SHERLOCK BBYS, MIDDLE EARTH AND NÄRCON

Hello again our precious readers:)

In this blog post I'm going to tell you so many awesome and lovely things that i'm already sorry for being too excited about everything!

Before I go to the lovely details of last week I will however tell you some cosplay plans since this time...there are plenty! and these are ones that are quite 100% sure.

First of all, our Sherlock cosplays that are mostly done for Poke and half done for me and that will be seen in Tracon and Närcon. Kitty Riley and Jim Moriarty from BBC Sherlock.



Jim's the one on the front and Kitty on the back. Also see our lovely cosplay group (or part of it, there are more!!)

Then for the future, we're about to do these two lovelies from Les Miserables (Cosette and Jean Valjean):

 

And even more to come...Star trek cosplays! (awfully lot of westerns but we're not exactly too fond of anime) Carol Marcus and Keenser from Star Trek! Awesomeness..



And last but not the least, these babies that will be seen in Närcon as well! Galadriel and Samwise Gamgee from The Hobbit/ Lord of the Rings.



WHEW. So many plans for future! I guess our future conventions are quite full...

Actually now that I dug out Galadriel and Sam, I could also talk about the reason we first started to make them. From 8.-11.8 we have this thing called Keskimaan mökkimiitti (Middle earth's cottage meet up wat.) which is held in Kuusamo and just look at the sceneries! It's like made to be a place to shoot LOTR.



Also it's not only the sceneries but also the food is going to be middle earth-ish so basically we're spending 4 days in middle earth. Isn't it perfection? Oh yes it is. I'm actually thrilled now.

Speaking of the things that we're thrilled about, one of them is definitely Närcon! I can't remember if I've told you before but we were actually accepted to host a program in Närcon. It's going to be about the conventions in Finland and how to get here. WE WANT YOU SWEDES. So see you guys in Närcon, please look for Kitty and Jim / Sam and Galadriel.

After Närcon we will be busy with another event called SASSY 2013 which is held  3.8 in Turku. Sassy is a Sherlock event for Sherlockians. What makes this crazy? We were actually invited to attend this event with our awesome Sherlock cosplay group. Please see our tumblr  221B cosplay. It's perfection. We will not only attend SASSY but also go there a day before to chill with our Sherlock bbys. Oh dear these guys are amazing! We've more or less spent the last week with that group...yes, all the nights and all. Amazing. We miss them ;__;

The last but not the least I'm going to tell you something (again) amazing! We are actually hosting a Sherlock programme in Fanfest 2013 this year (5.-6.10.2013) Man we're busy with these conventions lol. No autographs today.

So many things to look forward to! And more to come. I was about to talk about how Sam and Galadriel are doing right now but then I should dig out a memory card and all and meh. Poke will make that update.

I guess this is all, just please all be happy with what you got. And go for it if you get a chance to meet new people they seriously can make your life better. We've met our new cosplay group during the last week and it has been so awesome we just want to cry out of happiness.  You guys deserve a big hug!



With LOVE,

Momo (and Poke)

P.S Poke got accepted to Savonia and will therefore move to Kuopio. Nopenopenope.
P.P.S It turns out Momo isn't the only cosplayer of Valkeakoski. The world has the ability to surprise you.

YO DAWG, WE HERD YOU LIKE PLANS...

...SO WE PUT A PLAN IN YO PLAN SO YOU CAN PLAN WHILE YO PLANNIN'

I think the header pretty much says it all so let me move forward. So we have had some...wat. *A wild dolan appears* *it's SUPER effective*

Oh, alright then. I know. I forgot. Sorry for not updating in a while! I feel like we start our every blog entry by apologising that we never update lol. So back to the start: I apologise for apologising every time I write a blog entry so I can apologise about apologising. *insert another yo dawg face*

For real though, we have been quite busy. Firstly, we haven't really been much to Finland! After Frostbite we flew to London for a week, then spent three weeks in Finland and headed to St. Petersburg by boat. This was the point I, Momo - dropped Poke off and having spent another three weeks in Finland I took off to Germany for 10 days! Needless to say - it has been quite an amazing time for us!

Of course I could mention the fact that I've been struggling with my health and Poke has had her finals and a theatre play to deal with, not to mention the entrance examinations, first of which will be tomorrow to Teatterikorkeakoulu (A Drama/Acting/ Whatever creative related to acting stuff University) so we will be heading to Helsinki later today! Let's all wish her the best of luck!!! (At least she has the best manager with her. *ahem* me *ahem*)

Ok enough memes and personal stuff let's dig in to the serious business and what this blog is about to start with: Cosplay. 

After Desucon Frostbite we sort of forgot cosplay again for a while but quite recently we have had some plans again. And these plans are serious enough to make official so here we go, cosplays and other plans for Desucon 2013:

Friday: Not decided yet. But we do have some plans for Friday because as we told in our previous blog entry, we are hosting a SpeedMeeting again! It is at koivu from 21-23! For Friday we might as well just pull some Amor related outfits on since the day is too short to bother and make new costumes. I have also agreed to go and try this Shibari-workshop with my girlfriend so an interesting day ahead. 

Saturday: Tada! Time to go Disney! We are cosplaying Sleeping beauty and Prince Phillip!

Poke is going to be Phillip and I get to be the princess!!!! I've already started the crown and the wig and I heard that Poke has started her wig as well. On Saturday I'm also going to be quite busy since I have promised to go and help this lady over here with her Euro Cosplay competition. Eek. Let's all wish her luck as well. (If not for her to win, for me, because if she wins, I get to go to London with her! MWAHAHAH)

Later on Saturday I will reunite with Poke and we will be hosting another session of SpeedMeeting! So if you missed us on Friday, you can also come to Koivu on Saturday from 20:30-22:30! I know you all want to come and have new friends and of course - meet us! We're nice and we don't bite. 

Sunday: On Sunday we're just going to chill! So no program to host or any other duties. Whew. We are still making new costumes for Sunday and they're going to be * drum roll* Haku and Chihiro from Spirited away.

We have already ordered the wigs! Cosplay done, eh? nope. We're going to see if we can find some fabric from Helsinki since the fabric stores in Tampere, not to mention Valkeakoski where I live, just suck. 

AAND that was for the Desucon but afraid not! This isn't over yet. As always, I have something going on again. *Mysterious smile* I have been in touch with some people from a certain convention we went last year and cosplayed from Bleach and slept in a tent and it may have been quite far away from our Hometown and an entirely different city...I think you guessed. But nothing's ensured yet so I don't want to make empty promises! All I can say is that we live quite exciting times right now;)

Ok I will now go and kick my girlfriend up from the bed and pack my stuff so that I can head to Helsinki!

Yours,

Momo (And Poke who is about 70km away from me and didn't see this until published.)

P.S Hosting a SpeedMeeting  in Desucon Frostbite also landed us a request to come and host it in Mimicon but sadly we had to turn down that offer:( Still feeling quite great though since this mean we did something right?:D

P.P.S COME AND SEE US ON DESUCON OR I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL SOCIALISE WITH YOU.
