GURLS STEP UP TO THE PARTAYY

Yo mah fellow cosplayas! How's the thug life rollin' in da hoodz?

Yo brotha play dat track whil ya take a luk at this wacka damn post by M.O.M.O and po-K!

It'z supa cool ya know? Just get in da mood shawt's cuz this is gon' b so damn gr8 piece of txt!!

Ok ok ok. Let me get into god news. I'm going to write the rest of this post with a normal(ish) English.

Why did I ask you to play that song? Well firstly, IT'S SO GOD DAMN GREAT. Secondly, the lyrics kind of match our current cosplay motivation and thirdly, our costumes are almost done. Yes you heard right. Almost done. Which is kind of good since Desucon Frostbite will be held in a week. Omg yes. In a week.

For me, Momo, the situation is looking quite good already!! My coat is ready and my bootcovers only lack laces and then boom! I'm done. Ok I need to attach the front piece to the jacket and the bow as well but prfft that's an easy job, isn't it?
As for the scythe, the situation isn't looking as god but I will get to paint it tomorrow so close enough?
Seriously though, I need to give a big applause to myself. During this weekend I've:

- painted all the fucking squares to the whole costume (there were around 30 damn squares.)
- sewn the cuffs to the sleeves
- attached the hem to the upper part
- the collars
- the scythe into the point where I just cover it and paint it.
- bootcovers nearly done
- wigstyling for both me and Poke.
- Ok I've fucking moved this costume from point 20% done to 95% done. THAT'S ALOT.
- (gotten a new phone and finished my school assignments ok lol nope)

Desucon Frostbite is on the worst weekend possible for me since I have a load of exams and assignments coming up just before it and also right after it so you will be finding a bookworm Momo with a cute Marketing book from our hotel room. Haha. Hahahahahaha. Nope. Like I really could study during the convention? Lol nope.
And yes. I'm only doing one cosplay for the whole convention though I may  use one of my old cosplays on Sunday. (Black Canary? Seriously I have no idea:D)

Now let me hand the power over to my bro Pok-E yo dawg.

SSUP  YALL? IT'S POKEY DOKEY POK-E THE BIG E YALL KNOW- oh enough? okay

SO my costumes for the weekend are doing quite fine too! In fact, to speak the truth, both costumes are fucking 90% or more done yissssss.

Okay, so Harley Quinn  is basically ready, all I need to do is some little finish up with the details and stuff like that, so getting in there may I say? But my deadline with Harley Quinn is..oh well in four days, since I'm wearing it to the Penkkari's (scroll down few posts to get the explanation..)
Momo made so cool-looking list so yeah this is me copying her, deal with it.

-Dress is done, all it needs is some basic finishing like you know, cutting the threads and you know, basic.
-The collar lacks few stitches, but I'll get there as soon as I find a needle, seriously, ALL our hand-sewing needles have gone missing...
-Shoes are styled and done
-I made the coolest ring!
-I bought 5 pairs of white stockings, just in case (they were 1.50euros/5 pairs so not a great loss?)
-I made cool hammer with you know, cool stuff and so on.
-The hammer is cooolll
-coool hammer I haz
-HAMMER TIEM
-um yeah. The wig needs fixing but Momo is on it.

AND then I have the lovely Jim Moriarty.

I'm pretty much done with him too, only the crown has lots to do but I'm on it...and I've taken my cosplay to whole new level by learning ALL Jim's lines from the show, how cool is that?
But because  lists are cool:
-The cape has still some stuff to do...like boring sewing stuff
-but it's almost there
-The crown lacks some BLING DA BLING BLING and some FUR DA FUR FUR YO DAWG I'M THE KING YALLLL
-and then there are the trousers...I have no idea.
- make up is being under rehearsals
-shirt and shoes I haz.

I think that's it about them, Momo got anything left?

Well...I could throw a few words about our program during the weekend. BECAUSE POKE MADE THESE AWESOME POSTERS AND AWW YISS.

number 1



AAND number 2



Mad paint skills, huh?

However Desucon Frostbite is going to be Legen...wait for it..dary! (Because we are there, duh?)

Yeah. But really. We are really looking forward to it and if you're coming, then hey IT'S ONLY A WEEK AWAY. Time to flip dat shit if your cosplay is not done or worse, even started.

However it's 1.16 AM and I should really go to bed since I will wake up early tomorrow to make my scythe. "Yay." (Nay.) Good night our dear readers ♥

With love,

Momo and Poke

P.S Listened to that song at the start? THAT'S NOT EVEN A WEIRD SONG FOR US. Yesterday we listened to Darin.

Yes. Darin.

If you still remember him, you're cool.

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

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:

MEMORIES, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES...

sooo, even though momo has  officially told me to not write nonsense entries, I decided to do one.

but! this is all about cosplay!

Few days ago I began to think, what is behind this awesome hobby we've ran into!

and I managed to find some proves that cosplay has been so close but so far troughout the years.

but no more words, I'll let pictures speak!

these photos are awfully old and momo is brobably going to butcher me for publishing them but here you go!
