Hey Readers!
So sorry for the entire lack of updates these past few weeks, we have both had one thing after another, new jobs, current jobs, conventions, graduations, dinners, etc. But we are here and we are back to bring the best of the beautiful and the bizarre that we have discovered over the course of the past while and to make up for our complete lack of updates, we are blogging everyday from today until next Tuesday! An entire week of posts just for your eyes!
Today, we are going to start with Q-con. Q-con is our local Anime and Gaming convention that happens every year around the end of June. We pre-booked weekend tickets as it was cheaper to do so but unfortunately Sami was only able to attend the evening events due to Induction training for her new job, so this post will be brought to you by Jesse! Enjoy!
Well hey and welcome back, as you can already tell I am an anime geek. I love it all. :p When people think of Anime, they think of cartoons, however there is a lot more to it than that. A lot of people cosplay at these conventions and there was a big turn out of cosplayers at this convention. There are many types of cosply such as: lolita types, school girl types (kogal), gothic (visual kei) and even manba (this is were they have really tanned skin and white eyes). Here are a few pictures of cosplayers that we managed to take:
In order of appearance they are meant to be the following characters:Rin Kagamine from Vocaloid, some of the members of organization XIII from Kingdom of Hearts with Tokiko Tsumura from Buso Renkin, Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto, Hakuoro from Utawarerumono, the Mario crew with Monkey D Luffy from One Piece, Vergil from Devil May Cry, and the crew from Kuroshitsuji.
Me and Sami didn't dress up this year though I did want too, I was interested in going as a member of Ouran High School Host Club. You can find many Cosplay costumes on Ebay or a simple Google search will return many options. I did wear t-shirts that I made on Cafepress which have some of my favourite Anime characters on them such as Ichigo Kurosaki, the Ouran High School Host Club crew and a Skip Beat one. I also wore my hair up in a bow headband, which made me look like I had ears :p Sami was at work induction training and whilst wearing things appropriate for work, she did a bit of 'nerd chic' and wore a nerdy shirt which had a robot on it saying 'Hug me' from New Look. A newer version of it can be found here.
New Look often has a range of printed tees in with bold/nerdy statements on them and they are currently doing offers such as 2 printed tees for £10-£14 depending on which range you choose from! Currently, the kids range has loads of cute ones I hope to see transferred to the adult section, such as this panda tshirt which is totally cute! As far as 'nerd chic' goes, wearing skinny jeans, converses and a statement tee works, also add braces and large black-rimmed glasses for the extra nerdy effect. Maybe we will do an a post on casual nerd chic and show you what we mean!
For now though, we hope you enjoyed our cosplay pics and if you see yourself and want your name posted under your picture either let us know in the comments (we really would appreciate some of those too!!) or by emailing us at beautifulbizarre@gmail.com.
