Bloodsucker

Last month I tried doing makeup like the girl from VAMPS' BLOODSUCKERS album cover~

This is Halloween ♫

As Halloween is upon us, I thought I'd make a little post with some of the Halloween costumes and outfits I've done so far this month~

For Dystopiacon, an anime-themed early Halloween party at a goth club in Birmingham.

Messing around on a lazy weekend in:

Demon maid for Halloween karaoke:

Bonus: here I am on the flyer for the POP'N'CUTE Halloween event haha~

Tokyo Decadance: Rolly special

There's a club night I like a lot that happens about once a month in Tokyo, called Tokyo Decadance. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but it's a lot of fun. Every time there's usually a different dress theme, and as there's a slight discount on the entry fee if you follow the theme (or just generally dress up), people really go all out.

Back in May, Rolly (actor who played the crazy singing guy in the film Suicide Circle) was a guest performer, and as Rolly sometimes plays Frank N. Furter in Rocky Horror Show performances, there was also a small performance of some Rocky Horror songs by the Decadance team. I don't think there was an official dress theme this time, but most people went with Rocky Horror-inspired (and some full-on cosplays).

Although I had Dr. Furter in mind whilst getting ready, it didn't quite show in my outfit haha:

Hair accessory: Paris Kids

Top: Qutie Frash

Skirt: Bodyline

Waist belt: SEX POT REVENGE

Gloves: SEX POT REVENGE 

Make up

Before going, Chi and I took purikura, of course. 

She's an absolute pro at decorating these.

05/10/2013 - Paris Manga & Sci-fi Show and Nuit Blanche

Last weekend was the Paris Manga & Sci-fi Show. The event itself wasn't very interesting; mostly just shops, and it was very overcrowded, but I still had fun hanging out with people~

 I didn't bring any actual cosplays to France, so I did my usual lazy thing where I just throw together some clothes and a wig in the morning and try my hardest to look like an anime character:

Skirt: Rose Melody (Taobao)
Blouse: Warehouse
Tights: Lockshop
Shoes: Bodyline
Veil: Piece of material I found in my house lol

 I have no idea what I was supposed to be, but I had fun being it anyway~ 

I actually went alone, but after looking around everything once I ran into Christophe and a couple of his friends, so I joined them. Soon after that we found the adorable Nicole, who I'd briefly spoken to on Tumblr before. She joined us too. c: 

I loooove when people incorporate fandom T-shirts (her wig is kinda hiding it, but it's L from Death Note's logo) into good outfits rather than just wearing them with jeans or something C:

From that point onwards we pretty much wandered around chatting in English (as it's Nicole's first language too) while Christophe made us be in photos with like every single cosplay he (or we) liked haha 

Sashaaaa

We also had fun borrowing weapons for photos~

I felt like a video game character 8D

That night was Nuit Blanche (a yearly event where loads of museums/shops/galleries etc. in Paris stay open really late/all night), so after Paris Manga finished, Nicole and I decided to go home and get changed then meet up later. 

First we went to Notre Dame. I was super happy that it was part of Nuit Blanche, because since I first saw Notre Dame at night (it looks like a beautiful, crazy vampire castle), I'd desperately wanted to go inside it at night. It wasn't very well lit, so there was a lot you couldn't see at all, but it was still super cool! It was my first time going inside, though, so I'd like to go back some time when it's actually light enough to see. I'm generally not a fan of tourist attractions, but Notre Dame is just gorgeous. 

 It was wonderfully creepy with the terrible lighting. 

Notre Dame selfies lol

Neither of us really knew what there was to do because there was so much that there wasn't really a list or anything, so we decided to just wander for a bit and see if we could find anything. We didn't come across much, but I was just happy that I could go inside Notre Dame haha. In the end we went to a crêperie, then wandered around a while longer before calling it a night. 

Hyper Japan (Saturday & Sunday)

For the Saturday and Sunday of Hyper Japan, I cosplayed Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in her Pon Pon Pon outfit.

Even though I just bought the cosplay (from Bodyline!), it was really fun to wear, and I was able to meet a lot of Kyary fans that way. It made me happy that so many people recognised the outfit and wanted to take photos~ (I also got some entertaining reactions from the general public, like the group of large, fairly manly-looking men on the train who all started going "AWWW" when the doors opened to reveal me ahaha)

This Mikasa was lovely~ 

Actually, I spent far too much of the weekend just being excited about Attack on Titan cosplayers haha.

I met another Kyary (her Instagram)!

 SIRO-A

I actually have like 50 photos of this Attack on Titan group doing silly poses like these haha~

 The Sasha actually had a potato ahaha, aww

And just when I thought they couldn't entertain me any more... CLEANING LEVI

 VANIRU performed again, and I was able to get a photo with both of them after

Heidi! We forgot to take a photo together the first time we met (a few months back) lol. We had matching bags this time~

Subaru (Royz) cosplay

With my adorable friend, Risa

On that day, mankind received a grim reminder...

It was a really fun weekend!
