Post-MCM post

 So October MCM 2013 in London will forever be.... the first time I got con-flu. Having finally recovered and caught up with stuff, I can now show you lovely people the... lack of photos I had taken of my costumes...

Friday I drove up to London for the first time, and the people I was room-sharing with didn't arrive 'till late, so I didn't cosplay. I did get a nice look round the dealer's room, and actually bought some stuff for a change though.

Saturday was the big one - the Jak and Daxter group with Jenny and Naomi (and Matt, but I drag him everywhere). I'd finished the costumes for Matt and myself the day before we left, so I was pretty pleased with how they came out, even if the rush to finish meant that I didn't seal the paint and wig dye again rain... and of course it rained on Saturday. Once the weather cleared up though, it was great fun, and lots of people recognised us, which was heartening.


Sunday we wore out Attack on Titan uniforms. I think I've found the definition of nerve-wracking - making a jacket and fully body harness which someone tries on half an hour before they want to wear it to a con. Oh well, everything mostly fit, and we met a ton more awesome AoT cosplayers, so that costume'll definitely be a keeper.

All in all, expo was great (a tad cold), despite the few teething problems that the new ticket/queueing system had.
Next projects include: Ms Marvel (Earth's Mightiest Heroes) and Faye (Cowboy Bebop). Keep posted.
