Hello everyone!
It's been a while, so apologies for the lack of updates ^^"

My best friend brought this to my attention. www.16bitsirens.com/consent/#.…

As a regular con-goer, I think that this is a very important subject to touch upon. Although, I believe that this issue is not as bad in the UK as it is in the US, I think that any cosplayer, photographer and con-goer can take part in this and raise awareness! Everyone has read some horrifying and disgusting stories about cosplayers getting harrassed at cons and we all can do something about it by taking part in this!

All you need is a whiteboard or even just a paper that says "Cosplay =/= Consent"! Snap a picture and share it with 16-Bit Sirens Facebook page found here! www.facebook.com/16BitSirens?r…

It's all for a good cause and to make the cosplay and con scene just a bit more safer and more enjoyable! Afterall, going to cons, fun, friends and cosplays are my main objective! : D

And I'm rather protective of my cosplayer friends ; )

So take part!

..and I feel sad as the convention was great fun with amazing people all around! So do not want to go back to work tomorrow...urgh!

First things first! Gotta give out a shout out to a few people : D


Miss you sweetie! I look forward to see you at the MCM in May! Had a great and fun time with you and Rhi! ♥


Mr. Bumble Bee! You seriously would not stay in one place! Even if I were to use superglue to glue you to a spot XD Was great seeing you and loved helping you with the Thane cosplay! Totally molested him when he wore the mask! Don't worry though! I had plenty of MEDI-GEL! How is your foot by the way?


Love, love, love you! You were so amazing and sorry that you were freezing so much! It was very chilly in Birmingham XP Hope you got home safely!


Miss Elena Drake/Yuna! You were such a pretty little thing! Was very happy to see you there with your husband! You two are lovely girls x3 And you need to tell me her name/DA as I did not catch it...yes, I'm very bad >.>


What can I say? Semi-naked Mephisto? Hmmmm! Didn't get to talk to you much, but was glad to see you the few times I ran into you : D

Did I forget anyone else? Hm...hope not! If I did, feel free to roll up a newspaper and smack me over the head with it!

Now! With that out of the way, I shall look forward to (ha!) go through the gazillion pictures I have taken and put them up on various places. For obvious reasons, I shall post all cosplay pictures here on my DA, a few of my favourite pictures on FB and the party pictures shall go onto the Kitacon forums if possible. If not...hm...don't really wanna post them on FB as my manager and boss are on it, so I might post them here on DA XD Or maybe I should start using Flickr... Any suggestions?

And onto future plans!
Now that I know that my crochet stuff sells quite well (7 brain slugs sold, gave the last 2 away to Claire (FemShep) and Michael (Garrus) and 7 pokeballs sold), I shall crochet some more for the MCM and start putting some money aside for Amecon... It has Bring & Buy! Which means I wouldn't have to sell it myself! w@ lol Totally not the reason why I wanna go...Ahem!
With Amecon being in a campus is quite appealing (thinking of the amazing pictures I can take outside if my crappy camera allows it). So yeah, the idea to go there has warmed up to me XD Think that this year will be my year where I have gone to the most cons. EVER!

Okay, time to wrap this up! It was lovely to see you all and having met new people! : D I shall look forward to see you guys soon and till then, rest up before the next crazy weekend! x3

And now I shall go ahead and play some Mass Effect to cure the withdrawel symptoms I have been experiencing and before I go on about the mammoth task of sorting and uploading pictures...

LOVE YOU ALL!

After a long debate with myself and my wallet, I decided to go to Kitacon 2012 with my best friend in Manchester !!!

WOOT!

It was a journey, make no mistake XD Finding a hotel, booking it, getting onto the waiting list for Kitacon.

And today I got the email that I'm being offered a spot in Kitacon! Yaaaaay! I paid it and now I shall anxiously await the day. Or the ticket if it's being sent to me via post. Then again, I'm not sure really XD It'll be my first time going there, so I have no idea whatsoever what's going to happen XD If anyone has gone, please shed some light!

I will be staying at the Hilton where the convention is going to take place (fancy and pricey, but after some encouragement from and me smacking my wallet, I went for it! w@)

If anyone is going there, I'll be more than happy to say hi and give out hugs!

People I'll definitely say hi to and hug (and possibly kidnap) are:

♥♥♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥

Not gonna kidnap you. You're not cute XD

Anyone knows if Mister I-got-a-big-hole-in-me-pants also known as is coming?



Sorry for the spazzing, but I'm just getting excited about it all XD Never been to any other cons other than MCM and Eurogamer XD

Okay, now I need to crochet a bunch of Brain Slugs, Pokeballs and Master Balls...

What a Saturday! Despite not feeling all that well during the week, I managed to pick myself up thanks to and had a great time at Hyper Japan wearing my InsertCoin Assassin's Creed hoodie and my crocheted brain slug (Futurama) which sported as well x3

Of course! Best thing at Hyper Japan were the cosplayers and the people I have newly met and seen again!

First of all I gotta have to mention ! One of the cutest girls I know and have met! First impression of her was pointing out that gaping hole in 's pant XDDD If that wasn't memorable, nothing else is! XD And of course, you are a trooper girl! Staying up all night to help with any cosplay dilemmas and styling all those wigs! We salute you!

And then is who didn't want to stand still XD Though by the end, he was the one who was falling asleep on :ChatterpieXIII:'s arm which created some fun! Shame we didn't have a permanent marker at hand at that time = P
Oh! And remember that gaping hole that was pointed out to me? I actually have a shot of it when they were on stage! XDDD Don't blame me! I just sat in the wrong (or right) spot at that time XDDD

And finally, the awesome and !!! OMG! Their cosplays were so amazing and the performance on-stage was the best! I had so much fun watching and taking a video of it! Speaking of video, it can be found here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrSF-7…
Both of them did an amazing job and I can't wait for MCM in May to see what other amazing things they are going to do! w@

Oh, and a little mention of how was so happy when I gave her that standard pokeball I crocheted XD Makes me happy to see that she got so happy about it herself lol

And even though I only went to Hyper Japan on Saturday, I still had tons of fun and good food! I hope to see everyone there again next year and at the MCM! = D

For now, it's back to work, continue uploading pictures of Hyper Japan and getting some crochet done!

Till next time everyone!

I've been working on it last week and during the weekend to set it up and now it's done! x3
It has only two listings at the moment, but I hope that I can add some more like my wearable brain slug and the golden apple from Minecraft : D

Feel free to have a look around! You can find the shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/GeekyCrochet…

Thank you~!
