Warghhh my con reports are getting later and later as this year goes by LOL.
The SMASH weekend this year was pretty hectic omg~ I was part of the staff (Panel's Assistant with the lovely
as my bossu LOL 8D) so yes the lead up to the con was stressful, although I can't even begin to imagine how stressful it was for all the proper members of staff. I'm seriously grateful for such an amazing group of people to be organising this event, they've put so much work into it for it to be the best anime con in Australia! Not saying this because I'm part of staff nope LOL~
On the Friday, I went to help set up at the con and hung around with friends while they were setting up. Got to meet up with lots of people from the Sydney coscomm as well as some Melbournians from when I crashed their Vocaloid Senbonzakura shoot! Thanks for letting me bum around and ogle at your fabulous badassery
ehehehe
TBH I'm laughing that you're all listing me as a helper in your deviations HAHAHA I DID NOTHINGGGG <33333
omnomnom
It was really nice to meet you properly
! It was cool seeing you again
! And to
who dropped by!! Sorry I was so awkward lol :'D
Then Harmony slept over and I helped her sew/style the wig for her ikemen Cyrus, one of the SMASHcon mascots!! lol this weekend really ran us both down, didn't it?
The morning of SMASH we kinda overslept so we arrived late orz"" I can't report much about the con itself since I was helping out in the Panels room for a good portion, but it was so good to see everyone even if it was or a 5min chat!! So many interstate people I didn't realise I really missed until I saw them! And it was so good to meet cosplayers I've admired for a while in person too~ I'm too afraid to list everyone here because I know I'll forget someone ajdhhabkkhajkasd :C
Oh yes, during my breaks I hung around the Project Prince table and bothered my UtaPri team
who were actually working hard, selling our ROM ehehe :> We've basically sold out of them btw! Thank you everyone who supported us!!We shared a table with the faaabulous
and
who were selling their amazing MasaRen photobook mmmm~ And just a couple of tables away from us
and
were selling their NatsukiSho photobook (I didn't get to see enough of you two D: brisneybourne again pls)!! UTAPRI con!!
And omg I can't forget
's adorable Cardcaptors photobook, and
and
(our Masachan and Ren from Project Prince)'s beautiful Angel Sanctuary photobook of angst and lumberjack beard LOOOL
Panels was a really cool experience, we got to see so many awesome tips from the Steampunk panel by
and Varia, see a lot of hilarious scenes from Madman's anime screenings and see lots of cute co-ords in the Harajuku fashion panel to name a few! >3<
Oh and I cosplayed as Satsuki Shinomiya since I wasn't bothered wearing the glasses all day :'D Thanks again
for lending me your awesome outfit <3
Yep, my wig died that day \o/
Thanks so much
for the photo! Only proper one I got that day oho oho hoh~~
Ahhhh I don't remember much else that happened, so I'm gonna skip to after the con LOL
I bummed around near the UtaPri debut shoot that was happening outside for a bit and then Harmony and I went back to my place to sew some more for the Torchwood shoot the next day! Lots of hysterical laughter and crying happened lololol we were so dead :'D
The next day our Owen came over so I could style his wig (while still crying/laughing) and I rushed to finish my trenchcoat ahahah orz" Sorry Harmony, never again xD;;; Thank you so much for helping and teaching meeee <3333
And then the Torchwood shoot of freezing(not pictured) and Janto(also not pictured) happened!! I cosplayed a fail!Suzie Costello~

Today was our second Torchwood shoot, also organised by Harmony (I'm mentioning you a lot in this post lmao), also known as the shoot of freezing and Gwowen UST :U!! I never learn and always manage to not wear enough for the weather, so I ended up wearing the trenchcoat home haha~
