Hello~~ ^-^
MelCosPho 11 (09/06/2012) was a great way to kick start my holiday before uni starts again!! I got to wear my Daisuke Niwa cosplay, without the wings this time (they have lost quite a few feathers ; - ;) and some brand-spankin'-new red contacts from i.Fairy which I will be doing a review on sometime this week :3

Yasmin, who was my Dark was also wearing circle lenses for the first time :3 Purple ones!! :D
We got to hang out with Hannah for most of the day as well at being able to catch up with Dat, Moyashi, Rin (Stocking cosplayer), Jess (Grell cosplayer), as well as a few people from the Deakin Anime Club! It was really great to see everyone even if I didn't get much chance to talk to them since everyone was running around taking photos and running from the rain! I even got to meet many new people! I was really pleased to meet everyone!

But yes, you read that right. It rained! It was mostly just that annoying spitting rain but at some stage it poured down for quite a while!! But after that it wasn't so bad! ^-^
Enjoy some picture spam!

This was also the first time I'd ever been to a MelCosPho and actually been spammed by photographers! It was actually a really nice feeling! It made me feel very humbled yet happy that the effort I put into my costume (despite it being reletively simple to make) as well as the effort I put into putting in my contacts for the first time (I was so afraid it took me HALF AN HOUR to put ONE CONTACT in my eye. Yes, ONE contact! I was just scared, but the second one was much easier to put in.) had all paid off in the end.

Another highlight of the day was having the wonderful opportunity and honour of being a part of a photoshoot with Lachlan Downing of Down the Lens Photography. It was lovely of him to spend a portion of his day taking photos of us!
Here's just a little bit more spam before I'm done!

| A profile shot, unfortunately the weather was behaving in the strangest way, so it was a little difficult to get the right light. Despite that, these photos still look awesome! - Taken by Lachlan Downing. |
After MelCosPho 11, Dark and I headed off to get something to eat as we were ravenous by nearly 2pm! We headed off to Ramen-ya to grab a yummy bentou and then we headed home as it was starting to get late ^-^
I had such an awesome day, and I already can't wait for the next MelCosPho!! Oh and Manifest and everything in between!! I am so pumped! 'Year of the Cosplay' Bring it on!! >:3
Hehe ^^;;
みんな、気をつけてね！
Take care, everyone! ^-^
