Fuckin' Father wants to come, i'll use ma magic on him.

I sort of wanted to go, but i'm not sure if anyone I know is going. So instead i'm staying in bed

>>5110523
Britag, his boyfriend and me are getting ready.
Saw some good costumes last night, a lit of shit too though.

Anyone on here at MCM at the moment? Just waiting for Eurocosplay finale to start here.

Anything planned for Sunday? That's the only day I'll be there.
I intend to buy all the merch.

I think I'll swing by with a friend, we're still in cosplay though since we cba to get changed! So don't judge us if we look a bit shitty after a day's wear lol

Friends of mine are there as an Arkham Asylum guard and Scarecrow. If anyone spots them, care to swing a photo my way?

Thread bump.

Left the /seagull/ gathering really early. Had stuff to do :S

So how was everyone's Saturday?

>>5112245
Pretty amazing, considering I was super sleepy at like, 10! Hoping my pictures turn out nice, was wearing a sort of dream costume even if it was a bit rushed!

Only went on the saturday, first ever convention. Was interesting.

Meet up was OK. I should have planned out where/what we would be doing before hand and personally not being able to drink totally sucked. I'd go again today but my feet are covered in blisters and I didn't get in till 3 last night.

This was the only photo I got. Took it as I was walking back to my car to drop some stuff off. Sorry for the quality.

I got the impression that people were friendly but that not much actual meeting up or getting to know new people was going on, is this normal?

>>5112810
Yeah. Some people went to hang out in some ones room. That was slightly more open. What we really needed was some kind of apartment style room or warm weather so we could play drinking games and what not to break the ice.

>>5112844
We went on to play truth or dare, which was hilarious.

Trip taken off becuse nothing is to leave that room. Ever.

>>5112889

Shuckle, dat you? Blue? Pirate Toaster? I'm just guessing here.

Those names are the only ones familiar to me other than Felix and Zom, both of whom I know left before or after I did. Which was 5 mins into the gathering.

expo has been fun today, hung out with a bunch of assassins and am currently chilling out while they get recorded for cosplay fever.

>>5113055
I must have seen like 3 dozen assassins on saturday.

Oh my god, who is this woman presenting the Sunday masquerade? She's awful, take her away please :/

>>5112889
>>5113044
Noting really happened that was horrific. Someone got a little drunk and was saying/doing some cringe worthy things. Although I left around 2ish so I may have missed something.

>>5113076
That guy was good.

>>5113044
I went there, but I left before they played truth or dare which I wish I hadn't, it sounded like a lot of fun. My anon friend didn't get back til 7am and I was jelly. Plus I'm grumpy she's sworn to secrecy on what was said lol

Today I've had a lot of fun dressed as Pamela Isley, getting changed for nighttime Panty photoshoot soon

>>5113120
They have a night-time panty photoshoot at the expo? Also were you there on saturday as her? saw several poison ivy's.

>>5113127
Nah it's just a friend taking some nice pictures for me, it's a bit of a test run since I'm not sure if I'll be a good Panty.

I wasn't Ivy yesterday (I was one of the MANY Stockings) but I know what you mean, there were a lot of Ivys around and some of them were gorgeous. I did pre-Ivy Pamela today, with labcoat and whatnot. Bit obscure really lol.

>>5113152
I would have used my labcoat in a cosplay but I also do actual science with it and it was not very clean on saturday. And if you were stocking I probably have a picture of you from saturday if you were paired with someone dressed as panty.

did logseux make an appearnace?

>>5113167
That might also have been me. Which version was it?

>>5113183
>>5113167
I was 'default' Stocking, with a prop Katana and I was with a Ball Panty?

Felix which were you I got some nice pictures with a couple of other Stockings?

>>5113200
I was one of the Police Stockings with a Police Panty on the Saturday

>>5112245
good, but waited to see Fullmetal Fantasy at the Vic M talk and the Fucking DVD died! C.U.N.T, wasnt vic's fault but the Expo guys really fucked that one up! he said that e would play it sunday, but we were only there for saturday!

>>5113212
>attended anything Vic related
Faggot detected, please get off /cgl/.

>>5113183
Not really watched the show much... I have a panty and stocking in belly exposing white tops and RTPD caps, purple convention wristbands, panty had a white pistol and red fluffy handcuffs. Seems I only got pictures of one pair of them.

>>5113223
Ah that would be me
Could you email me the photos?
Email in email field.

>>5113228
Only took one picture but sure.

>>5113228
Aww I saw you around a few times but was a bit too shy to say hi. You looked great! I'm the retard that kept saying 'police panty & stocking!' every time I saw you to my friend, so sorry if that's cringingly embarassing. Derp.

>>5113228
Its sending... slowly. Its probably you, most of the others I saw were not in police costumes.

>>5113247
Got it, thanks, yup that's us. Thank you kind anon.

>>5113216
actually wnated to see FmF for the other voice actors! was there for the Steampunk talk and then just sat there! now Chush Sunt!

>>5113255
No problem. Hope I did not appear creepy when I asked for a picture, had never been to a convention before. Also kind of wish I had started visiting this board before I want not after, would have been nice to talk to some people from here while I was there.

>>5113257
*before I went

Got held up by a restaurant so i didn't make it ¬.¬ Still, was a good day ^^ how'd it go?

Was a great day Saturday, I was only there one day and didn't go to the meetup but really enjoyed my first cosplay. Now I've got plans for next years' costume with my friend matching. Can't wait!

>>5113285
What meetup?

I was around, ended up heading back to a pals place for some more personal things. I got a nice hoodie and met some peeps there too.

I ran by today, looked a bit quiet now though?

No clue if anyone saw me from /cgl/ but I was just walking about like so!

Next one in May yes?

I had THE BEST time
For real
Anybody else see dat Dick Dastardly or The Mask?
Both were awesome.

Also who ate all my brownies after I left
Just curious

>>5113825
I had a couple. They were delicious, thank you!

Anyone get any pictures of a blonde Catwoman on Friday and Saturday?

>>5113858
Awesome, glad you liked 'em!
I was a bit nervous about how they'd taste because I changed the recipe at the last second due to running out of the right sugar, so phew.

Where do you UK cosplayers get your cosplaying supplies?

>>5113825
I had one but got concerned that I'd eaten someone else's food since you'd left. They were super nice though!

Shuckle got mad I ate one of his his smints, so I became a bit paranoid it seems...

>>5113044
Not me - just got in.
Oh man am I dead. I got like 3 hours sleep thanks to a rather talkative someone~
Oh well - home now.

I have to be honest - I fucking loved the meet, everyone was so nice and so much fun!
Thankyou everyone!

>>5113867
Aww you shouldn't have been, they went down a treat! It's a shame you couldn't stay, it was a lot of fun.

>>5113922
Great, thank you, I'm glad you thought so.

>>5113930
I'd have loved to have stayed and played Truth or Dare and everything else, but I didn't have a choice sadly. I'll try my best to stay later come May though.

Oh man.
600 miles in two days, fun fun. Next time I'm getting a hotel room at Custom House.

How many /cgl/ people were at the meet?

I had so much fun at the meet and then hanging out with a few of you today too. Thank you for a wonderful time!

If I ever did cosplay and go to one of these meets I feel I would be the only one not dressed as an anime or manga character.

>>5113987

Naw man, we coo'!

>>5113987
Not in the least.
We had some vidya characters and I stripped down to normal clothes fast enough.

>nearly no photos

What. Is there another thread or something? I'd dump... but I took like 1 and it was awful. My camera is shit.

>>5114053
I posted some here >>5111084 but my camera did not seem to do well in the lighting conditions, most of the pics are crap.

Welp, looks like I missed the meetup again.

I suck at this socialising thing.

>>5113945
About 12-17?

>>5114053
LETS CHANGE THAT!

>>5114085
Few people did... I was late back from redoing my cosplay stuff, had to be led to a pub, haha.

Outside was cold, after all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHAA_CgWKpU

SAXTON HAAAAAAAAALE

>>5114100
Apparently one or both of those girls posts here?

>>5114097
>outside was cold
people kept saying this
I was snuggly and warm

>>5114106
Both girls.
PirateToaster and Felix.

>>5114106
Both of them.

Try and guess which ones! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

>>5114110
You were in a goddamn suit, not shorts.

>>5114117
>not wearing a suit to a bar

i thought i was the youngest
and yet the most mature

I will probably post some pics tomorrow evening after I go through and resize some of the ones that did not come out horribly.

>>5114123
It was in cosplay, and besides, you didn't even come to the room party, you baby!

>>5114123
Somehow I have to agree here.

>Someone walks past as I take this photo
>"Hey mate, you've got red on you"
>Everyone laughs

>>5114134
I was there for like ten to twenty minutes or something.
Also keep dumpin' bro, saving all of these.

>>5114143
They're already up on my dA but these are the originals.
http://joodude.deviantart.com/gallery/33493120

a nice photo of one of our Anons

>>5114097
At least I'm not the only one then.

Cute overload

weird question, does anyone know why there was an ambulance parked up by the statue today?

>>5114167
Huh. Gues I left before then.

>>5114100

Is Felix the Stocking? She's really pretty. Pirate kinda has a boyish face though

It was something to do with the Just Dance 3 thing, I think. Someone must have tripped up or something.

>>5114206
Aye Felix is the Stocking.

>>5114206
>Pirate kinda has a boyish face though
Better?

>>5114226
oh geez those genderbend Scanty and Kneesocks are a little terrifying.

But I'm more distracted by the Cooro cosplayer in the bg

>>5114226
>>5114100
hnng... just found this on flickr

>>5114259
god

damn

Did Logseux and Beckii Cruel have a fierce lesbian make out session as intended?

>>5114259
ohshit, wow.

There's loads of photos of Pirate and Felix around it seems. I swear me and Micnax got enough taken, yet we only see one with Micnax in the background.

Ohwell. I'm sure they'll pop up.

>>5114294
Doubtful. Beckii didn't make the meet anyway. Apparently everyone was leaving and it was cold.

>>5114295
trip broke ;;

>>5114100
I saw them, wanted a picture, got intimidated and just walked away. Sobs.

>>5114226

Yes, but now the rule63 lobster demon brothers are freaking me out. ;_;

>>5114303
But they're like the friendliest pair you could hope for!

Oh man guys, I'm nOt even home yet stop posting photos of me. EXPO STILL ISNT OVER FOR ME I HAVEN'T STOPPED DRINKING YET.
Totally chillibg with some anons, THUG LIFE,

Such an awesome day. My boyfriend and I were Team Rocket grunts - if anyone has any photos, I'd love to see them.

>>5114311
I was looking for you before I left. Phone died, so I spent an hour looking for someone I knew before I went home. Found nobody. ;;

>>5114307
Probably very true, but I'm a massive pussy.

P&S, if you remember a Dave from Homestuck just looking, camera in hand, smiling a bit and then quickly running away... hi, I'm sorry I suck balls.

>>5114314
Were you at the pokemon meet? i was the trap Hilda

>>5114328
Yeah! We were at the pokémon meet. I remember seeing you at some point. I was in a black grunt uni and I'm quite short

>>5114341
Ahh, I think I remember seeing a couple of rocket grunts there~

I took no photos at all though ^^;

>>5114328
I took a photo of you and Ruby... shit bro, until you spoke you had me completely fooled. Very impressed.

>>5114349
Haha, thanks.... and yeah, I may need to work some on getting a female voice. Any chance of posting the photo? C:

Since I found this board after I went to the con I am now wondering how many of you people I have pictures of apart from Felix and Pirate.

>>5114259
>>5114281

I need to make a note to add a watermark when I get home and start doing the photos.

Original source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aoshi_88/6293109688/in/photostream

>>5115011
I have about 50 because we went to do a private photoshoot.

I was mostly holding a flashgun though :V

Kind of annoyed I did not know about the meet as I went alone this time, next time I will have a friend and as nice as I am sure you all are I doubt I will introduce her to a bunch of people from 4chan.

>>5115044

Now now... that just was just as important as holding back plant leaves.

>>5115035
thought I recognised the name when I found it... but there was only like 3 photos of the expo so it seemed pointless giving the source

>>5114110
Some of us where smart to wear thermals.

>>5114314
Hey, I totally saw you guys!

Here's me and my mate.

>>5115230
Not much you can do about being cold when your legs, arms or midriff are bare.

I was the Celty on the right. It was good talking to the people at the meet and I regret not staying around for the night with you guys.

>>5115231

GTFO of cgl Joslin

Pictures from me will be posted sporadically.

Requesting any/all pics of the saturday one piece group

>>5114167
Late reply, but I heard someone damaged themselves on the Just Dance machine. Nothing serious too though I don't think

>>5115235
So that's another anon from here I ran into and took a picture of.

>>5114303
Awww, I'm so sorry if we intimidated you, that was probably my fault as my default expression seems to look pissed off...

>>5114226
>>5114100
Cheers for the photos!~

Aw man, just got home and I'm so tired. My mum had to drive my car so that I didn't crash on the way back. My feet are killing me as well...But it was so fantastic to meet everyone at last!

>>5115413
I dunno about the default expression thing, haha. Was a fun meet and night thereafter.

Also you and Felix seem to pop up everywhere in my search for photos so far. None of the rest of us though, baww

>>5115413
>My feet are killing me
Have you found the greatness of I cold gel pack on ouched feet?

Guess I may as well post this, sorry for the quality.

>>5115438
damn picture did not go on.

>>5115438
You're right, the quality IS awful, I can't see anything at all!

>>5115419
I've found one of us on DA, but that's already been posted here. I'm so tired I'm not in the mood for photo searching D:

>>5115430
I'm gonna crack out my portable foot spa in a bit, after my bubble bath~

>>5115440
Haha oh man, looks like you caught me in between facial expressions or something, thank you though~

>>5115452
No problem, at the time I had no idea there was a /cgl/ meetup.

Also if any of you post what costumes you were wearing I can have a look for you and post them when I get back home later if I have a photo of you, no promises on quality though.

I'm home, and I have con aids, yay.

Had fun during the weekend though, had planned on being penguin all day saturday and pyg all day sunday, but I wasn't happy with the blend of my new prosthetic, so I was pyg most of the weekend, which was a lot of fun, I got to act like an absolute fucking pervert, should be fun if I get into the cosplay fever music video ;)

There was a LOT of THIS
>>5115350
Going on all weekend =D

doubt any of you have any but I was a 40k Ork running around on saturday and sunday, did anyone manage to get a picture of me. I saw a good few photographers and general cosplayers taking pictures of me but noone gave out DA and such.

If you guys had your picture taken by me I can always drag it out just got my pictures uploaded. And to the Tauren Death Knight, you were epic and I respect that you must have been dying in that suit.

>>5115481
why luminous green?

Damn, there are some talented cosplayers in the UK.

>>5115523
0/10

So much Adventure Time and Ponies. It made me happy to see barely any Naruto compared to some years.

Disappointed by the lack of Ace Attorney. There was loads last October, all I saw this year was a Maya, an Edgeworth and the Gumshoe

>>5115481
That's supposed to be an Ork?

That is fucking terrible, why the fuck do so many 40k players think that they look, not only good, but fucking PASSABLE as the characters the do?

Orks are fucking HUGE, you are not.
Please, never wear that shit again.
It looks bad, and you should feel bad.

>>5115533
There was a HUGE gathering of Naruto cosplayers at the side of the docks.

Also, who else hates that naruto cosplayer with the shitty outfit, long blonde hair and free hugs sign?
I'm not sure he has ever washed that outfit

>>5115535
I feel the love mate, some of us are in situations where we can't afford to spend hundreds of pounds on fine details. I got a good few compliments, but then again I forget with anonymity comes altered mental state. I'm not saying I look like a perfect Ork. If anything I'm a piss poor grot or snotling, I just got what I could and had fun.

>>5113922
I'm a bit late for this. I wasn't mad 'cause you ate one of my smints. I had stolen the whole packet from an anon anyway!
Sorry if I scared you away ;_;

>>5115540
Can't afford to do it right?

DON'T FUCKING DO IT.

>>5113825
Ohgod, missed this post. Them brownies were god tier. Also I kept sitting on bits of brownie so it's all over my cosplay.

Clearly they liked me too.

>>5115551
I need to make sure my trip is there more, what the hell.

>>5115540
If you don't have the money for a good costume don't do one. I don't understand why people can't grasp that concept.
Save the money and work on making something worth presenting.

>>5114314
I saw you two there, nice outfits.

>>5115550
I do apologise that my costume isn't up to perfect standards but I had fun. Mind if I see your picture perfect costume? With your body type? Fine details, voice and no photoshop used for this convention? I would very much like to see how you did, or are you just another person judging other people who had fun? I met up with the 40k guys, although the costumes weren't picture perfect, they were nice people and we had a good old laugh.

>>5115550
are you one of those people who sits down looking at cosplay pictures shouting out "BUT THAT'S WRONG" at your computer screen

he had fun, calm down

>>5115551
>>5115553
>people liked my brownies
Oh man, I'm so gonna make some more for May then. Might even bring some muffins next time too.
Glad you liked 'em man.

>>5115551
You got them all over my bed too. By the time I realised they weren't pot brownies the only remnants left were plastered to someone's arse so I didn't get to taste the rumoured brownies.

>>5115559
i wish I was more like that! I go for easy to do cosplays out of fear of being told I'm doing it wrong. ;_;

>>5115561
I shall also be sure to supply something edible next time too C:

Though I did put half in for the vodka.

>>5115559
He does not need to have a perfect costume to see that yours is shit.

Do you have to be a chef to realise you are eating a turd with a sprig of basil?

>>5115564
I didn't get THAT much on my backside...

I wish.

>>5115565
>>5115561

I shall make myself available for May. Couldn't turn down a proposition from a lovely lady friend, so sorry for that :c

I'll bring /fit/ cookies and shit, They are YUMMY AS FUARK!

>>5115561
Nope Blue, I'm one of those people who makes an effort on costumes and spends an appropriate amount of money to make them look good.

>>5115559
You want to see one of my "picture perfect" costumes, with my body type? OK then, look up at this post here:
>>5115350

That's me, as Professor pyg, that costume is nigh on /perfect/ to the source material, with extreme attention to detail.

>>5115564
As long as you feel you did the best you could in the time/ money and skills you have. It doesn't matter what the naysayers and perfectionists say. We don't all have the money of our parents or trust funds or even good jobs. As long as you tried your best and get into the mood of having fun go for it. I know my costume wasn't perfect, but it was as good as I was going to get it for spending 60 quid. Also while the grumpy adults may not have liked it, a few kids kept asking for pictures with me, let them play with the gun, some kid even asked to be used as a meat shield for a picture.

>>5115572
oh so THAT'S where my brownies went

>>5115574
Dude made an effort with what he had.
Fact of the matter is he enjoyed himself and that should be good enough. Can either sit here complaining and arguing about it or just stop bitching about things.

>>5115574

>>5115577
>doesn't put effort into the costume
>upset when someone calls you shit

>>5115577

To be honest, I'm with Britfag, but that might be because I'm also a perfectionist with things. If I wasn't happy with my Hilda costume to the point I wouldn't be happy with that orc, I wouldn't have worn it. Would have instead left it for May and done something simpler as a closet cosplay.

Why would I want to put time and money into a cosplay and wear it before I'm done?

>>5115585
Thanks BLUE, nice to know other cosplayers remember what fun is. But yeah, I'm currently researching what to do next, this year I'll have a bigger budget and time scale. So hopefully for my next costume I'll have something that looks better.
>>5115574
Also that's a nice Professor Pyg, but have you thought about challenging yourself? Aim for a harder outfit and see if you can do it.

>>5115599
He had two cosplays if you read up. One he wasn't happy with so didn't wear.

>>5115599
Harder outfit?
Bitch, please, Pyg isn't my hardest costume to wear, but he is NOT easy to wear either.
That mask is solid Urethane, and it is heavy as fuck, there is mesh for the eyes, which I have to deal with around my eyes, as well as the weight pulling on my head, and the thickness of the urethane being pressed against my head.

I also do a picture perfect penguin, as well as a picture perfect Haasp.
Neither of which are easy.

If we move onto the costumes I've made for my partner, that are "challenging" there's;
Ezio (that's a whole ton of leatherwork, as well as sewing and pattern making)
Scratch Built Spiderman Noir (more leatherwork, patttern making, shade matching, essentially doing everything from scratch)
Sinestro (you try workign with spandex)

Oh, and We're making him a Firewarrior outfit.

So your plan there to try and act like a smartarse with your
OH, Y U NO CHALLENGE URSELF, UR COSTUME SO EASY.

That didn't work, since I always fucking challenge myself.


Oh, also; THIS >>5115602

I hold myself to high standards, and I do the same to other people.

Totally not the person to be arguing with about cosplay, you.

My main gripe with this anon's cosplay is that they used a bodysuit instead of just painting their arms when it's a totally different colour.

So much why.

>>5115611
You really seem to be misreading my words. I am not accusing you of scraping by with bare basics, I just like to make sure that people constantly try and improve. I have no ill will against you, nor am I upset that you don't approve that I wear what I can make with my current skills and funds. I know your quite used to people making personal attacks on the internet because its easy, but thats not what I'm doing, but Sinestro is a badass one to go for. And while I'm not fan of the Tau, the designs behind them are quite detailed and I wish you the best while making them and hope they turn out better than you wish.

>>5115598
But you have to factor ability and funds into it, not all of us start off perfectly and there are two ways to get better - one is to try, fail and learn. The other is to never push yourself past your comfort zone.

I'm actually quite inspired that he'd know people would bitch and whine at him but managed to go out and have fun any way, something I couldn't do.

>>5115611
You are very good at what you do, amazing in fact. Not everyone can start at that point, not everyone will reach it, but you can't knock someone for trying.
Are you implying that you made everything spot on from day one of cosplay, or were you just sewing away, tucking each failure under the bed until you got it right? Either way is impressive but it's not something a lot of people can do. Some times you have to make an assery of yourself to see where it is you went wrong.

either way, I'm not quite sure what we're arguing against here. It's hardly although he's flaunting his cosplay in your face or trying to pull you down, nor is he claiming it to be good. It seems although you're saying what you're saying for the soul reason of emphasising the wall between yourself and the less impressive cosplayers.

I sort of knew there was a /cgl/ meetup, but I'm just a lurker on this board, really. I wasn't in cosplay this time around either (though I'm not that great at all with making costumes anyway, haha)- so I can't help but think I'd be very out of place. Might have a look-see next time though, if things go as I hope they will.

>>5115630
>The other is to never push yourself past your comfort zone.
>way to get better

No. So much no. I may be pretty new to cosplay, but I'm an artist and this is exactly why I have barely improved at all in 4 years.

If you don't push yourself (even if it's just to do things again and again), you do not improve.

>>5115616
>That didn't work, since I always fucking challenge myself.
I bet you do, every single day.

>>5115577
At least you had fun my costume was not to bad but fell apart in timely fashion and part of me from being on /cgl/ to much made me feel like a twit and only wore my costume for an hour or so.

>>5115662
You can always have fun with costumes, its just a matter of finding the fun side. Also don't worry I know about costumes self destructing, my chest armour got crushed on the first day. I knew it wouldn't survive but it really died quickly, due to posing and random forced hugs. Was the costume as good as you could make it with the time and resources you had. If so your costume is just fine, all costumes can be improved later on. But if you keep telling yourself your costumes are shit and your terrible at making stuff you'll stop going to conventions and you won't be able to have fun. I'm sure your costume was pretty awesome, got any pictures of it at all?

>>5114259
I think we can safely say that Pirate and Felix's costumes were a landslide success.

>>5115677
I can't get over that the girl on the left's face looks like my cousin jimmy..

>>5115672
I have a picture bit is it OK if I cover the face since the my eye derped a bit in the photo and its the only pic that was taken.

>>5115689
Go for it mate, its your picture to do as you please with it. As long as the face isn't super vital to the costume.

>>5115695
I have NO FACE.

>>5115718
Lunatic! And a Fem version at that. Love your wig.

>>5115720
Thanks the wig is fabulous I love it way to much.

>>5115718
Your costume is well put together and as you can see people love your wig work. Shame you only wore it for an hour, if I wasn't scuttling around or letting my brain rest I am sure you would be in my folder of pictures taken.

Anyone see the Nazi Zombie on Sunday with an actual swastika on his arm?

>>5115739
Yeah I saw him briefly, tried to get a picture but he was a brisk walker.

Hey guys, just got home and I want to apologise for the two girls I dragged into Fox with me. I could not shake them. I don't know, maybe you thought they were nice. But trust me, they were my very own con horror story. One day I might share the whole story but for now here are some gems that came out of their mouths:

"Oh my god everyone here is black. At least there's ONE english person."
"HAHAHA look at her (talking about another lolita) her headbow looks stupid, what IS that?! What is she DOING!?" (bearing in mind they both looked way more fail.)
"Well at least I don't lie about my brand, MY wonder cookie is REAL." (I'd already seen the tag. I didn't realise wonder cookie was a Sweet Fairy original...)
"I'm so fucked off I just want to go home." (after no one recognised her costume.)
"This is shit, I wish I hadn't bothered coming." (mcm party, ten minutes in.)
"Who's Beckii? Oh, you mean that dancer? I thought she was pretty shit."

Aside from that, they thought farting on each other was the height of comedy and after making me AN HOUR late to meet you guys, they actually had the nerve to start complaining that it was EIGHT OH FIVE and THE PARTY HAS STARTED WITHOUT US!!111one


Basically, next year I'm going with the missus and I will bring some form of apologetic gift, just in case they pissed you off as much as me.

It was nice to see you, the ones I did see anyway! Sorry if I came off as a bit socially retarded, I was just SO RELIEVED to finally have someone to talk to who wouldn't start bitching straight away.

>>5115732
Yeah its just sad every year I get hyped up for expo and only end up being there for a short time but also my poor boyfriend came with me and he was ill again like last year. ( I think he just hates expo really )

>>5115752
You mean the two lolitas i got a photo of earlier on? They weren't that bad from the little I saw, so perhaps nobody minded.

>>5115760
Well it could be that or he could be more susceptible to disease. What with 60,000 people moving around over the weekend I am sure someone brought something with them that isn't so lovely. Still well hopefully for your next con you'll improve on your costumes as you plan and will be able to be around later in the evening, saturday nights are fun to be around for. Crazy music and fun dancing near the green.

>>5115752
>Who's Beckii? Oh, you mean that dancer? I thought she was pretty shit."

>>5115776
I have bad sinuses now and I've an immune system to kill for. I hear that.

>>5115776
I would so love to meet up with the people on /cgl/ since it sounds fun not going to do may since it falls on the weekend my boyfriends birthday is on but I may do hyper japan if anyoen on /cgl/ is there.

>>5115780
Heh, I was helping Beckii's friends hand out cards and one of the people who I gave one proceeded to laugh at 'that girl from that BBC thing' and I couldn't help but cringe, since Beckii was like 4 feet away.

>>5112799
anyone got anymore of these guys

>>5115781
Generally good constition or do you have the same crazy blood type as me? O Rhesus Negative with positive antibodies.

>>5115772
Yes, those two. I understand they must have come across as nice and happy because you're new to them and they're desperate for new people to talk about. They were like it all weekend.

>>5115780

I KNOW. I loved Beckii, I had a couple of chats with her and she was lovely. I liked her dancing (embarrassed when I realised I could sing along to her song already...) and oh my god she's SO pretty. I am MAD jelly. Her videos do her no justice.

>>5115790
I'm O+ i know that much... dunno anything else, but I grew a mucky kid living in a trailer or bus and just generally always dirty, so I have a crazy immune system.

Friend of mine was given Beckii's card and showed it to me... her face that was totally clueless.... cracked me up bad, I couldn't stop laughing. She asked "Hey who is this Beckii person???"

Anyone here go to the after party, I went once a few years back and it was absolute shit, But I still like to hear people stories about it.

>>5115794
Actually I did kinda get the shorter girl had decided to latch onto me, which was odd... but yeah, generally seemed happy and smiley.

Didn't have anything bad to say about me after than, right? ^^;

>>5115800
Was probably me who gave it to them then. I was practically just shoving them at people. ^^;

No shortage of fans though, even if your friend was clueless. I was waiting for her after she was on stage and was stood there for like 20 minutes as wave after wave of people went to get photos. It'd seem like they'd all gone and she'd start to walk over, then OUT OF THE WOODWORK ANOTHER 4 PEOPLE. It was pretty funny actually.

>>5115538
We tried to get the Spies from the TF2 meet to go and photobomb them on Sunday, but they chickened out.

>>5115809
No, don't worry! :D They liked you all a bit too much actually. If they found out you were from cgl they'd feel personally wounded, of course, because all sites percieved to be wank comms are beneath them and all people who participate are "cunts."


OH and the taller one kept calling the Top Model girls "syphillitic whores".
She also kept telling everyone I was a whore.
"Oh hi! What are you cosplaying?"
"I'm--"
"She's Mr House's whore from New Vegas."
*awkward silence...*
Then I have to explain who jane is and that she isn't a whore at all...

Sounds like everyone had lots of fun.
Perhaps I'll go from Swedenland and pay a visit in May.

>>5115819
Eep. That sounds overtly annoying.

Glad they didn't come to Shuckle's meet party then.

>>5115819
Also
> If they found out you were from cgl they'd feel personally wounded, of course, because all sites percieved to be wank comms are beneath them and all people who participate are "cunts."

You realise you now have to inform them that they participated in the /cgl/ meet now?

>>5115565
My friend brought almost a half full bottle of Vodka back to our room, I was a bit shocked to be honest that it lasted so long! We in turn passed it on to another friend since we were unsure what to do with it upon checkout!

>>5115825
>>5115833

HAHAHAHAHA no. I don't need that shitstorm at all.
Do you know they're already planning what ME AND EMILY are going to cosplay TOGETHER next year?


FUCK
THEM
I'm going as Caitlyn (or Lenne if I can find a Yuna) and my boyfriend is going to be Volke, Malzahar or Singed.
(I'm pushing for Singed, he's skinny enough to make it perfect!)

>>5115784
>>5115794
You making me really regert not attending now

*looks in mirror* oh yeah

>>5115835
Haha, yeah. It wouldn't have lasted at all if it had tasted nice. I recall drinking like 2 shots worth neat and then accidentally spitting part out when I coughed on the bad taste.

Was a good night though. Still trying to work out who >>5113076 refers to and hoping it's not me.

>>5115849
We'd probably have had a little ourselves but I'm not a big drinker and she got back quite late... Although I asked and she told me no one was THAT drunk, so I'm clueless as to who it could be since I left at 11ish...

>>5115873
I could understand if it was me, but I can't remember doing anything all that cringeworthy.

Reading all these people getting drunk at 2AM or god knows how late... how did you people get home? The last trains/tubes stop at 1AM...

[spoiler]What was the gender ratio like?[/spoiler]

>>5115885
Some walked, three of us just crashed at Shuckle's.

Also it was pretty balanced.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/aoshi_88/sets/72157628006735054/

Keep your eyes glued... I've another 20-30 photos coming

>>5115911
Woo! About time we had more photos.

>>5115885
this is why I don't usually meet up since i would never make it home to surrey

>>5115917
>>5115911
>Me as Touko
>5 o click shadow
I take it back, nobody needs to see that photo of me ;;

>>5115849
>>5115873
>>5115880
It was nothing too bad, just drunken slurs really from Shuckle. Nothing to worry about.

>>5115927
Wow... you were a guy? I think I saw you there at the con.

who is beckii?

>>5115948
Yes, I was and am =p

I saw another awesome Touko actually as I was rushing off back to the hotel to redo my makeup. Didn't see her again though. She was awesome too.

>>5115959
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckii_Cruel

>>5115964
Well congratulations, you would make an excellent trap.

>>5115929
I thought I did alright, I thought - I told you guys i was light and everyone kept filling me up past the half way mark, you only have yourselves to blame! ;_;

>>5115966

cheers

>>5115974
>implying I wasn't already trapping

But yeah, thanks! Time to save up for a permanent solution to facial hair, methinks.

>>5115975
I thought you did alright too, don't worry.

>>5115989
Other than kicking you off the sofa?
Sorry about that - but damn was the bed hot.

>>5115988
Ah well, I only started hanging out here on Saturday, MCM this weekend was my first con.

>>5116000
Her name isn't bed.

>>5116000
I don't mind, I had a human pillow for a good while.

>>5115807
I was at the after party for a little while, I did another set. It didn't seem as bad as people had been telling me, but not that amazing either. I think a lot of people had lost their energy by then.
>>5115794
Thank you so much! ;-;

>>5115752
Who were they? London lolitas? I am curious...

I saw a Strawberry Panic! group over the weekend did anybody get pictures?
I'm also requesting masquerade?

>>5116034

You. Are VERY welcome. Tell your dad to email me that photo, I don't care how awkward I look I'm gonna be like YEAH THAT'S ME AND BECKII LIKE DONS
(I was the irritating one whose camera wouldn't work for love nor money)

>>5116035

No no, just a couple of unknowns. One of them won't add you on facebook unless she's met you and if you don't talk to her at least once a week she deletes you, the other won't add you unless the first says it's okay so there's no point even linking you.
My friend just told me she was sitting at another table when her friend said "What is that pretty girl doing with the man and the ita?" About ME. I don't know whether to feel incredibly flattered or incredibly bad.

Okay... photos have all been added for Day 1 & 2. Enjoy.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/aoshi_88/sets/72157628006735054/

>>5116045
Do you have a pic of them or a facebook link? I am dying to know who they are and if I met them...

fuck beckii cruel my mans is gonna be the next jap pop sensation

>>5116035
I've heard that the london lolis can be intimidating but I doubt that they are racist... at least I hope not :S

>>5116073
I believe it's the two on the right.

>>5116034
I hear you gave one of the tables a signed calender, one of the best tables I mite add.

>>5116085

>>5116073

Alright, hold on. I can't link you to their FBs for photos to check with because they're set to private, so here are their names and photos instead:

The bossy, mean one was Emily Kindleysides
photo: http://i43.tinypic.com/1tubmr.jpg

The quiet one who can't say no to emily EVER and cries a lot is hayley hartnell:
http://i43.tinypic.com/97tmas.jpg

Hayley is painfully new to lolita and I found myself saying "Please, for god's sake don't wear those cat ears if you're going in lolita."
She blinked at me, looked at emily and said "but... you said they were okay for lolita..."
and Emily quickly changed her mind and treated hayley like a steaming retard, like she should have innately known that her *teacher* was fucking her about.

If you have met them, you likely thought they were nice but overenthusiatic, much like I did the first time I met them.
Try spending three days listening to them talk about who should and shouldnt be allowed to attend expo based on their opinions.

I have a bit of a TLDR post to make about something emily did that upset another lolita, interested at all? I dont want to post an essay for no reason and irritate people.

>>5116077
Oh my fucking days thats me

>get drunk
>rest on floor
>wake up to ruined life

fucking WOMEN

>>5116077
aaa suteki

>>5116097

Tale I mention involves girl on the right in this photo >>5116085 btw.
(She didn't do anything bad.)
(Emily did though and if you know Emi at all you'll rage.)

>>5116099
I'm sorry but I only had one thing going though my mind when I read your comment, and that was:
>get drunk
>rest on floor
>everybody walk the dinosaur

aaaa i saw the one on the right on Sunday in a crocodile kigurumi - boy did I have a hard time not believing that it wasn't her own, naked skin!

She walked past our stall with the most foulest scowl on her face it was ridiculous. She's an actual crossbreed of ReptilexHuman...

>>5116106
>>5116106
I did think the short blonde one just seemed sort of like a gullible, overenthusiastic, maybe slightly daft kitten.

>>5116110

I have a lot more patience for hayley because I know she's just following emily's lead, and she is easily led. She's nice enough, but yeah, a bit daft. She cried at the meetup because she didn't recognise me when she sat down next me and felt embarrassed, bless her.
Example or their relationship: I was sitting with Jess having a drink and they went to the toilet. They came back about a year later, Hayley in tears and Emily barking "I CAN'T KEEP AN EYE ON YOU IF YOU KEEP DISAPPEARING. DON'T - RUN - OFF."
Hayley's 20 and emily's 27 by the way, it's not even like hayley IS a child.

>>5116097
I remember them, they seemed nice enough.
I think one of them was hitting on me at one point, but I can't remember, it was just after I'd had a vodka&coke.

>>5116119

I'm sorry, I was trying to keep them a little... calmer than usual but it wasn't working... >.< That one was technically a man so don't feel bad. Trans and all that.

>>5116121

Oh JESUS. I'm SO SORRY, Blue, I did NOT hear that. Was it the blonde??? She seems to love male attention. The only reason I'm not 100% fine with her is she creeps me out with the way and the amount she talks about sex and sex toys.

>>5116123

Pretty much this. I came out of the hotel bathroom and hayley ran in sobbing. Emily had "told her off" for touching her petticoat.
"Because, I mean, you just don't touch people's petticoats, do you?"

>eckskyooz me wtf r u dooin

(by the way, if you're reading this thread and talking to someone and you've just said "that's not your friend! you just got that off cgl!", no, I am her friend, this shit went down. ;-;)

>>5116126
You've no reason to apologize, calm down.
And aye, I'm pretty sure it was her.
If I recall correctly she seemed to dig my Doctor suit.
Said something about my hair not being right, but I didn't mind.

>>5115752
>"Well at least I don't lie about my brand, MY wonder cookie is REAL." (I'd already seen the tag. I didn't realise wonder cookie was a Sweet Fairy original...)

Oh my goodness, I hope that wasn't about me. I was in a Wonder Cookie skirt and I always said it was replica.
And also, the dark skinned girl with the 'silly head bow' was super nice and when I saw her, her dress was cute so whatever whatever

What the hell is with these two girls and why were they at the /cgl/ meet-up.

>>5116126
Wow, I didn't notice she was trans, when I normally would. She looked kinda masculine, but no more so than an ugly girl I thought. I suddenly have a MINISCULE bit of respect for her, just for that.

>>5116128
And now I'm very glad I didn't try anything. That shit would put me off in seconds.

>>5116097
So...those are actually girls?

>>5116139
Ah, yeah, I saw her. I wasn't sure about the bow either, but figured the rest made up for it.

Damn elitist bitch, this Emily. V:

Damn, I need to fiddle with the levels on these photos.

>>5116141
>>5116149
Oh, never mind.

Oh god.. the ugly

I have an emergency.
In my pants.

>>5116130
I'm not getting stressed, dw. :3 I'm just disappointed in myself for letting her do that, and in front of the Toastinator as well. I should have stopped her. :/

>>5116139

No no not you!! I remember a wonder cookie skirt, if you're who I think you are you looked lovely. :3 No, that was about the two girls I was talking about further up.

>>5116140

Because I'm a fucking pussy and couldn't shake off my fucknut roommates even when they made me a full hour late for the meet. I could have cried, that was my ONE rest from having to listen to them, I was so mad when I realised I'd missed you all and so relieved I found you that I pretty much fell on Pirate Toaster.

>>5116141

I wouldn't if I were you, pity friendship that way lies. It's a small step from "Oh, she's trans, that's cool!" to "She has a fucking shit personality... but she's trans so I guess she's cool... Like... confidence and all that... right...?! "

Gumshoe here.

I was talking to Emily on the way to the hotel room. She seemed Nice. Although saying that, I was half awake and not really paying much attention to what was going on around me.

Oh and have some more photos.
https://www.facebook.com/mcmexpo?sk=photos

>>5116150
If you do not mind me asking, how long have you been trapping?

>>5116151
I'll do it? Anything to distract me from being hungry.

>>5116158
I think it was when 'The Toastinator' was getting drinks or on the phone, I'm not sure.
But don't worry about it, she probably wasn't even hitting on me, just complimenting me on my outfit.
I did look swagg as phuck in my suit.

Also, hooray for iPad apps and boredom!

>>5115799
I fucking saw you dancing you hilarious bastard

At least the weather was nice~

>>5116160
Umm... I suppose about 2 year since I first tried it and a year since I started learning things how to do it right? Not long really and still learning. This was my first time in public.

why do you ask?

>>5116158
> Implying I would every try to talk to her just because we share a fondness for the things of a gender we were not born.
Nope.jpg

>>5116169
>dat picture
oh man
i freaking love england sometimes

>>5116097
Oh god. I have met Emily before but only briefly and I didn't think she was bad... did they really say
>Oh my god everyone here is black. At least there's ONE english person
?

If so, all my rage.

>>5116172
Because you pass very well and as I said, only been here a few days so I do not really know people.

>>5116158
>Wonder Cookie

That's good to know! I must've missed that. Thank you, dear

>>5116172

Not just for that, I meant more a sense of admiration for an equal kinda thing? I always feel more biased towards liking lolitas because I know what it's like to walk around alone dressed up and I know what you have to put up with?

More P&S. I have too much.

>>5116175
Is she blind as well as a bitch? I barely saw any black people, most of the non whites were Asians.

>>5116182
We didn't even have any black people at the meet

Wtf

>>5116175

Yes. She was also saying things about Peckham being full of black people, no one here is white, everyone is foreign, don't know what they're on about half the time, etc. They were all little passing comments but they always made me
>D:
If you think she's nice you should listen to what she says about people who aren't NICE. Have you seen Misery? YOu know how Annie hates people who are DIRTY BIRDIES? well, to emily, anyone who isn't NICE is a DIRTY BIRDIE.
She and Annie Wilkes have a lot in common, now I think about it...

>ohshit D:

She made a mistake about Laura Nicholls having something of hers and refusing to give it back (it turned out to be a different laura that was meant to be delivering this item) and you should have heard the things she was saying. My ears burned.

So i went to the meet saw a couple of you guys, sadly i couldnt stick around, i was the cold looking grimmjow.

Wish i had come to the drinking and fun to be honest...

>This whole thread.

Did anyone happen to snap a picture of zechs while they were there, or the fat guy dressed as a snorlax or the busty cat woman?

>>5116180
Ah, didn't follow that you were that same anon, sorry! And thanks again!

>>5116176
Nah. I mean... I'm not trans myself, so I wouldn't get that familiarity thing... and my crossdressing is easy at a con or with a friend. I just don't care about what I'm seen as, so the whole. Outside that I don't really do it, so I don't get that.

One day plan on just being able to don whatever clothing I like and go out happily as the appropriate gender to match, but that'll be a while I think.

>>5116188
Oh did I meet them when I saw you then? I thought they were quite sweet, it sucks to hear that they're like that though.

(also new trip yeahh)

>>5116197

I wish you lived near me, I have a friend I know you'd love, you really remind me of him sometimes :,3

>>5116199

Yeah, they were kinda behind me. Hayley (the saner one who isn't a total bitchtit, blonde, held camera for me) really likes you by the way XD You walked by and I said "Yeah, I thought I recognised her, that's definitly Beckii. I wonder if she'd mind us talking to her, or is she busy?"
And her face dropped. XD "Ooohh oh oh I know her too she's beckii cruel oh I really like her she was on BBC 3 once and I loved her *rambleramble* " XD

>>5116199
SUP BECKII

>>5116197
>plan on just being able to don whatever clothing I like and go out
After a goddamn 2-hour session of shaving and putting on make-up, you mean?

>>5116201
And where abouts DO you live? V:

Always up for a coach ride as long as I have the cash at the time.

>>5116209
LETS FIX THIS AH

>>5116208
Yeah I thought she was nice! That's sweet of her. Shame for the other one though. Also I will email you asap <3

>>5116213
see here:
>>5115988
C:

>>5115988
There are permanent solutions to facial hair?

>>5116221
WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

your trip hates you... maybe it misses being on my computer

>>5116219

Leicester :D I can link his facebook if you want? He's always up for new people.

>>5116226
oops, accidentally secure tripped it

>>5116225
Yes. Electrolysis, laser treatments and there's a cream that's sold online in very limited runs. All very expensive, time consuming and some take multiple sessions.

>>5116239

are we autosaging or is cgl really busy today? :o

(no sage to test)

>>5116247
The thread has shitloads of replies

It must be autosaging

Anyone see our Secret Six group on the saturday? I was running around for most of the day as RagDoll, being odd.

>>5115799

>>5116347
New thread.

>>5116188
Oh wow. I am a foreign loli and everyone I have met in the UK has been lovely. It makes me sad to think that other lolis are annoyed by the presence of people like me, just cause I wasn't born here.... I mean what the hell, I work and pay my taxes and all, y'know?
