I remember saying something like, i will write my Japan Expo journal really soon and as usual i ended up not doing anything!
The thing is i was extremely occupied because of WCS and well it kinda, escaped!
I still need to make my WCS journal but knowning myself 2014 is suited for it *sigh* i will try to make it as a solo journal maybe, or i might include also the last cons of the year!
Anyways, i really gotta do it. At the end of this journal though i will link 's journal for WCS in case you are curious about things.


For now, lets start :3



I kinda planned my Japan expo schedule really early in the year, appart from Nezumi. I was supposed to use Nezumi Ophelia during Iberanime LX 2013 but ended up not doing so and took Badou instead.
I then decided to move Nezumi to Japan Expo. Also Peter White who was on the schedule changed with Felicitá, and i decided to add Ren later on.
still i regret not taking Sinbad with me now, so many MAGI cosplayers. Also there was this huge group of heart no kuni no alice! Why i no took Peter White??
Other stuff that surprised me was to see another Kagerou cosplayer and another Nezumi ophelia! I tend to think that this underground stuff is mirages in my head! But they really exist omg!

anyways!

I travelled with on the 3rd of July and we met with the pt ecg contestants at the airport! It was a fun travel and all!
When we arrived we met with and and went to Paris for some visiting and curry!~

I warned that japan expo was really tiring but she still wanted to visit it during Thursday, so next day, after not sleeping at all with the excitement (i still feel it even after going there so many times!),
we woke up and the adventure started!

Thursday, 4th of July.
Felicitá . Arcana Famiglia



Even though felicitá has a sword i decided to take a gun with me, because i can't take swords but, it was kinda a meme, i shoot myself in the head the entire con ahahah xD my feet hurt, and i was tired so i just shoot myself and everything around, i was constantly bang bang bang!
It was a fun day but very tiring! But as long as you are with your friends everything is just awesome!!

Friday, 5th of July.

Jinguji Ren . Uta no Prince-Sama



This day was more calm! Me and went to watch the french wcs i think, or the normal contest i don't even remember and we ate takoyaki and just aimlessly roamed around!
I was also able to meet with and talk a bit with her <3 we also took a pic together!



i returned to the hotel with the boots in my hands 8D

Saturday, 6th of July.

Shoukin Kagerou . Inu x Boku SS



I did this costume in like two days before Japan Expo and finished it at 5 am before packing to go to the airport! I am just glad lend me her white pants! it made everything easier.
Anyways i am really proud of my waistcoat, even though i didn't cut it, i only adjusted the depth of the neck line and all, it's probably the more accurate and best piece of clothing i ever did appart from raikou's shirt.
And i never did a mantle before so it came out pretty well for the thing and time i had!

Anyways during con we watched the ecg of course! Such great costumes! And after con we went to the ecg food exchange! god...ahahah!



Sunday, 7th of July.

Nezumi (Ophelia) . No.6



Wake up in the morning feeling like a little shit! drop out of bed with a huge lightheadedness and almost faint ten times! But is still able to put on cosplay, go to con and stay there all day and look decent and with no eyebangs!
Someone give me an award! me and are brave brave people! I wanted to see the french ecg but we didn't get to con on time since everyime i lifted my head out of bed it was almost as if i was fainting!
We ended up gathering with and for a pizza for our last day!

Well, another adventure i can say!
Next year i probably wont go to japan expo unfortunately, because of wcs and because i want to go to a con somewhere else, well, the netherlands, so i won't be attenting it, because moneyz no infinitz but i hope to return eventually in two years be it with friends or for ecg (forever feelin the pressure of the folks to go).



After Japan Expo i went to my usual holiday in Algarve like i always do and i am glad the only con during summer holiday was in Algarve as well, so my friends and came over and we spent that weekend together. So cool! Because 's house is also in my town so it was cool!

Satuday, 24th of August

Sinbad (Orange outfit) . MAGI: The Labirynth of Magic



So yeah i spent the holiday prior to the con making my sinbad blade and i am really proud of it t.t omg!
I will share the link to the sword wips at the stuff section of my journal!
It was a funny day, but i couldn't lift my arms because i had no binder 8D open chest binders during summer are a pain! kudos for small chest!
That weekend was so hot we spent the entire day just dying in front of the giant fans in the sallon!

Sunday, 25th of August

Nezumi (Ophelia) . No.6



So i decided to take nezumi to algarve as well because it's a fresh costume, like a greek dress! I really need to photoshoot this soon! And video shoot! I have many ideias really! But i want to remake the dress.
Make it longer and more flowy!

Next day we all hit the beach and it was fun! Friends left in the afternoon and i went back home to the world of rift, aion and warcraft ):

In the beginning of September i returned to lisbon and started working on my WCS stuff. But lets move on to anifest!!
