DESUCON FROSTBITE AND SOME SPEEDMEETING

Hello all the lovely people! This is Poke updating our blog again!
Momo just left back to Valkeakoski so this will be all me! BWAHAHAHHAA

I'll start with the last Thursday, this is not entirely cosplay related, but I just want to show you some cool stuff! So on Thursday we had this thing called Penkkarit  and I dressed up as Harley Quinn! You'll see the photos of Harley Quinn later, what I wanted you to see was these supercool signs our class made, I was helping quite a lot so I'm very proud of these lol.
 So I have painted Bane, Superman, Harley Quinn and Loki to this one (and the text), the others were made by my lovely classmates!
And then there's this one which is absolutely fabulous! I didn't do too much work with this one but JUST LOOK AT IT!!! and these are some huge signs, since they cover the sides of a lorry!

Anyways, enough of the Penkkari's, let's talk about..

DESUCON FROSTBITE

I'll make this cool day by day thing as usually :D

Friday:

We started our journey to Desucon Frostbite on Friday morning, with me, Poke, Momo and Hansku (check her blog btw). I had slept like 2,5 hours on last night due to the Penkkarit After Party and Momo and Hansku were also a bit hungover so we kind of..didn't function :D Anyways, we went to Helsinki and just  rolled around (buying manly and womanly pants) for few hours, doing pretty much nothing. The reason why we went there at all, was that our dad was going there and offered to throw us to Lahti since he was on the move already.

As we arrived to Lahti, it took about five minutes to make our room all messy and well, like a cosplayer room. We basically did Momo's costume the whole evening and drank Megaforce since we needed energy!!!!11 (true badasses)

Later in the evening, our friend Amanda joined us (does she have a blog?)

This photo is from Saturday night but..you get the point?

Saturday:

On Saturday morning we woke up at seven, more or less tired. We were ready way before we were supposed to leave, but there's nothing wrong with being early right?
Anyways, I cosplayed Jim Moriarty from BBC Sherlock, with the crown jewels that were hell to make! I'm planning on making some tutorial/ post about the crown itself if I manage to take detailed photos first.


Look at the make up :( it still needs improvement!
So here you go, photos of Moriarty (let's start the Moriparty ntsnts)

Momo, Hansku and Amanda had their Pandora hearts group and I don't have any photos of them all, but here, have Momo!
Note! the wig has fallen slightly in this photo! but you'll have more of her as the photoshoot pictures arrive!

I'm letting Momo tell you more about this cosplay and so on when she has time.

We also had our Speedmeeting on Saturday and god did it go well?
We were both sure there wouldn't be too many people but we were horribly wrong! Before the whole program even officially started, there were many people waiting and oh my god! At first, we were sure they were just some random people who were just chilling in the room after the previous program but NOPE.


So it went quite well! so well, that we were even  asked if we'd like to arrange it at Desucon too! and yes DO WE DOOO

In the evening we went to the evening party, and what happens in the evening party, stays in the evening party...

Sunday:

On Sunday we all slept way too long and yeah, that's it.
I don't have too much to tell really..we just sort of went around and stuff.

OHHH yeah! the cosplay bootcamp! We were at a panel about Cosplay bootcamp and god yes! it sounds just brilliant! Check their Facebook page for more information

We were  also listening this Digimon vs Pokemon thing and it was cool, even though I hardly listened since I was so tired :( but it was loads of fun!

I cosplayed Harley Quinn (also the Penkkari costume) and here's some photos! We didn't take too many of them since it was FREEZING

Then there's Momo and her Black Canary costume, that we failed to shoot in Tracon so we did that now (though not too much since it was still freezing lol)

SO here it is! My beautiful summary about Desucon Frostbite!

I'm playing sophisticated today and going to watch some Shakespeare's Hamlet so yeah, better get ready :D


Your 5ever,

Poke

PS: Have this fab photo of me

GURLS STEP UP TO THE PARTAYY

Yo mah fellow cosplayas! How's the thug life rollin' in da hoodz?

Yo brotha play dat track whil ya take a luk at this wacka damn post by M.O.M.O and po-K!

It'z supa cool ya know? Just get in da mood shawt's cuz this is gon' b so damn gr8 piece of txt!!



Ok ok ok. Let me get into god news. I'm going to write the rest of this post with a normal(ish) English.

Why did I ask you to play that song? Well firstly, IT'S SO GOD DAMN GREAT. Secondly, the lyrics kind of match our current cosplay motivation and thirdly, our costumes are almost done. Yes you heard right. Almost done. Which is kind of good since Desucon Frostbite will be held in a week. Omg yes. In a week.

For me, Momo, the situation is looking quite good already!! My coat is ready and my bootcovers only lack laces and then boom! I'm done. Ok I need to attach the front piece to the jacket and the bow as well but prfft that's an easy job, isn't it?
As for the scythe, the situation isn't looking as god but I will get to paint it tomorrow so close enough?
Seriously though, I need to give a big applause to myself. During this weekend I've:

- painted all the fucking squares to the whole costume (there were around 30 damn squares.)
- sewn the cuffs to the sleeves
- attached the hem to the upper part
- the collars
- the scythe into the point where I just cover it and paint it.
- bootcovers nearly done
- wigstyling for both me and Poke.
- Ok I've fucking moved this costume from point 20% done to 95% done. THAT'S ALOT.
- (gotten a new phone and finished my school assignments ok lol nope)

Desucon Frostbite is on the worst weekend possible for me since I have a load of exams and assignments coming up just before it and also right after it so you will be finding a bookworm Momo with a cute Marketing book from our hotel room. Haha. Hahahahahaha. Nope. Like I really could study during the convention? Lol nope.
And yes. I'm only doing one cosplay for the whole convention though I may  use one of my old cosplays on Sunday. (Black Canary? Seriously I have no idea:D)

Now let me hand the power over to my bro Pok-E yo dawg.

SSUP  YALL? IT'S POKEY DOKEY POK-E THE BIG E YALL KNOW- oh enough? okay

SO my costumes for the weekend are doing quite fine too! In fact, to speak the truth, both costumes are fucking 90% or more done yissssss.

Okay, so Harley Quinn  is basically ready, all I need to do is some little finish up with the details and stuff like that, so getting in there may I say? But my deadline with Harley Quinn is..oh well in four days, since I'm wearing it to the Penkkari's (scroll down few posts to get the explanation..)
Momo made so cool-looking list so yeah this is me copying her, deal with it.

-Dress is done, all it needs is some basic finishing like you know, cutting the threads and you know, basic.
-The collar lacks few stitches, but I'll get there as soon as I find a needle, seriously, ALL our hand-sewing needles have gone missing...
-Shoes are styled and done
-I made the coolest ring!
-I bought 5 pairs of white stockings, just in case (they were 1.50euros/5 pairs so not a great loss?)
-I made cool hammer with you know, cool stuff and so on.
-The hammer is cooolll
-coool hammer I haz
-HAMMER TIEM
-um yeah. The wig needs fixing but Momo is on it.

AND then I have the lovely Jim Moriarty.

I'm pretty much done with him too, only the crown has lots to do but I'm on it...and I've taken my cosplay to whole new level by learning ALL Jim's lines from the show, how cool is that?
But because  lists are cool:
-The cape has still some stuff to do...like boring sewing stuff
-but it's almost there
-The crown lacks some BLING DA BLING BLING and some FUR DA FUR FUR YO DAWG I'M THE KING YALLLL
-and then there are the trousers...I have no idea.
- make up is being under rehearsals
-shirt and shoes I haz.

I think that's it about them, Momo got anything left?

Well...I could throw a few words about our program during the weekend. BECAUSE POKE MADE THESE AWESOME POSTERS AND AWW YISS.

number 1



AAND number 2



Mad paint skills, huh?

However Desucon Frostbite is going to be Legen...wait for it..dary! (Because we are there, duh?)

Yeah. But really. We are really looking forward to it and if you're coming, then hey IT'S ONLY A WEEK AWAY. Time to flip dat shit if your cosplay is not done or worse, even started.

However it's 1.16 AM and I should really go to bed since I will wake up early tomorrow to make my scythe. "Yay." (Nay.) Good night our dear readers ♥

With love,

Momo and Poke

P.S Listened to that song at the start? THAT'S NOT EVEN A WEIRD SONG FOR US. Yesterday we listened to Darin.

Yes. Darin.


If you still remember him, you're cool.
