DESUCON COUNTDOWN: 4 DAYS

Hello again sweeties!

I will now apologise for the lack of pictures in this post because Poke is somewhere and I have no idea where her camera is so live with it. May update later with some cool photos oh yeah. I will also shamelessly steal photos from Poke's twitter and mine as well. Enough explaining, let's go to the thing itself.

Actually, the reason I'm writing is that our progress with the cosplays for Desucon has come to the point where we just sit and stare with our eyes open. 

Yes, you probably guessed it. Out of four cosplays that are going to be in Desucon, two are finished! Yes, finished. Those two are Chihiro and Prince Philip! 

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of the finished costumes (yet) but Poke did upload some WIPs to her Twitter, see Prince Charming and Aurora as well.

I know we're pretty. Actually what you can see in these pics are the wigs. I could tell something about them but that'd be 5000 words so let's leave that for later. I also have this very pretty WIP of Aurora, from which you can see that it's almost done!

After this pic I've actually made the white collar part and some other stuff. To put it briefly, all Aurora needs is to paint the necklace and do some final stitches and paint the lining of that hem. I just don't like the lighter shade of pink in it so painting it is. Over 6 meters of painting a 1 cm thin lining. Yay?

Something more of Aurora, I've received her contacts. (Also stole this pic from my Twitter)

I would love them to cover more but it's too late to order another pair so they must do!

To leave Aurora Behind and go for Haku, the costume is also almost done! Only thing missing is the hakamas. My Chihiro hakamas took 15 minutes to make so...almost done!

So Desucon, feel free to come. We are ready to face you on Friday!

Other than that, see what I did this time with our costumes!

Here's Aurora and Chihiro in their plastic bags, all labeled which makes it easy to find the unfinished costumes when you can find the time to do so. Easy, easier, easiest, control freak Momo level. 

Speaking of me, I have started something that has nothing to do with cosplay. I have decided to take part on Triathlon and Poke has agreed to come with me. I don't even know how Poke has trained but I've started some pretty intense training! Feels great and allows some more muscly cosplays in the future:D

Have some sporty Momo:

If you don't know what's Triathlon, google the shit lol.

I will try and make Poke update before Desucon where we will be going by car because I got my driver's license. Eek. Our car is from our grandparents and it has MIU on it's plates so NEKOCAR here we come.

See you all in Desucon,,

xoxo

Momo (and Poke who's again nowhere to be found.)

P.s Anyone heading to Fanfest?  We will and may even host a programme so be there!!!!

P.P.S SpeedMeeting in Desucon!!!!!!!! JOIN US.

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:

Few pots for hots.

This will be all commercial entry.

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!
