Hairy freak

Picture pretty much describes how I feel right now. Almost how I'm actually standing right now. I'm gonna go into town in a few to attend the MIDNIGHT SHOWING of the Harry Potter part 1!! I am seriously. freaking. out. Or actually quite the contrary. I'm sitting in my chair, shaking. Oh god, I hope it's good.

I just finished reading the book to the point where it will end (though I only know the approximate place and therefore just read to the beginning of the Hogwartz fight. Somebody told me she thought I was crazy for reading it so soon before watching the movie, because I would have all the correct informations in my head while watching. But that's how I like it.

Brb. Apparating myself to the cinema.

Long j-popcon

The weekend is over! And it wasn't just any weekend... It was the weekend of J-popcon! J-popcon is the biggest anime/manga convention in Denmark and is held here in Copenhagen. This year was my 7th time going - christ I was small the first time I went. This year they had changed venue - bigger and better, in my opinion.

This was Friday's outfit. Outfit pic by Sascha. The face shot was actually taken while trying to take the picture below. And we all laughed when it actually turned out pretty great!

The new venue was better, but it also made the whole con a lot more confusing. It became harder to locate the event rooms and you never really knew where the toilets were. But overall it was better than the last venue - they should just have printed a map of the grounds in the conhon.

My dear friend Sascha arranged a lolita fashion show and 32 models got around to take their turn a the stage. The crowd was massive and it was a huge succes. I never really wear lolita and Sascha just brought me some of her clothes to wear.

It was great fun to participate! I never feel uncomfortable in loli when I do the fashion show (I've done it two times before) because it's almost like cosplaying for me. I really am no loli, haha.

Astrid slept at my place. She has done so for the past conventions and it's always really nice to wake up with someone and get ready together. It's also feels better to be with someone when you're in the train with your cosplay on! I wub you, Astrid!

Saturday I went as Haku. It was kind of wierd not being glomped from all sides - this is what I had been expecting since Spirited Away is such a known movie. But not many seemed to regognize me. Still it was awesome to wear and really comfy! I could wear it 24-7 if I had to, haha!

Mie was SUCH an amazing Madame Red. She sow this cosplay for this con, while Astrid made her Grell for j-popcon last year. They looked so good together. And then I came and ruined their redness, being blue and stuff.

Picture is by Ali, the greatest photographer! He really manage to bring out the person, not the character, when he shoots. Crazy.

Doing the protecting-Chihiro pose with Astrid as Grell as Chihiro. Haha, lame. Photo by Sascha love.

The stage and theatre was so big! The last years the room have been so crowded and hot and it was really nice to have air to breath. Also - they added a screen on the side. This was used for showing small introductions with the cosplayers before their acts kind of like in Melodi Grand Prix. It was really neat!

My friends Abena and Sørine won the trip to Japan to participate in the World Cosplay Summit! After watching the cosplay show I knew they HAD to win, but I still cried so much when it was announced. I got Abena to cry as well, haha. Evil friend, I know. I'm so damn proud of them. I also love that I now have a piece of their cosplay (my fake bangs from Friday's outfit).

I finally got around to take some instant pictures with the Fujifilm camera I bought in Japan (that I have not told you guys about). Here is Abena with one of the girls and I.

Sunday it was time for some action. Mie and I came as Kim Possible and Shego and people went crazy. Really. I've never tried having so many people coming up to me for pictures and they were all so taken by our cosplays. It was quite an experience.

Sascha took a lot of amazing photos of us. Really. I can't put into words how much I appreciate her willingness to do photoshoots.

Kristine loves KP as much as the two of us. And she wanted a "Disney picture" with us. So cute, haha. My panties are showing D: the pants were a bit too large - but Kim's pants are like that...

After the ending ceremoni I went to wagamama to eat with some girlies. It was a very nice way to end the con and get some proper food in the stomach. That's really always the last of your worries at a con. You just wanna have fun.

Abena's dad was a sweetheart and gave be a ride home afterwards. Bonus!

This years' J-pop was the best I have had in 3 years. It still wasn't awesome but I'll still have a lot of fabulous memories from this con. Thanks to all for making it wonderful!

Long post is long.... sorry guys.

Fishy brown

I dyed my hair!! I've wanted this style for quite some time now. That fading of the color. I actually thought I wouldn't have the balls to do it, but I just got sick and tired of the fact that my extensions didn't blend in with my hair color at all. Now they do !

Line helped me dye it. Actually she was the one to dye it. She was almost more nervous about the outcome than I was, because she didn't want me to be angry with her, haha. But it turned out great and I'm so damn happy with it!
We ate sushi. Omnomnom, it tasted sooo good.

J-popcon today! I'm totally ready - my cosplays are done and I didn't really have to go through a lot of stress to complete them!

Sowing, sleeping and sick-ing

These past days I've been feeling really wierd. My temperature's gone up an down and I've been nauseated. It stopped me from going to a class party Friday and I actually really wanted to go (buhuu). Though yesterday I went to Benedicte's birthday party and even though I had to go home early to sleep I had the greatest time.

Today has been BCD - Big Cosplay Day. I started at 9 am I finished Haku at 9. I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome. Tomorrow I'll start on Kim Possible. I finally received my wig yesterday - it's been 5 weeks since I paid for it and I was starting to think itwouldn't get here before the con.

Mmmhmhmm, æbleskiver (a sort of doughnut that Danes used to put apples in). It's a christmas dessert but I eat it pretty much all year !

Aaaand finally the end result of my wig dying + a derp face just for you guys.

Excitingly chocking

I just put the sixth book of Harry Potter back on the shelf after finishing it. And I am compleately heartbroken. I remember the last time I read the Half blood Prince. I didn't even find the death of Dumbledor chocking. But this time it was entirely different. I think it's because I've gotten to known Dumbledor better by reading all the books in one go. And now I'm feeling kind of empty and sad because he's gone.

It's funny how books can affect us. I think that's what I love about reading: Being compleately sucked in and feeling like I'm a part of the story.

I watched the fith and sixth movies with Emil the other day. I had thought about something while reading a part of the Order of the Phenix, the part where Hermione explains to Harry why Cho is sad about having a crush on him. The whole feeling-guilty-because-Cedric-is-dead thing. And I was like "Yes, totally understandable". And when the scene appeared in the movie I asked Emil if he understood Cho's feelings and his answer was "No, not at all". That kind of cracked me up. It's funny how different boys and girls think.

Argggg, I've been watching a lot of trailers and footage from the new movie today. I tried to not do it, I really did. But when people start talking about "how cool that looked in the second trailer" I really can't stop myself. And now I've got goosebumbs and just can't WAIT.

I'm totally behind schedule on the whole Halloween deal. I'm eating pumpkin candy and feeling wicked. And making a costume doesn't really help me getting over Halloween.

Coloring life

I've been doing alot of things today! I danced cha-cha-cha in PE, skipped some classes to get tickets to Harry Potter, got my new used military jacket from the post office aaaaaaand

DYED MY WIG. Haku's wig. I did it yesterday as well, but I failed then. Stupid, american tutorials that uses products that can't be purchased over here... But today it worked out and I am so happy it did. Picture is from the first coat, so it's not all done yet!

We went back to winter time now. So I've got a little more light in the mornings for the time being. But I already miss the sun. Kind of depressing. The only thing that keeps me chipper is the thought of Christmas!

Why is it that I own a whole lot of short-sleeved shirts and it's getting too cold for those! It's enough to make me grumpy.

Btw. Totally freaking out about Harry Potter. The next movie is so close. I can almost touch it!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween!

Happy Halloween guys! I had the greatest Halloween last night. I went to Ariellah's 18th birthday and she insisted that her guests wore costumes. I had gone for devil once again but changed my mind in the morning. And when I went to Louise's place to dress up with Stella, I ended up looking like this:

If you're all toally blank and can't see who I am, I'm a Roy Lichtenstein girl. It took me fricking 90 minutes to do the makeup. It's all lipstick and eyeliner, haha. I went for this look because I gave Ariellah a Lichtenstein-inspired Star Trek painting.

People could actually regognize me. Though only one mentioned Roy Lichtenstein's name, a lot of people were like: "You're... that girl... The one you always see in pop art..." That really came as a surprise for me and made me so happy.

It was really nice having someone to dress up with. And great not having to go to the party alone all wierd-looking.

Left is the darling, the b-day girl, and right is the sweet, dead Stella. Yeah, sorry honny, no blood in that drink.

We started off at Ariellah's sister's appartment and then went to the club NASA afterwards. I had thought that a lot of people would come in ordinary clothing, but actually everyone had dressed up! So great, yet surprising.

Ariellah's in love with sci-fi and NASA is much like a space ship so the location was perfect for her party. It was raining outside so the first thing we all did was visit the cool bathroom at the club.

Can you believe that Sty actually made that mask from scratch?! Crazy man. Me looking compleatly wasted on the right, haha.

I really had a fabulous night. It was a blast and my make-up didn't go all red on me - which was fantastic until I had to spend almost an hour getting it off my face back home.

We talked a lot, laughed a lot and DANCED a lot:

Seriously... So proud of this picture, the colorssssss...

It was really hot and my wig kept slipping off and I didn't wanna go to the bathroom to put it on again all the time, so it got pretty messed up from dancing. And when I saw this photo I just took it right off, haha. When the real hair shows itself, it's time to loose the wig hair.

Stine, Nina and a representative of me.
