Holiday at Michis place in Düsseldorf - Cosplay shooting - part 3

Hello everybody ^^
Icontinue with my summary of my time in Düsseldorf:

At Wednesday I met with Sato <3
She had a day off and so we planned a little Cosplay shooting ^^

She is not a prefessional photographer but has a nice reflex camera and likes to practise with it!
We were so lucky! The weather was just perfect!!!
eeeeeeh????~ what cosplay is it? o.O

It's James/Kojirou (Pokémon) in his Ganguro/Kogal disguise from episode 15 (first season) "Battle Aboard the St. Anne"
 Well, it's super oldschool Pokémon in addition with super oldschool gyaru <3
When I remembered Team Rocket doing this disguise I definitely wanted to cosplay it!!!
OF COURSE!!! 
So I could try a super oldschool ganguro make-up and do a Pokémon-Cosplay both at one go!!! 
I didn't have a Jessie... and that's the reason I didn't want to wear it at a convention... without Jessie nobody would have recognised me...
James witout Jessie is just boring!
Ganguro (or better gonguro..because the full body is tanned) make up looks different to Manba! It's from the end of the 90's and less flashy. Contacts and lashes were both not that common but possible.
I hope I did it not too contemporary... I just used simple upper lashes and my circle lenses because it's a cosplay!


Sato and me
Here are some of the photos:
Here is the complete gallery: Ganguro James ~ cooooooool
And here is my cosplay on animexx 
Big thanks to you Sato <3 it was soo much fun ^o^
 After we finished the shooting I changed my style into this:
just a sweet casual coord
 I redid my make-up on the street and changed the clothes in Tally Weijl changing room XD ~haha
Sato and I were strolling through the city and in the afternoon we met with Michi at TenTen Coffee!
Michi, Sato and me <3 <3 <3
Well actually that's it with my short holiday in Düsseldorf...
The next morning (Thursday) my father picked me up by car and we went back to Berlin^^°

my outfit on the way back
Outfit of the next day at home and for a walk with the dog...
It was just a casual outfit but I wore the new striped longarmshirt for the first time^^
bye bye ~ chu <3

Holiday at Michis place in Düsseldorf - shopping, outfits, manga café - part 2

Hello gals ^^
This is part two of my small holiday in Düsseldorf.

From Monday on Michi had to work until the afternoon. So she didn't have time for me the whole day. 
But I had planned some things on my own so it was really ok.


On Monday I just stayed at Michis home until she arrived from work. I used the time for blogging, relaxing and some cosplay preparations.
I styled another wig for Michi...^^°
When Michi came home we directly went into the city again. Michi wanted to have a look at the Dirndls at New Yorker.
Kiki and Michi want to wear Dirndls at the Golden Bomber concerts in October in Japan.... why not XD

My look: sporty cool

At New Yorker:
cute <3
I bought these earrings (1€)

shitty rain weather at the Kö(nigsallee)
Back at home Michi prepared risotto and omlette <3
<3
She's the queen of improvised cooking XD (And is also good at cooking with recipe)
Do you wanna have a look at her blog? Sakuradori
She's sometims sharing her recipes!

In the evening (when we finally bought the missing add-on part for her Wii) we played some
STAR WARS - The Clone Wars - Republic heroes
...
We're both super fans of STAR WARS but the same time super noobs and loosers concerning gaming XD (except Pokémon)
But it was super funny~ together we defeated the Octuptarra???Droid XD

Enough of Monday
____________________________________________________________________

I spend the Tuesday all by myself. Michi had sports after working and arrived very late in the eveing.
My look: ...sorry for this pose again and again.... it's kind of a bad habbit recently -.-°

I decided for a black and white...Neo Gal?, Pastel Goth? Mode?...I don't know what look XD
With coat... it was so cold and rainy that day!!!

At first I went into the historic city again and had a look at the Rhine riverside.... weeeeh~ rain rain and cloudy sky -.-°
I went intoo many stores without buying anything. Just had a look at the new autumn fashion.
'Cause it already felt like Autumn...


I just planned to buy something cheap at Primark.
In Berlin I hardl ever visit Primark.... it's always so crowded...
But this day (Tuesday) the Primark in Düsseldorf was realtively empty!

I tried on many things:
I decided fot this cute pullover! Reduced to just 5€.

I also had a look into the Topshop section which is included into the Karstadt department store.
I bought these cute pink gignham check socks (1€)
In the late afternoon I visited the new Manga Café in Düsseldorf.
It's called "Manga Hof" and is located Ostraße 137.

The owner is Japanese and I think the customers are also ment to be the Japanese citizens of Düsseldorf because there are nearly only Mangas in Japanese language.
Nearly! They have also one bookshelf full of German ones. (Around 500).

You pay for the time you are staying there (1h 5€, 2h 9€...) and if you are student (like I am) you get 30% discount.
You get drinks (soft drinks, juces, water, tea, coffee) and sweets (lolipop,candies) for free.
So you can drink as much as you want and can read as much a you want.
You just pay for the time!

There are also more expansive seats than I took. You pay more for a private cabine or room.
for smokers
I decided to read Nana. I always wanted to read it. Well I just stayed around 2 hours so I just managed to read 2 mangas during that time....

But it was a nice experience there!^^
back at home in the evening ^^
bye bye~ chu <3 
and stay tuned for part 3 ^^

Btw. This weekend (Friday-Sunday) I will attend the connichi ^^
