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

THEM EYEGLASSES

Hello again our lovely readers! (updating so soon!)

Today I'm actually going to write about something cosplay related and even make a tutorial!

Today's tutorial is focused on Tsuruko's eyeglasses that were nearly impossible to find!

Because I was lazy and a little scrooge I just bought a pair of eyeglasses that only cost me 3,90 euros! Genious!

I also bought the fabric and shoes for this costume (fabric 14,5€ from Eurokangas, shoes 3€ from flea market) Veeeery cheap again! (cheap is always good)

SO back to the eyeglasses!

The obligatory what you will need list:

- A pair of eyeglasses

- Buffer file

- Nail file (or just replace them both with sandpaper, I was too lazy to try and find some)

- Super glue (or nail glue, if you happen to own a bottle, I used it!)

- Nail polish

- PATIENCE

1. Remove the lenses from the glasses, they should get off quite easily. Unless you really need reading glasses I suggest that you buy the ones with the intensity of 1+ (of course in my case, it makes me even more blind but who cares)

2. Cut off the extra part

3. File the cutting marks off and use buffer to file the glasses all over - otherwise the paint may fall off

4. If your glasses are black, use a nailpolish that is light and covers well - the color doesn't really matter, this is only a bottom layer

5. Once the bottom layer is dry (REALLY DRY) take the red nailpolish and paint the glasses with at least two layers of polish

6. Let dry....if possible overnight!

7. Use the glue to attach the lenses back on their places by pressing them firmly.

8. Let the glue dry properly before trying - otherwise your eyes will hurt (not that I know something about it..*ahem*)

(step 9. Sew Momo's costume)

DONE

derp, derpier, Momo

I'm sorry about the picture quality but I had to use my phones camera so live with eet.

Yay.

Now insert a random fact:

On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonalds BigMac bun.

SERIOUSLY WHO DID THE MATH.

Yeah. Now off to study some International business. Yeah. I'm a business man. Yeeah-

wait.

I'm going to post another blog about the costume once I get it done!!!!!

With love,

Momo

P.S WHY ON EARTH IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A CHEAP TIE THAT IS PLAIN RED!?
