BANANAS GO AMORE

My oh My it's been a while since we have updated!

But less explaining, more speaking:)

I would like to write a long list of beautiful costumes here and tell how we are proceeding but right now, we don't even have any actual plans!

Mainly because there aren't any conventions closing up and because we live in two different cities and don't discuss as much and get those stupid ideas:D

Have an idea for a cosplay? tell us! We are more than happy to get ideas:D

Oh, but why am I writing if there's nothing cosplay related?

Oh well there is!

I've been sending some e-mails, organizing things a little and BOWCHICKAWAHWAH We are now bringing something new to the finnish conventions!

Back in the summer when we attended Närcon (so many memories ;__;) We also attended to this event called 'SpeedMeeting'

Basically it's an event where people stand facing one another, discuss for 2-3 minutes and switch partners! And if you want to leave, then leave! And come back any time:D

And then, as we sailed back to Finland, our synchronized twin-minds began to come up with an idea:
Why don't we take this idea, and bring it to Finnish conventions as well?

I mean, every Finn knows how hard it is to make new friends?  Finnish conventions need this!

Lonely? Let Momo and Poke find you friends! LET'S BE FRIENDS WITH EACH OTHER!

No one is lonely when everyone has friends, done deal!

Other than that, we are really struggling with choosing the costumes! Maybe we could do something like this?

Would be easy and cheap? I don't know how conventions think about nudity though...

Well, I think I'm done here

Yours,

Momo

(and Poke who has nothing to do with writing this)

P.S

AFTER TRACON

Oh hi,

Yes. We still exist.

Firstly, I'm sorry for this break between our updates. We have been so busy that we've been too busy to be busy. Get it?

No rly. Poke has been having her finals (that are now partly over!) and I, Momo have been doing something unnecessary like moving out from home to another city and starting at a new school. You know, easy stuff.

I guess this explains it well enough:D

Let's get back to business!

After recovering from Närcon, our minds totally forgot cosplay and we left to Italy without actually realizing that after that trip we should be ready with our costumes for Tracon (Black Widow and Iron Man) which, by then were only started  at the state of our minds, and of course - they weren't ready to be wore  to Tracon so we had to make a change of plans!

In a very short period of time (5 hours) we (or Poke) came up with these costumes!

Lady flash and Black Canary both from DC Comics and it was such a relieve to get them done! At least, almost in time, which leads us to the topic of our Panel: 'The collected excuses for cosplayers' or ' cossaajan kootut selitykset (in finnish)' and it was a blast! I'd add a video here but I guess we don't have it (yet?)

From our point of view, it didn't went too well since it was our first panel and all and we finished it *ahem* a *ahem* day *ahem* before *ahem* but all the feedback I've read has been positive and lovely and I've been going like:

Thank you everyone!

The rest of the day went by as we randomly hung around the con area and finally went home - nothing much really!

The next day we were supposed to have a bleach group but we ended up not having it after all since Poke couldn't find her hakamas! And we spent all night looking for them! Just imagine: Us digging up all over our house trying to find a pair of hakamas! We finally ended up like this:

and ended up cosplaying:

These characters you've already seen. So nothing much.

We actually didn't do anything special this day either. Just chilling and stuff-

Actually the whole convention went by without us even noticing it:D

So let's wait until Desucon Frostbite so we can give you an actual con report:D

I've actually got a liittle something going on with that too so we might be there hosting a program!  A more interactive one this time so wait for it!

Okay. That's it for now so byebye little cupcakes<3

With Bananas and love,

Momo (and Poke who almost paid attention while I wrote this)

P.s

NÄRCON COUNTDOWN: SOON.

Morning....ngghgnbfghjgkibvn

Ok, let's admit that we just woke up so any grammar mistakes on that!

*Poke yawns loudly* 

*Chain reaction: Momo yawns (louder)*

And now YOU will yawn too! dafuq Poke just yawned o.O

Fine, that's it about the yawning. This isn't a yawning blog after all. bananascanyawnit.blogspot.com? COOL.

Before we go back to cosplay, this is us, ATM! Charming, eh?

Webcam quality 110%

OK Poke was just about to place our cups to the fridge instead of washing machine. FAIL

AAAND we're back to cosplay! (for how long? we'll see)

Yesterday we got our backpacks and started packing! YAY

So this is how Poke's room looks like right now:

phone quality. WHERE IS POKE'S DSLR WHEN NEEDED?!

If you look closely, you might even see some camping stuff! And Momo's Akatsuki sleeping bag! Oh god why

And Tousen sword on the table! And a lamp!!! Yeah.

Our costumes are mostly packed but there's still a bunch of things to do like painting Orihime's boots and triplet shoes and one shirt to be bought..There's plenty of, eh, time?

Also, Momo is required to work from 12-5 pm today and after that, a driving lesson at 6 pm that lasts till 8 pm, so time, Y U NO GROW ON TREES!!!

Gladly the shoes can be painted in Sweden too and that leaves us with only needing to buy a shirt! GREAT!

And no, of course they don't sell plain white dress shirts in Sweden. Not a single chance they would do so.

So today's agenda is to: 

- pack 

- see that we have enough swedish money (which makes us feel very rich since 1 euro is about 8 kronor)

- finish the costumes

- check that we have boat and con tickets all set

- sleep well (since we need to wake up at 3:30 am x_x)

- buy some breakfast that we can eat in the bus when we actually wake up (around 7 am?:D)

Tonight, and only tonight: See how three girls go to sleep at 2:30 am after eating ice cream, chips and chocolate while on 9gag and panicking how to actually fit all of their stuff into their backpacks, where to get more money and how to paint shoes on board without anyone noticing and steal that perfect white dress shirt from that classy sir eating in the restaurant and finally ending up laughing at some stupid words and playing Titanic as the ship sails.

AND HEY! we have business cards on road with us!

and they are exactly how cool?

Poke made these with scissors and paper. and computer (or magical powers)

So we will be handing these over to YOU PEOPLE IN NÄRCON! and maybe to other creatures too...

So, I might just do a couple of advertisements to place to places and so on, you know, the bigger ones with bigger font and..yeah.

I think we're finished here! :O

Me might update tomorrow via phone or not :D 

Yours truly,

Momo and Poke

P.S We are truly out of P.S ideas so have this:

NÄRCON COUNTDOWN: 4 DAYS!

HEYYYYYyyyyyYyYyy

So Närcon is very near!

                              genious, near, närcon is very near hahah..I'm so hilarious..haha..no.

If you would take a walk in our apartment right now, you would be able to see tents and other camping stuff a lot, because we will be staying on the camping area and..camping? Camping is nothing new to us since we are former scouters but camping in cosplay convention?! That's new, we're trying to remember that Linköping is not any small village in the middle of nothing, but a city (about a size of Lahti lol) with all the shops and restaurants! So we're gonna have a citycamping  experience! cool..I guess :D

Our tent is a professional hiking tent with entry hall and bedroom :D sounds good but the reality is..well reality.

Momo and Poke before and after putting up the tent

Our bus/train to Turku harbor leaves at 5:25am from Tampere train station and then we will catch the boat to  Stockholm and finally, when we reach Stockholm we will take the train to Linköping and finally arrive to our   destination between 10-12pm, so we have a long trip ahead of us!

What's so cool with this? we'll be waking up from our tent next morning ( hopefully..) and we are able to enjoy Närcon the whole day! yayyyyy!!

And how about our cosplays?

As M0m0 already told you in our last blog, we will be cosplaying as triplets and our bleaches  :3

But, we are still thinking about the hattifatteners, since we haven't even started making them just yet and Närcon will last only until 1 pm on Sunday so..new costumes for 3 hours? nopety nope.

There's also some serious work to do with bleaches (sorry if you find that word irritating, but I'm too lazy to write (fruit) Orihime and Tousen every time.. lol) we still need to do the shoes and I have to redo Tousen's hand...things?

I think that's all

I LIED THAT WASN'T ALL

HAHAHHA

We had this wild thought to make some cool flag to put outside our tent, so any ideas?

Something with bananascandoit on it or something about Finland?

Or maybe some epic warning sign?like beware of the bananas, you might just slip!

I have no ideas but I'll make something up if you don't give me any ideas ;(GIVE AAAALL THE  IDEAS

We will also be promoting our blog in Närcon!

We will make these kind of small advertisements that will be coool but you'll see them after Närcon (or in Närcon ;D )

That's really all!

With fruity wishes,

-Poke

PS. I have nothing to put here so enjoy this:

SWORDS AND WIP

Hello our  precious readers!

This is just a short post about Kaname Tousen's sword, since I'm on philosophy class and I shoould be studying!

Momo is soo jelly because her character has no SWORD! OR ANY OTHER COOL PROP!!!

U jelly Momo?

She only has some lame magic powers...LAAAMMMMEEEEE

off to the tuto.

At first I cut the shape out of thin wood.
Then I managed to find some thicker wood and made the handle out of two pieces of wood, and made it look a bit nicer with sand paper.
Before attaching the handle, I cut and made holes to handlecover?? W/e the part thats between the blade and handle!!216*&%#%/
Then I just simply attached the parts together and made the blade look like a blade. Simple as fuck.

Btw.the handle strings sucks hard. Gotta redo dat.

I still need to paint it and cover the blade cover with fabric.

Yo dawg I heard you like covers.

Here's some photos.
