LA Vaca Day 4

Day 4 was my second photo shoot.  I did guro lolita which is basically like a bloody doll.  I woke up earlier than my friend because she was going to be a fox and that was easy.  Also, she drank the night before at KBBQ.  After I was basically done, I woke her up.  She tried on her fox costume only to discover that the top was too big on her.  SO instead, she just put on the orange wig and wore normal clothes.

For the photo shoot today, we went to the Figueroa Hotel.  It’s actually really cool.  It’s dimly lit and has this Moroccan, Indian feel to it.  The entire place was shades of yellow and amber.  Very rich and very exotic.  There were some great pictures from that shoot.

LA Vaca Day 3

Finally, FIRST DAY OF CON!

We got up early to get everything together.  We were doing our most elaborate cosplay that day so it took time.  First the make-up, then the costume, and finally the wig.  The wig totally reminded me of why I hate having long hair.  By the time we were done, we were almost late to our photoshoot so we took a cab to the convention center.

First day was fun.  We did the photoshoot and then headed into the hall to wait for our panels.  The exhibitor floor wasn’t open yet.  We attended the Anime Club Summit panel since I’m the president of my club.  It was very informational and gave me some ideas of what to bring to the new year.  We’ll just have to see if they work out.  After than we attended one about skimpy cosplays which was interesting.  I need to get some topstick and dance tights pronto.
