CON-pressionen Dokomi 2012
Wuhuuuuuuuu, people! As you may have noticed, I was up up and away for the weekend for the Dokomi, an anime and manga convention in Düsseldorf, where our cosplay group the "Grand Gala Project" met for the first time. Wuhuuu!
We arrived on Friday in our hotel after a really stressful day - I had to skip a class because I had to wait for a last fabric order to arrive to complete my skirt but it all came out perfectly thanks to pinku being an amazing seamstress. <33333333
Saturday started perfectly. We had to put on part of our costumes in the hotel (because driving while wearing a petticoat is a bitch thing to do) and then suit up in the car on the parking lot of the congress hall - it was super funny, stretching and bending and poking into one's eye because the contact lense was not suited for driving and needed to be applied immediately before entering the con and yeah everything was awesome and shiny. xDD
And so very very warm oh my God, the weather was beautiful (although pinku and me are now sunburned like poptarts) and every body was awesome and nice (apart from the usual trolls but there weren't so many of those to be found). And now on to the fantabulous pictures:
Agent Perry from "Phineas&Ferb"
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pardotje as Fiona from "Adventure Time" (They had a whole and amazing group but I lack pictures Q_Q)
Black Swan - I asked for a photo, the girl said "Of course!" and then she stood on her toes. Like... immediately. EPIC
There were a lot of Disney cosplayers too: Esmeralda <3
Trixie from "Rescuers". Emulux was also the leader of our Pony group and she is really really cute and awesome. We'll definitely meet again at Animagic <333
An orc. He was the sweetest guy ever, really. xD
Tomoyo and Sakura from "Card Captor Sakura" Awwww oh God, I love this series to death and the cosplay was so cute and perfect <333
Tony Stark, Hawkeye and Captain America. Sadly, Caps were only to be found on Saturday not on Sunday when I wore my USO Girl outfit. Q___Q
Captain America number two. She made an awesome 10th doctor the next day, I almost didn't recognize her. So so beautiful. <333
And of course: Loki himself. She was so adorable ("I know this is completely out of character, but you are so beautiful in your outfit!!!" she said to me after I had taken the photo. Tihihii <33)
Oh yeah, here is my Sunday outfit btw:
USO Girl Kiwi
Ignore the background please xD The shoes were actually okay to wear (a miracle o.o) and wohooo finally a picture with the belt laying where it has to xD The hat was secured with a safety pin to my hair. Yes, to my hair. Hairspray truly works wonders. xDD
And a porny pin-up-picture because I wanted one xD
A detail. Urghs, the lapels are bitching again. Need to redo them sometime xD
And another one. Some of the bronies we met on Saturday were there on Sunday too and carried weapons with them:
(Grr, stupid misbehaving belt. >.<) And yeah we went completely crazy with those (see down below). XD
Romeo and Julietto, anime version. I mostly wanted a pic because of the awesome dress. XD
And now, ladies and gentlemen: here is our perfect Pony-Get-Together wuhuuuuu!
A group shot. There was another gala pony group, I think, so we were at least over twenty and sometimes over thirty people. It was amazing <33333 (But our group was of course the best)
Our Apple family
(Urgh, quality picture this is not. >.> There will be better ones once we get our whole team together). Our Granny Smith was the cutest thing ever. <3333
Our highness Princess Celestia
Ignore the chair in the background. XDDD
And now finally: pinku and myself as Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie
She is so so beautiful and she rocked that costume like whoa. There were a lot of Rainbows there but she was the best (and I am not just saying that because she is my girlfriend but because her costume looked perfect)
The necklace was held together by spit and desperation but it looked awesome. XD And her wings omg. Those huge ass bitch fucking transport I hate you awesomesaucely cool wings.
Those shoes were a bitch to wear and I gave up sometime during the day xD
A detail shot of my eyes and wig and of the bow on my hat (which was bitchy to sew so I need to show it off XD)
Our guard with us beautiful girls. We had a really huge get together on one of the great staircases and about a dozen people were taking photos at the same time. It was brilliant and awesome (Spitfire and myself tried to organize the group... mostly failing xD)
He was part of "Luna's royal guard" and kept us safe. ;D
pinku and me being adorable
As I said we went crazy with the weapons. They have a certain appeal to them...
*giggel* I still think it's awesome XD
Ain't she the cutest XDDDDDD
And again with the one brony who lend us his weapons (and he didn't even laugh when I was stupid enough to grip it around the ammunition thingie...XD)
And that was that for now. I am still trying to gather some better photos and if you have a favourite pony that you want some pictures of please tell me and I'll try to get our best ones ^^
Oh and did I mention that our next big plan is Avengers-Genderbender? Please call me Miss Banner. ;D pinku is Captain America and our Fluttershy is going to be Tony Stark (and her boyfriend maybe Pepper Potts. We are not sure yet but the plan is there xDDDDD)

And awwww, pinku rocks the Rainbow Dash look! <3
great work with the costumes!
I can't wait to see the genderbend Avengers-costumes. *g*
no subject
Ohhh, mine will be very casual. (I look horrible in purple, but oh well. <3 Maybe some grey streaks in my hair too? We'll see XDDDD)
no subject
This looks awesome! And like lots of fun!
Und zu mehr Kommentaren ist mein Hirn momentan nicht in der Lage
*zurück zu Tee und Decke um die Erkältung weiter auszukurieren*
Fluttershy mit Sehr Großer Waffe hat etwas leicht verstörendes D: XD
no subject
Und ja, es hat etwas leicht verstörendes. Wir sind völlig durchgedreht und haben alles abgeschossen. XDDDD
no subject
Wie lang habt ihr denn an euren Kostümen gearbeitet? Die sehen toll aus.
no subject
Hmm... das ist ne sehr gute Frage. Wir hatten sehr lange Pausen dazwischen. Am USO Girl haben wir ungefähr 3 Wochen gesessen, an den Ponies ... uff. Vielleicht vier Monate? Alles in allem. (Aber gedauert hat es von Sommer 2011 bis zum letzten Tag vor der Con XDDD)
no subject
pardotje teilte es auf facebook. xD
no subject
Das ist das erstbeste, was existiert, die richtigen Fotos werden noch bearbeitet >_O;
no subject
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MISS BANNER! :D
no subject
Yeah, I am trying to think of ways to make the costume a bit more interesting, not only skirt, shoes, purple blouse and jacket. But I don't want to go as She-Hulk so...XDD
Diese Liebe....♥♥♥
Yummy. You both look delicious.
... okay, ich rede Unsinn, aber ich bin begeistert.
Avengers-Genderbender klingt für mich ganz toll!

Re: Diese Liebe....♥♥♥
Delicious... oooooooookay. No no sure we are totally sweet <333
Awww, jawww, die Kleidchen sind der Hammer. Wir werden uns vermutlich an diesem Fanart hier orientieren (allerdings ohne Tonys Rüstung because WTF superhard to build O_O): Look at them being pretty Wenn wir nun noch wen für Nikita Fury finden würden... <333

Re: Diese Liebe....♥♥♥
Die Avenger-Genderbenders (XD) werden wir vermutlich erst nächstes Jahr cosplayen, für dieses Jahr sind wir durch mit Cosplays und Co. XD

Sag mal, habt ihr euch die Haare dafür extra gefärbt? Die von deiner Freundin sehen erschreckend echt aus ^^'
Ich wusste gar nicht, dass sowas in Düsseldorf (right next to me *arrrgghhh*) statt findet! Hätte ich euch ja sogar live bewundern können *schnief*

Wo genau war die Convention denn in Düsseldorf? Ich hatte da nichts drüber gelesen irgendwie...

[Wenn ich das so sehe, wär das wirklich das erste Mal, dass ich Lust auf Cosplay hätte...leider weiß ich, dass ich völlig unbegabt bei allem bin, was mit Stoffen und so zu tun hat xDD]
no subject
Ich würde jetzt am liebsten rumtönen, dass das alles gaaaaaanz einfach war, aber äh, da pinku ALLES für mich genäht hat, lasse ich das lieber. XDDD Aber hey, wenn du erstmal mit was einfachem anfängst? Die Lust kommt beim Arbeiten. ;D

(Wir hatten ursprünglich Satin verwendet, daber das sah leider nicht fluffig genug aus)
Sofern du vorhast, den auch zu verwenden: halte dich fern von:
- Bäumen
- Wiesen
- Wäldern
-dem Boden im allgemeinen. XDDDDDDD

Memo an mich: Nur drinnen tragen!

In the end of Saturday, I thought it might've been a bit awkward, since our small fangroup just kept running after you ponies. :P
no subject
Uh.. yeah it was awkward, if I might say so because NO ONE WAS TALKING...XD But it will be better during Animagic I think. We know each other, eh. xD
