andaraen Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 So next week, I plan on going to an anime/video game/geek culture. I'll even be wearing a costume! Both of those sound pretty yay, right? Unfortunately, my hubby will be out of state because of his job. And since I've only lived where we are for a couple months, I don't know anyone I can go with. And this is me around people I don't know: To top it all off, It's a 30 minute drive to the hotel where it's located and I really, really, really don't like driving. Just driving a few miles down the road to the NEX is nerve-wracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkwright Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ahhhh - that sounds like so much fun! Dw about the negative part just concentrate on how cool its going to be. May I ask what costume you have? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaraen Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 You sure can. :P And I'll even tell you. I'll be wearing a classical lolita style outfit. (Complete with petticoat and bloomers! x3) I'd post a picture of it, but I'm waiting for the skirt and shoes to arrive in the mail. Why can't international shipping be instantaneous?! x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyvren Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Why can't international shipping be instantaneous?! ^ I second that. I want to see what you'll be wearing! NAOW! :O I can't even begin to express how much yay this sounds like to me :P Maybe you could try and imagine that it's your alter ego that's going to the convention/culture? Beyoncé's alter ego is Sasha Fierce, Norma Jean Baker's was Marilyn Monroe and mine's called Dr Indiana (and she always dares to do everything that I'm too scared to do myself ;) ) karmacow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, Dr. Indiana is probably the best name ever! x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 That sounds like such a blast! Conventions and stuff are always scary, but I find that most nerds and geeks are just as socially awkward as I am, so it ends up working out pretty well.

andaraen Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Things are looking up! First, I got my skirt and shoes and they're amazing! I put the outfit on and my husband liked it so much, he melted into a little puddle on the floor. I mopped him up and made him take a picture so you guys could see. And he told me he'll be here for the convention! No driving. No going alone. Great outfit. Can't get much better. :3 Spritzie, Zombiiesque, karmacow and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezza Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 OOh. I know a friend who makes awesome Lolita costumes. She's migrated to California. Her name is Cyril Lumboy and has been featured in lots of articles. Here's her link: dolldelight She looks cute. Anyway, super yay for you! I love expos. I like looking at cosplayers. The event should be finished now. Care to share a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaraen Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sadly, I missed the event because I got sick. :c I'm hoping I'll get to go to one in December. It just depends on hubby not going underway at the same time. (There is no way I'm going to make the three hour drive to Orlando by myself! x.x) And then, there's another one in March that I know he wouldn't want to miss. Neither do I, as several members of the Star Trek: TNG cast will be there. b) Also, WOW. Your friend's costumes are amazing! 0_0 I wish I were half that talented.
