London MCM Expo October 2011 
Friday
I actually arrived on the thursday for once as ~
NavigatorxNami done goofed and got the event mixed up with normal cons
but it was rather relaxing - there was no one around so we just rested after the train journey and had an awesome dinner <3

Love Ward Day!
ohmygod ;A;
This could only be done in a group - a group of amazingggly beautiful ladies.
ifeltsooutofplaceseriously XD

Dresses -- are not my strong point - heels - I never wear them - thosethingswerehuge
I remade that dress three times before it was even remotely right oTLRegardless I enjoyed the group and the shoots we had :']

winter sun is THE worst - it's so blinding
Especially when combined with a reflector
I'm derp squinting in almost every photo

Return of conveniently placed Mr Fabulous

That night I headed into London with a large bunch of people hosted by Ben and Lettie for a chinese and Pk
I had originally intended to change - the idea of travelling through London in that outfit still is ... insane XD;
But I was talked into it on the account of awesome PK photos so I donned a jacket and braved the underground
The reaction was actually ok - we got a few expected responses - but some people actually started conversations
with us about the event and sewing etc =]


These machines were like a more extreme example of my journal posts...

Saturday



Started the day off shooting ~
PlummerC1 and ~
MikeJenks in their Resident Evil cosplays



Cameron doubled as a random zombie for us

he really got into the role...

I then moved outside to shoot ~
CharlieDoryRose, ~
Nightrain82 and ~
Kerhys


Dat leaf tossing


She made me promise not to show anyone
I have shown nothing
..right?
Sheisgoingtokillme
I then wandered back to the other side of the event and found ~
ToobaGravywho offered to take some photos of my highly failable Lag


I fully intend to remake that jacket - it was the biggest rush job in my life
so many inaccuracies
pleasedon'tjudgeme
;_;

LIEK A BAUS


I then shot *
WelcomeToMyWorldVXI's Legend of Zelda group
They all behaved wonderfully so I actually have no derps
..derp =[

That evening was ~
kagen-no-tsuki's birthday meal


much fun was had comparing Hester's gifts with Ben's ... face

The people were amazing and we enjoyed ourselves
The service - wasn't so great =/ I expected it to be better considering the prices and fancy layout
They messed up my order completely - then argued with me when I told them I hadn't ordered it :l
They forgot Hester's meal entirely - we were kept waiting for about an hour
One of the pasta dishes was so small it was like a child's portion and they undercooked Charlie's chicken
Naturally we complained - they sent out a cheese cake to Hester as an apology
Hester can't eat cheesecake - Wahey XD;


On the plus side
we had moustaches and monocles


Spent the night in the PTI playing a dare game of some sort
I barely even remember XD;

Sunday



I then finally managed to do a shoot with ~
felixize in her Vriska outfit with *
WelcomeToMyWorldVXI

Found =
Blasteh and Chi - we wandered to the other end again



Ciaran's man purse complemented his french.




Then returned inside, wandered and shopped - just as the event was finishing up I did a quick shoot for Aaron

Photos that I STILL need to get round to editing oTL
We vanished to pizza hut for the evening meal then returned to the PTI for last night fun tiems



I tried to get a group shot of all the boys using Matts zoom lens - I had to back up all the way into the lift itself
to actually fit everyone in. Just as the camera finally had focused the lift doors shut on me and I ended up on the
6th floor XD;

Thus concludes London MCM Expo - I am now finally UP TO DATE with my journals
:'D
Until Midlands!
