Bananas can cook it.
Get ready to awesome recipes and wicked cooking ways, you've never seen before!! learn how to make five minutes cakes and how to make eggs explode! take trip to our kitchen and explore whether bananas can cook or not!!
so we are about to finally feed our food blog, it will brobably be bilingual since we have so many nationalities within our readers.
but why bilingual? why not only in english?
because food blog is a food blog, and I can tell that it's helpful to "sell" it in finland when finns can just use the recipes, without translating them first :)
I will share the link with you when we are done with the welcoming entry!!
this has been a long term plan, but just now it feels like it's time to finally get started!!
with love; Poke
ps. though we're starting a brand new blog, I promise bananas can still do it, this blog ain't going nowhere!
Hello everyone! once again it's time to write some total nonsense.
well, not total nonsense, since this is a cosplay blog and I'm going to tell you about my cosplay situation.
So as you know, I'm still working on Cain Nightroad though I have already used it once....but it doesn't mean it's ready does it?
I'm looking forward to his wings, I've never done wings before, but it's all written in my head, how to glue all the feathers and how to attach all the leds and....oh yeah! how to attach leds, by leds, I mean led lights.
yes leds. inside the wings, leds inside the wiiiiinnnggggssss. glowing wings. coooooooolllnesss.
ok, enough of that epic glowing wings shit.
I suppose we'll have to buy christmas lights, since they are cheap, and theres many of them in one packet :0
oh yeah glowing wiiiiinnnggggssss! go on, try to say it out loud! glowing wiiiiinnnggggssss!!
once more! glowing wiiiiinnnggggssss!!
I guess this turned out to be another nonsense blog entry, and momo is brobably going to kill me because of another worthless piece of poop.
but I can always fly away with my glowing wiiiiinnnggggssss!!!!!
yours: Poke.
glowing wiiiiinnnggggssss.
btw, this is how I would look if I was fat. hot huh?
Don't you just hate when morning doesn't go as you planned?
this is my story about this morning, nothing to do with cosplay though, but fail enough to be shared with you my fellow readers.
So. Practically, it's still morning. so more fail is still possible. it's 8.30 right now :(
oh well, here we go.
so it all started yesterday, I was colouring my hair, bright blond as it was promised in the yellow packet of peroxides and poisons. Well, bright it is...blond...not. so it turned out to be bright yellow and hooray, I literally look like banana for now. After the screaming sunflower moment, I decided to try if silver shampoo would make it any less sunflowerish but oh, the blond highlites I had had before the poison bottle, turned into platinum blond, but the rest of the hair...still golden as sun.
so the morning came.
when I woke up, late as hell, the first thing I saw was....a mirror. Some odd girl with sunflowerfield on her head stared at me, it took like 15 minutes to realise it was me, just the hair was still odd. Well, since I couldn't ripen the flowers in my head, I just tied it up, so the blond highlights would cover the most yellow..and I put a huge flower (not sunflower though.) to gain attention so no-one would think my hair, but the flower. Sounds sneaky ha?
Well, off to bus stop, and off to coffee house.
coffee house. Epic fail house more likely. My mouth wasn't listening to my brain, so I ordered moccachino as usual though I had planned to order cafe mocca and croissant :( so no croissant for me :((((
well, there I was, stepping into the bus and trying to relax. And as usually I was doing my makeup during the bus trip. I shouldn't have done that, if the hair and the coffee house wasn't fail enough, I somehow managed to drop my eyeshadow palette, and it flew nicely all the way to the bus floor, quite far from where I was sitting and crashed into million little pieces...
but there's still more fail...
I was just finished doing my make up, when I refailed with my coffee ( which was too sweet btw) and managed to throw it all over my face!!! And I had_just_finished_my_makeup!!!77111 and haha ha. By that time I was already so close to our school, that I didn't have time to fix it!
so there I was 5 minutes late, arriving to my history lesson, face all red, hair all yellow, and jacket all coffeed up.
that was my story.
good ducking morning everyone.
With bananas: Poke.
ps, if you find large amount of typo, claim the morning of fails.
I'm currently having a swedish lesson and this is a,way too boring so I thought I should like..update?
I thought over many issues and bang! It hit me. I will write about something that crosses my (and every cosplayer's) mind a lot. Which means that the topic of this blog will be *drums* money.
Whether you cosplay a robot or one of those bikinigirls it will never be free. Mostly we finally tend to choose characters with 5-layered wedding dress and 6-meter tall sword and platforms -and mostly we end up realizing that it's gonna cost an arm and leg.
One cosplay will cost from 25 to 500 euros on average. (like 25 was ever enough...*sets a few flies free from wallet*) of course it depends on what is your character but the fact is,that everything costs money.
Due to the fact that cosplay is expensive, I'm gonna tell you how to spare some money (or how we do it)
1. Fabric. If your costume is black, you will find dozens of options from 5 to 195 euros a meter. What should be taken into consideration is how shiny and thick the fabric actually is. The most expensive one is probably not the best (at least your wallet thinks that) whereas the cheapest one is probably neither that good. Of course it's always tempting when you see a fabric that costs only 3.99 a meter and a thought of being a scrooge crosses your mind. You tend to think that "it doesn't really matter if this has some glitter on it..or those flowers.." (that wasn't my way of thinking..no way) My advice is to spend an hour or two in a fabric store and finally find the one you're looking for (at this point, you probably don't give a shit what it costs)
2. Ebay. It doesn't matter whether it's the wig or shoes or some material, you'll most likely get it from ebay. If you choose free shipping and buy it now, you'll get the prices straight! Easy as a fu...silli. I recommend a seller called wigglamour, fast shipping, low prices! I can always trust on them (all of our wigs except suigetsu and sasuke are from wigglamour) they also have a very high quality kanekalons and thick wigs w/ heat resistance. *advertiser momo is back*
The point is that ebay is cheap, buy everything from there.
3.accomodation and travelling to conventions. This is the funny part of cosplay. The cheapest way of travelling is by car with friends. Fuel costs divided into 5 are usually very low! Of course there are buses and trains if you don't happen to have a car..
Accomodation is another drag. You can always try and get a free sleeping place from a friend but they rarely have space or live around. Then there are the school accommodations that cost around 7 euros a night. They are nice places to meet new people but usually they suck if you happen to have costume that is a little cpmplicated, it is uprageous to try and do it with 98 others and one mirror. The basic night on school accommodation involves snoring animegirls, crazy hetalists and an unconfortable bed. That's when we move to hotels and hostels, where you will get an own shower, bed, wc,fridge and a good night sleep. The only problem is the price so if you want to go cheap, pack a tent;)
To conclude, the best way of sparing money is to cosplay characters like the ones below, sleep in tents or train stations, walk to the conventions and buy that glitter fabric. Or more, you can always photoshop the costumes on you and watch con videos, for free!
Right now we are on the countryside without any USB wire for the camera so still no proper WIP pics ;<
Poke just reminded that we do have a web camera (oh noes)
"in real life, we are ninjas"
we all love Pokes hair, don't we?
Well. Off from offtopic. Yeah.

Our next project will be the whole crusnik versions and there are some led lights coming on their way...oh yeahh
I can actually add a few more pictures here ( I have no idea if their all gonna be in the end but we'll manage, right?)
So some WIP's and some other shit as well (random stuff from my phone)
