy who took our order was cute~

We perused a few stores. I came away with this hoodie from Loyal Army for $20 because it was missing a button which I found later to be in the pocket! But I kind of like my pin in its place instead. Though I can't button the hoodie up with it there; it's too big for the button hole, lol.

We also spent a bit of time in Union Square. I felt as if it could be reminiscent of New York City, even though I've yet to go there. There was just a crazy amount of people and cars going everywhereee. The Westfield mall is HUGE and quite high-end. I'm always surprised when a WF mall is high-end as I'm so used to the ghettoness that is Eagle Rock Plaza, haha. Though I think it's not owned by Westfield anymore? I'm not sure...Anyway, I ended up buying this uber cute knitted...short-sleeved cardigan thing at Macy's.

( My ONE SF pic, lol. )

I wish we could've spent more time in the city. I almost didn't want to leave to go to YCon, lol. Though I could've done without the crazies and nomadic homeless people. ^^;

ziggybecket kindly picked me up from SFO after I rode back to it via BART in which I was crammed like a sardine for three stops since it was rush hour and the Bay Bridge was still down. Ow.

After a couple last minute fixings and a shit ton of safety pins, Rengokuinn was ready! (Sorry, antieden for making you bring your sewing machine for me only to not use it. :x) It was really fun to act like the retard that he is. Thanks to nerdcore for letting me join and to lionboogy and Oscar for the photos! :) I think I'll make a robot or two if I decide to re-wear him.

( SCIENCE. )

More photos here and here.

Long shoot was long. Afterwards, I opted for sleep rather than delicious food because I was crashing from only having two and half hours of sleep the night before. I felt a bit lame for calling it a night around 11:30 pm. But augh, people kept on waking me up! T__T; I was especially annoyed at the two people who were sleeping in the "living room" part of the suite.

( Saturday through Sunday here, along with maid!Teito... )

( Con photos. )

More pics here.

Aahh, PMX. I'm a bit meh about it, but I have a feeling I will end up going for a day. I'm thinking Saturday. I've nooo idea what to wear though...hm. Any suggestions for re-wear?

YCon was funnnn. More funner than the last time I went two years ago. I don't know if it was cuz I had alcohol this year, haha. There were lotsa hanging out, especially in the lobby, groping, and all around fun. Surprisingly it was very relaxing and chillax. It was great seeing everyone, too. I only wish it last longer. :(

Friday
:: Wore Auel with bluestraggler in Sting~ We wandered, got bored and ended up taking over 9000 pics of ourselves cuz we couldn't find anyone to take them for us. XD;

I match the floor tiles. XD;
( Auel and Sting spam under here. )

Too bad there wasn't a basketball court. We had Nat's dodgeball Haro from Gundam 00. That would've been uber cute if you ignored the wtf crossover. XD

Got molested by everyone cuz of my man cleavage, especially by a very happy silver_ruby. XD
( :O )

The stupid tape I wore took off some booby skin along w/ it. Owwww. Lesson learned: Do not buy no-name brand sports tape from the 99 cents store. ;~;

:: I was the target of multiple from-behind attacks from people (more so from mangoichiban and asianschoolboy) with or without unlock's Grell chainsaw when I was chilling in the lobby. D:

:: Omg, Calpico + rum / made by evalime = way to stronggg. Sad thing was I wanted to finish it but I needed to sweatshop later.

:: Then I saws a naoekun! Omg, it was so good to see her. ;___; ♥

:: Sweatshop times w/o a sewing machine for Farfie's shirt. Oh god, it is so ghetto. XD; I GLUED the buttons on when I realized it was 4 am.

Saturday
:: Omg, busy day! @_@;

:: Scandalous yuri yaoi timez. We invaded slave_to_anime's room for gay Junjou Romantica times. It was hard for me to keep a straight face thanks to my You aka kiralikescake. XD;

:: Ok, y'know CHARLA? What started it all was CINNABONZ = Cindy + Bonnie. LOL.

:: Then it was Weiss Kreuz times. I was sorely tempted to pose like I was in a boyband...>.>; It didn't help that we had our own groupies consisting of whitelilacs, tenshiyaki, bluestraggler, naoekun and a few others I didn't exactly know. XD

Schwartz was outnumbered. ;__; *clings to Brad/sephtastic*

:: Niou had some pics, too.

( +1 )

:: Yummy Japanese foodage times w/ Niou!bluestraggler and Yagyuu!sharpie~ :3

( +2 )

We had a few wrong turns. But that's to be expected if it's Niou driving. XD

: : Expensive hotel drink is expensive. It wasn't that great either. :|

:: BKI times at nighttt~ Sadly the bushes I wanted to use was really wet so we ended up using the courtyard/gazebo area which is y'know soooo correct for the time period of the series, haha.

( We are sexy. :3 )

♥ you silvernaofficer, praedestinatio, and Astro~ Thank you for letting me drag you guys into this. XD Reprise at Fanime maybe? :O

:: Drunkage times, wee~ Well, I was just really happily buzzed. Walked around with whitelilacs. Was gonna go to Charla's party but heard they were all done and gone by then (it was like...1 or 2 am I think), so we ended up in the lobby with a buncha people until an ungodly hour.

Sunday
:: Hetalia grouppp~ I wanted to hug y'all, especially America and Italy. And steal Russia's vodka. So cute. .__. The flags were a nice touch. XD

Now I wanna know how Taiwan looks like...or see if there's anyone else I can be.

:: Butler cafe! Ate scones, sammiches, and cookies among other things with naoekun, bluestraggler, and picked up a tasu and her friend at our table. It was uber chill minus the tennis wars b/w our table and the next, lol.

Got a rose at the end~...which died on the drive back down. ;(

( +3 )

:: Roamed around for a bit by myself. Bought a disappointing Darker Than Black doujinshi. I don't even know why I grabbed it, it's Kouno/Li which...I cannot understand cuz the two had very little contact in the series.

I also finally tried my luck w/ one of those D.Gray-Man chibi figures that I had my eye on since Fanime. I wanted either Kanda or Rabi (Why do I have an affinity towards surly characs? Or the really happy ones? ) but got Allen. Ah well, he's cute, too~ And it wasn't the one w/ his mutated arm. XD;

I also bumped into Daniel and we chatted it up a bit. He might do Free from SE soon. >D

More pics here~ It seriously is not much. Majority of it is of Nat, lol. Whut.

The weekend went by a wee bit too fast. ;( It was great seeing y'all Nor Cal ppls (and of course So Cal'ers) and thank you to all the photographers who took pictureesss~ ♥

Next up is ACC I believe? I don't even know what I'll be wearing to that. Definitely something old, any suggestions? I'm tempted to just go in civies and take photos. Maybe a Burger King crown cuz it'd be the day after my birthday. :3

Also anyone going to PMX? I'm tempted but I dunno. And as for ALA. I think I'll pass after being pwned right between the eyes by hard candy during masq halftime last year and being perpetually BORED at the con with or without a badge all other times I've gone. I'll totally join you guys if you go out for lunch or dinner though. Just gimme a call, I'm like 10-15 min away.

Also, hii welcome to my journal konishii, tenshiyaki and yoshikochan~ :D

Er so...as far as I know...Y-Con scheduule is as follows:

Friday
: Auel [Gundam SEED Destiny]?

Saturday
: Shinobu Takatsuki [Junjou Romantica] - morning
: Farfarello [Weiß Kreuz] - afternoon
: Youjiro Akizuki [Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto] - evening?

Sunday
: Open - but it is the last day...

And PJ!Auel for a certain party~ I need to get a yellow shirt though. I don't want to wear his J.Lo shirt + side tape binding while partying it up. That can't have good consequences at all, lol.

I need some serious organization and motivation and concentration... in order to finish all the shit I need done. *dies*

So I still need to:

Akizuki:
[-] Finish top - need decorative buttons
[-] Make hand covers - need velcro + string
[ ] Make cape + decorative buttons - no time, I'll make it later
[x] Hem hakama
[x] Style wig
[ ] Modify dress shirt collar - add height + hem tape - no time, will fix later

Auel:
[-] Re-make necklace and spray paint it cuz I lost it once (stupid me for leaving it outside to dry and then the wind blew it away) and then over-baking the 2nd one just to have my dad also accidentally throw it away...
[x] Spray paint parts missed on gun and find other gun
[ ] Print out 2 OMNI patches, iron onto red fabric
[-] Cut out white and red strips for OMNI coat

Farfie:
[ ] Make shirt
[ ] Make leg straps

Things to buy:
[x] Yellow shirt for PJ!Auel? Or think of someone else to do PJ version of.
[x] String for Akizuki's hand covers - shoelaces?

Reminders (not that I think you guys need them but just in case and so I remember, too lol):
:: unlock - eyepatch for Farfie would be lovely~
:: nerdcore - white wig for Farfie (or I could be a red head...) and grey contacts for Shinobu ♥
:: kiralikescake - wig for Shinobu! :3
:: silvernaofficer - katana for Akizuki

People in Ycon room are:
:: Me (duh)
:: silvernofficer
:: praedestinatio
:: bluestraggler
:: vpshinra
:: Molly
:: maybe naoekun *crosses fingers*

Room is for two nights. Friday - Sunday (checkout).

Price for entire weekend should be roughly $50-60 not counting Jet.

Ok, I think that is all.

Jumping on the bandwagon! I kinda need the list anyway. I have a lot to do for Akizuki...>_<;

Schedule:
Friday - uh?
Saturday - Junjou Romantica, Weiß Kreuz
Sunday - uh?

To be placed: Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto, Gundam SEED Destiny

Too lazy to type all those usernames. You know who you are~ ♥

( Ycon To-Do List )

Y-con report time cuz I'm sick of shading and I will prolly pull an all-niter again anyway. *sigh*

There were a handful of things that went wrong that made me want to pull outta going to Y-con, but I'm glad I went cuz I got to see and hang out w/ ppl I normally don't see often, mainly the NorCal peeps. ♥ y'all. Wish we hung out a bit more though? =(

I didn't register at all, lol. The con itself, I felt was boring. Quite immature for being 18+, but I guess it's something that comes w/ the yaoi fandom? I saw many things I did NOT need to see and I didn't even attend any of the con events. >_>; I also thought the con was bigger? Better? I don't know...it's the rumors I tell ya.

I learned how to walk in 7 1/2 inch platform boots...and survived! @__@; I can now cosplay TALLer characs!

I can't wait to see the pics that were taken. Thanks to all who took pics~ I will prolly spam y'all on LJ once I find them. XD

I don't know why, but I thought ziggybecket's bug was lime green, ahaha. Also met his posse at Max's. Nice to meet y'all and same goes to the random ppl I met like Ghostbustah Dave and Mel. ^^

I don't think I've heard about Cori, Cluracan, John, etc. as much as I've had this past weekend. silvernaofficer, praedestinatio, you two are funny when u spaz. XD I am curious as to how much money'd be in Oscar's jar, lol.

The drive down felt like it took WAAYY longer than the drive up. I don't know why...It's supposed to be the other way around. Maybe cuz we had to go back to real life and we were flailing the whole way down. D: Someone invent teleportation already! Then we can beam from SoCal to NorCal all we want and vice versa in a matter of seconds!

Kinda wished we went into SF. Never did have my clam chowder in a bread bowl, ahah. Or window shop in Union Square. Oh wells, there'll always be next time. Maybe Xmas w/ Mi?

To those I owe money, u will get it in due time and thank you kindly for spotting me.

*edit* Oi, I forgot that Raito and Light-o went on a date-o at the restaurant in Clarion. XD Twas hilarity that no one got cept for a special few, lol.
