T H E C O N ! so yea
Panda Pumpkin went to Matsuri this past weekend~! it was the first time
all the members got together for quite some time now (
), and i'm missing them all very much already.
it was pretty exciting, not so much the con itself, but what we did.
W E A R E S O P R O U D ! i am proud to announce:
our
Joker and Harley Quinn won SECOND PLACE in the cosplay contest~!
congratz to the first place winners who were a group from Naruto consisting of a Kakashi, Sakura, Hinata, aaaand....i honestly don't remember who the last member was
my bad...and the Cloud who placed 3rd
we got the entire contest on film~! though we missed Joker and Harley's skit due to battery related issues
.
T H E B R E A K - D O W Nso we got there super early after waking up between 4-5
A.M.it was not a pretty picture...and we all got ready by around 8-8:10 while trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake up the rest of the family upstairs.
lets just say, it wasn't easy. stick 8 teenagers in an apartment after 2-3 hours of sleep and expect them not to make noise. HA!
so after extensive make-up, clothes, and hair related tending, picking away at last night's pizza
which had all kinds of creepy stuff on it that most of us shied away fromand some fruity drinks, we all clown car-ed into the panda-pumpkin-mobile!
the remaining members comfortably stretched out in coral's van after arriving we got to see all of the booths set up and ran into some friendly Ciel and Butler Grell (kuroshitsuji/black butler) cosplayers and one of their friends.
we did some shopping before the crowds rushed in and then joined the parade~!
i now have 1 super buff arm and one stupid one from carrying this giant stick with a big blue paper flower thingy in one hand through out the whole thing after that there was lots of walking around, getting lost, new friends, and awesome memories
D I D Y A S E E U S ? ! our group consisted of:
from Batman... as the creepiest
(in a good way) Joker as the lovely
Harley Quinnfrom Kingdom Hearts... as the most badass
Riku ever!
as the most awesome-est
Roxas ever!
as the most out of character
Zexion in existence.
and
Mia as the 3-eyed
Xigbar from Bleach... briefly as the adorable
Orihimeand we can't forget... as our honorary furry,
Viden I N S U M M A R Y . . .Overall the day was great!
our
Joker debut was a hit
our group took home a huge honour as second place
our furry made some new friends
most of our cosplays survived the day! though
Roxas took home some very colourful pants
between grass stains and the japanese version of snow cones they actually didn't get too beat up we adopted 2 heartless
Roxas' Chester and Demyx&Zexion's David Bowie
(until the results come in, Zexion is Davey's babydaddy)and
Riku's moogle named Jake~!
C L O S I N G . . . Future cosplays are slowly, but steadily being worked on.
and deviations continue to be on pause
i hate busy schedules...
