Soooo sorry for not posting sooner! Well, now I'm going to tell you all about my adventures at Fannatiku Fest 2015 Day 2! XD
So as I mentioned in the last post I stayed up till 3am working on my bodice/corset for my formal/fancy Elsa... which lead to me sleeping in and not being able to leave til almost noon. >_> stupid chores.... So I finally arrived at the convention center around 11:30ish. I was supposed to meet up with my friends from the anime club but I wasn't able to find them, only our advisor. :P Oh, and did I mention that I was ice dress Elsa for the first half of my time at the con? Yeah, I was awesome! XD People actually asked me if they could take my picture!!! XXXDDD DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MAKES ME HAPPY BEING A COSPLAYER?!?!?! VERY HAPPY, THAT'S WHAT!!! XXXDDD Trust me, if a cosplayer has just started cosplaying at at their first or second con someone asks to take their picture is like the most awesome thing ever!!! It's saying that people are recognizing them as being good at what they love to do! Even just a compliment makes a beginner cosplayer's day! Ok, now that I've ranted about that back to my adventures! XD
So I met up with my friend Monica, she was cosplaying as Empress Homestuck troll, I can't remember who it was specifically. It may have been Fefari (idk if that's even how you spell her name. -_-;;; ) but I'm not entirely sure about if that's even who she was. :P I had to look around for her a little bit because I couldn't find her. >_< I found her in the cosplay chess room, she was participating in it this year. :3 I got her 'death' on film and you can watch it on my Fannatiku Fest vlog! :D I will have that up soon...... maybe...... hopefully..... >_> after vloging a bit we ran around the con as the rest of the chess match continued. Not entirely sure what we did in that time and that's what happens when you wait almost a full week before writing all of this stuff down! ^_^;;;; But when we when back into the chess room the match had just ended and they were asking if anyone would like to join the second round if they hadn't signed up for the first, and I was all like "HECK YEAH!!! LET'S DO THIS THING!!!" XXXDDD I ended up being the white bishop. :3 and I died.... but that's ok because it was fun! XD I really wished someone had recorded the second chess match so that I could've been all; "Oh snap! You see that Elsa?! Heck yeah that was me! See how bada...awesome I was?!" XD ^_^;;; And there there was the CMV vloggie thing that Master Rufus (one of the con's mascots) made, WHICH I AM IN. And not only was I in it once but TWICE!!! XXXDDD If you would like to see it please click this link: \\ Fannatiku 2015 // I am the awesome Elsa. ^w^
After the cosplay chess we all hung around a bit and then went out for lunch. We took a big group, like 6 people, and went to the cafe on the college campus in town. We bought a total of about $70 worth of food. And here's the catch, we didn't have to pay for any of it! How crazy is that?! XD I talk about it more in my vlog so watch it when it comes out for more details. :) Then we all came back to the con and ate, while eating my feet started to hurt and so a very nice Slender cosplayer gave me a very nice and relaxing foot massage. :3 So thank you to whoever that Slender cosplayer was because you made my feet feel wonderful. ^w^ After all of that stuff we went back inside and hung out for a bit. I got roped into volunteering for this video for someone's website and it ended up being a ton of fun! ^w^
By the time everything was said and done it was almost time for the Masquerade to start. So I went out to my car and grabbed my Formal/fancy Elsa. I had just the base done, none of the fancy smancy detailing (which I will get done at some point!), and changed into it. I got a lot of people who wanted to take my pic and it made me so happy!!! :D After wandering the halls a bit we, Moni and I along with Moni's friend, went in and got seating for the Masquerade. We sat in the second row from the front and I took up three seats. :D Well, I sat in one chair and my huge skirt took up the other two. ^w^;;; The Masquerade was awesome, I recorded one skit which you can watch here: Kingdom Hearts Skit at Fannatiku Fest 2015 We also met some really awesome cosplayers while waiting for the Masquerade to start. Their cosplay names are V-Fire Cosplay and RENNAgade Cosplay they are awesome and you should check them out. :D
After the Masquerade we all hung out some more and watched the Otaku Dreams Cosplay Cafe perform for all of us. I hope that some one recorded it so I can watch it again! :D If you would like to find out more about them here's their Facebook page: Otaku Dreams Cosplay Cafe I participated in the cafe a little while ago when it was called Rufus' Maid Cafe. The year I participated was the last year that it was called that. They used to do theme cafes such as Clamp characters and Vocaloid. Now they've made it so that they will be making a real cafe where you can buy food and have them entertain you. :3 They are a lovely bunch and you should definitely check them out when you can! :D
After all of that happened we got kicked out so they could prepare for the Wiggle Fest, which is basically just a dance/family friendly rave. It was a ton of fun and I taught my friend Rae how to dance the waltz. :) After hours of laughing and being silly and dancing, my feet were really sore and it was time that the con ended. D: This fact makes me really sad that it's over but It makes me so excited to see how many people will attend next year! Afterward I finally walked out to my car, seeing as you can't really drive (much less sit down!) in a hoop skirt, I had to take it off. Luckily I had shorts on underneath, of course I was wearing these tiny shorts and a corset.... yeah, not the best thing to be walking around in....... =_=;;; Honestly I'll say this now, but I looked like a hooker version of Elsa. I'm so glad that it was past midnight when I left so that little children, and their parents, didn't see me in that state of dress. >_< I arrived home around 12:15am and finally went to bed at 1 in the morning. I'll sign off for now but I'll see you all again next year! :D
