We're back from MetroCon 2005...it was a blast! God performed some miracles and opened a spot for Cosplay Kingdom in the main dealer's room...AWAY from the copycat ladies...amen for that! (^_^) We did pretty good, considering that each year the anime hat craze seems to tone down...and the competition seems to grow more...even with some dealers who keep checking out our new cosplay creations to copy them as well...not fair...but we keep moving on.
We initiated Loida in the anime con way with a Sesshomaru hat...
Mama securing the famous Miroku staff in place...
Loida sketching to kill time...
We also got to hang out with Matt, our favorite Naota cosplayer whom we met at last year's MetroCon...he was our inspiration for the Takun-headband...so we had to get our picture with him! This one is for Evetzie! (^_-)v
Chris and Maurice came by our table on Friday and Saturday and they were quite chatty compared to other times in the past...so we were excited about that! On Saturday night we watched Maurice, Johnny and Alex, the newest member of Eyeshine, perform...it was a lot of fun, even with all the technical/sound difficulties.
Even Chewbacca had lots of fun at the concert...even Johnny had to give him a Wookie greeting... (^_^)
The best part of the night? Meeting and chatting with Greg Ayres (voice actor for Yuya) and Luci Christian (voice actress for Ran Kotobuki) who played in my most favorite anime of all time SUPER GALS!
I snuck up to Greg and asked him,"Will you do my homework, Second Place?"(in my best Ran impersonation.) Greg almost fell down to the floor laughing...he then introduced me to Luci who plays one of the coolest roles ever...
"What's up chicken heads! How's it goin'?" It was a riot listening to Luci speak in person...she's my RAN! Too bad I wasn't in costume when I met her, but I got to show her my picture as Ran and she loved it! (^_^) hehehe
On Sunday, Johnny stopped by to say hello...and we could wait to get home...
"Vamonos Loida!"
Playing with the hats while packing up to leave...good convention everyone!
Here are some pictures of other cosplayers that I thought were cool...
I thought this guy was cool until he started asking me to donate money for the Bishounen Relief Fund..."I'm very bishounen and I'm very broke"...hmmm...okay...NEXT!
(bishounen is very good looking guy in Japanese)
Meroko and Takuto from Full Moon wo Sagashite...a very kawaii show that I'm currently watching. I definitely want to cosplay from this show as well...
The cutest Kisa cosplayer ever...she looked even cuter with our Kisa hat!
And of course, I almost died laughing when I saw this Mr. Fried Chicken cosplayer...pretty cool, huh?!
