Busy Post-Genki

We slept in on Monday after not having slept a lot during Genki. Then we got dressed and went to the beach! We stayed there for a few hours, Kimberley tried to teach me to skim stones and the water felt terrific.

But we left and I showed her around CPH for a bit, went on a boat trip and ended up in Tivoli playing a 3D Star Wars game.

Tuesday we went to the National Museum to see their Viking stuff and the Cosplay exhibition.

After taking purikura and meeting up with Allan we went to CPH's oldest bakery and then I took Kim to the airport. We had such a good time together!

Later in the day I rushed off to Sweden to sleep at Aybike's together with Sasha. We ended up taking a long walk in some crazy rainstorm and after drying off and changing clothes we went to grab food at Burger King. And we stayed there for hours. In our PJs. Good times.

Tuesday Aybike was judging the Pride Cosplay Competition and I genderbended Adventure Time with her!

We even got to do a shoot and found this mesmerizing location inside a park's hedge. It looks very fantasy-like.

Beautifulll! And our very colourful Instant...

Then I went to work! Breaks are so nice in the current weather.

We also showed Athena (judge at Genki) around om Friday. She was so sweet and calmed my beginning nerves about my term abroad. And I even found a promising location for a hopefully soon-to-be photoshoot!

I hung out with Amalie for the last times before her trip to Santa Barbara. Once just the two of us where we watched Pitch Perfect and Lizzie McGuire while making a blog for her, once out drinking with the Disneys and lastly eating ice cream from Ismejeriet with my parents today. I haven't known her that long but we've grown close fast. I'm so happy that Skype exists.

Their ice cream is unreal. I really like the white chocolate one I tried for the first time - it had huge chunks of chocolate!

After work yesterday I saw the most beautiful sunset while walking to the theatre to watch AntMan with Rasmus. And when the film was over we even got to see Tivoli's fireworks ! (second photo: Kasper Palsnov)

Blonde Genki

I went to Genki last weekend! I filmed a bunch !

 Since last time I've been working a lot + crafted like crazy. I spent a week crunching out three new costumes - Stella, Odette and Mikako!

My process started at Stine's since I needed a helper for putting myself into a tape trap. I made the pattern this way and I only had to make the slightest of adjustments! 

 

After that came stripes. And lots of them. And believe me when I tell you that I underestimated the time it would take to do them.

Still, I went to Lea's birthday shenanigans. She had cake and lovely people - who was I to say no?

Then came painting the other stuff + starting on Stella's staff. Foam + woodglue !

After sowing like crazy I rewarded myself with a bath, Ben&Jerry's and the newest Teen Wolf.

I poured hot water over the braids and waited for the magic to happen while I sew Stella in a few hours. 

Then I picked Kimberley up from the airport and she did some sowing by hand while I made my wings. It was my first time making non-feather wings and I didn't find it too difficult - but these are also quite light-weight.

  Pretty stuff (also Kim). And I poofed my fringe to achieve that ridiculous cartoon look.

Friday came and it was Genki time. We went to the con, got checked in without any queuing whatsoever and I got changed. I talked to DR about cosplay and we went gaming - it's become a bit of a tradition for me to play Mario Kart on Fridays.

Some girls stopped me and we had talks about fairy nostalgia. I had such a nice time wearing her!

Saturday it was Odette day. I was on the wait list for the cosplay show but didn't get to wear her on stage - maybe another time...

I did get to go on a small shoot with Jacky ! I'm looking so much forward to those photos!

Saturday consisted of watching the cosplay show (which was soooo good and funny this year!) and talking to friends. I also went to the Wig Workshop in the morning (where I learned that I've been doing wigs wrong for 7 years) and the Worbla Workshop in the evening (where I got a few new tricks).

Sunday was the weirdest. I felt super odd wearing Mikako since the costume just looks so bloody crazy - but I like it nonetheless. + Stine looked so amazing as my darling sister!

 Sunday was slow and I only went to the Craftmanship Competition and the Closing Ceremony. Some of the panels and events I'd wanted to attend got cancelled :c
I still had such a good time hanging with all the babes.

 

 So nice! So hot! So sweaty! So summery!
