London first day - Monday

Hello everybody ^^

Monday (after the Dokomi weekend) Michi and I started our small trip to London.
Her dad brought us to Düsseldorf airport.

my outfit

Michi and me at Düsseldorf airport

The flight was quick and relaxed. I asked Michi Japanese vocaulary and we were watching my Popteen mag. So nothing special happened! Lucky us! (the "flight" back was a disaster but that's another story...)

Michi watching the tube map. First photo in London, sitting in the tube (Picadilly Line) from heathrow (airport) to Hammersmith (our hotel location)

Michi in front of our hotel in London Hammersmith

We found our hotel quickly and I really like the location. All over the place there are those typical small London houses. And in and around the station there are a lot of shops. We even found a Primark in our neightbourhood! The Primark was not crowded and tidy!!! ~wow ~ haha

our small hotel room

street around the corner

We saw a lot of pupils in school uniforms and when we found those typical red callboxes we finally felt and recognized that we are in London~ haha

in the evening we had a giant pizza ^^

So we spend the first day exploring our neightbourhood and decided to go to bed early to be ready to start the next day refreshed early in the morning^^

Dokomi 2013 - Sunday

Hello it's me again ^^

On Sunday Sato , Michi and me went together to the manga/anime convention Dokomi. 
(If you missed out the Saturday part you can check it here)

The tree of us cosplayed characters from one of my absolutely favourite animes "Sket Dance" ^o^

My cosplay make up - my cosplay character Michiru is male! So I had to reduce my make up to the minimum.

first mirror shot of Sato (as Agata) and me^^

My friend Michi (don't mix the name with my cosplay chara^^°) prepared delicious bentos *o*

sweet  potato, onigiri, dorayaki, mochi... suuuuper yummie <3

Soon we started taking photos^^

Michis Himeko Onizuka cosplay

 my Michiru Shinba cosplay

While Sato watched the DCM-preliminary decision, Michi and me met Kirschu and chilled in the Japanese garden. The weather was stunning *o* Sunny and warm!!!

When Sato came back we continued taking photos.

Generally I can't tell you so many things of the day... we had shootings, relaxed, met friends, ate, made jokes and had crazy photo ideas. The weather was perfect, I had a small cosplay group and we were not in a hurry. One of the best convention days for a long time!!!

While Sato was trying herself as a photographer for some other friends, I was watchig the big fishes in the small lake.

So we left the Dokomi with a very goog feeling, a lot of new insider syings and looking foreward to Michis and my London journey starting the next day ^o^

bye bye ~ chu <3

Dokomi 2013 - Saturday

Hello everybody ^^
I'm back again ^o^
Last weeks were really exciting (convention, London, class trip) and I've got so many things to blog about >.<°...don't know where to start...

The weekend before last I went to my friend Michi to Gladbeck.
I planned to attend the anime/manga convention Dokomi on Saturday and Sunday.
It was super strange because it was just the two of us in her flat. We've always been a lot of people in her flat before conventions. But not this time.

So on Saturday I put my plan to style as Manba into action.

It's two different wigs sewn into each other, pink and yellow accessories, my pink yukata, my light purple obi, a huge yellow bow in front and typical Manba make up.

 

I wanted to try out Manba for a long time already. And a convention is a better occasion then my usual freetime 'cause everybody is looking flashy on cons~ haha.
I gave my best to succeed with the make up. It's just ordinary (dark) make up mixed with brown kajal for the dark skin, white kajal for the highlights and black liquid eyeliner for the eyeshape. I took  upper lashes as bottom lashes.

Michi did not attend the Dokomi (in Düsseldorf). But I met some of my best friends there^^
Sato and Kirschu.

And Nii-chan/Padfood.

derp photo ^^° (she cosplayed Elina from Queens Blade...I dont have a complete photo -.-°)

So I spend most of the time with them.

Sato cosplayed Switch from Sket Dance (in my old cosplay~ haha- I sold it )

Although I have been to Dokomi last year, too I didn't know about the huge and beatiful park/garden close to the area.

But soon we started to get confused and lost direction.... ~haha

we're lost... ~ haha XD

total frazzle....Nii-chan suffering from fatigue~ haha

No time for exhaustion! Contiuing to take photos! XD

After we found our way back to the convention area we....continued taking photos XXDDD I shooted Kirschu (photos on her cam...) and we had a small snack (thuna mayo onigiri <3) . We really had a lot of fun.

The weather kept up and in the end of the day Sato, Nii-chan, a friend of her and I went to Düsseldorf city and met Michi to go for a meal.
We went to the japanese restaurant "Kotobuki".

my delicious udon *o*

Michis new big R2-D2 (background) and my small R2-D2 (foreground) so cuuute <3

selfmade puri ^^°

Kirschu made this funny gif for me <3 (me dancing the begining of the Bazooka Girl- velfarre 2000 para para)

It was a super nice day had a lot of fun. But I was wondering why I didn't meet some of the people I expected to be on the Dokomi... (e.g. Rin, Rui, Kukki, Maya and Aiji....I din't see any of them...)

bye bye ~chu <3
