Fanime 2012 Photo Dump

I went to Fanime Con 2012 over Memorial Day weekend.  I opted to spend my cosplay budget on lolita, and subsequently wore lolita during the entire convention. Hehe.

Day 1 - Friday

We didn't get to the convention until after 4pm and the pre-registration line was out to the street!  We waited in line for 3 hours to get our badges. (T_T)  I was told that the general admittance line was actually shorter!  For the first day, I wore BTSSB Pony in Sweet Dreams.

BTSSB - JSK (Pony in Sweet Dreams), head bow, socks, purse, parasol

Angelic Pretty - Blouse, ring, wrist cuffs

Everything else is off-brand

This hairstyle took me forever; it's a pain to pin up wigs with bobby pins because the top portion of the wig has a fake scalp and the pins can't penetrate it.  I finally got lazy and left a portion of it down in style of Marie Antoinette.

Hamutaro endured the grueling line with me.  I almost bought one of these suits in the dealer's hall. (^_^;)

What can I say? Boys can love Kiki too. ^^


Day 2 - Saturday

The lolita fashion show was scheduled for Saturday so I decided to wear my newest dress, Toy Parade from Angelic Pretty.

Close-up so you can see the contacts.

I got pictures with Ashlyn and Jeanine, who are wearing dresses from the lolita fashion show.  I see these girls regularly at local meet-ups. ^^

I think I was jumping up and down when I spotted Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.  Her skirt is made out of real potato chip bags!

This is a shot with my sister and brother.  I tried to get up on the wall to sit with them, but I only scuffed my shoes and, as you can see, I didn't make it onto the wall.

I ran into Erika, who I first met at the Angelic Pretty Anniversary last year.  At that time she was reserving Decoration Dream, which she's wearing now.  I also recently purchased the JSK in yellow and can't wait to wear it!

In the evening, my brother and I returned to the convention.  I tried for gyaru, but I didn't get a picture of my outfit! (T_T)  Oddly enough, I ended up at a rave dancing next to Flynn (Tron) and Domo.



Day 3 - Sunday

Sunday was a double-booked event, so we dropped by the lolita picnic for about 30 minutes before heading over the Cafe V.  I didn't get any group pictures, but snapped a few with some friends.

AATP - OP (Melty Mermaid), head piece

Angelic Pretty - purse, wrist cuffs

Offbrand - everything else

Cafe V isn't part of Fanime, but it was scheduled at the same time for obvious reasons.  For me, Cafe V was by far the best part of the convention.  It was my first time and I'm excited for the next one!

Ryuusei and Nobu came over to the convention to escort us to the tea house.  In a spur of courageousness I volunteered to be escorted by Ryuusei personally.
