Mani-Main-Madman??

A day in September at some ridiculous hour of the morning, a time where most of my work gets done the day before it's due xD. Also the time i'll update my journal because i'll never be bothered to do it during daylight hours x'D.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Manifest
First Manifest i've ever been to, and the first time i've been to Melbourne in quite a few years. Reasons to return to Melbourne:
- food >> SO MANY CAFES AND COOL PLACES TO EAT *o*!!!
- trams >> I'm never looking at buses the same ever again. ><"
- people >> The Melbournian cosplay crowd are just plain awesome 8D.
- convenience stores >> seriously, everything is open all the time .

As for the convention:
+ve >> open area, not crowded, relaxed atmosphere, nice weather, people ^^
-ve >> not a lot to do, volunteers/staff D'x,
Didn't have any mad rush for a competition or anything for the first time this year, so it was a refreshing experience just being able to bum around the whole day xD.

Saturday
Fixed up/rewore Jing for Saturday. Lovely wind, great weather for capes xD. I actually couldn't dig up any facebook pictures to post here (shows how popular Jing is x'D), but new deviations should hopefully be up soon ^^".

Sunday
Mahmut day 8D! Cosplay is funny, you only realise what's wrong with your costume the day you wear it and walk around xD. Bits kept slipping, chain snapped (lost my whistle ;;A;; ), and Iskandar put on weight D8.


Mahmut + +   = Desert Troupe??

Big thanks to everyone who accommodated us and shared in the festivities over the weekend, it was really good fun!!

Main Animania
Flying down for Main Animania...next week O_O", for more fun times! Really excited to watch the WCS preliminary finals round, good luck to all the teams participating next weekend!! For me, just gonna be another chilled, recyclable weekend, not making anything newly amazing this time around x'D.

Saturday - Star Driver - Takuto Tsunashi (with rave swords 8D).

Just realised i've only worn this costume to a convention once X_X", so I thought i'd dust it off and bring it to Main for more fabulous fun 8D. I'll be cosing by myself for this one, so any Star Driver peeps come and join meeeeee!

Sunday - Luffy - One Piece (Sabaody Arc)
's group, along with + Pappug, we have (almost?) the whole Sabaody Arc cast 8D!!!

Hope the weather isn't too cold this day, otherwise we're all gonna freeze *_*""

Madman Nationals
If you've been watching 's journal (which everyone should be doing 8D!), we've revealed our plans for the MNCC finals in November! Our characters are Alucard and Aeon from Castlevania: Judgment.

// Alucard


// Aeon


In doing so, we managed to reveal 's and 's plans for the finals too >8D! Just have to make the costumes and wring out a fun skit before November. Gotta get all my uni stuff done at the same time ><".
Good luck to all of the other finalists ~ !!!

Other stuff

---------------------------------------------
Almost halfway through the uni semester, and three-quarters of the way through the year already! Had a rollercoaster year so far, stuck in the dip of the ride at the moment, so i've been channelling nothing but costume calamities, musical magic and creative home cooking in the past few weeks, haha ^^". Life spirit shall hopefully return soon!!

For those of you going to Main next weekend, come around and say hi/throw glitter at me if you see me around, it'd be great to catch up with/meet Sydneyans!
Otherwise, see you around in the next journal update!
