First post in 2014: The last weeks and plans for this year.

It's already been a long time since my last post here again, oh my. But this time it hasn't got to do with me being a lazy ass but with me being busy as never before, I guess.
From the beginning of February onwards I had to write five exams in university and had to learn a lot...
Surprisingly until now each one went quite smooth and I'm in high spirits for the last one tomorrow!

After this week's over I'll finally have some free time which I will spend preparing everything for Leipzig bookfair in mid March together with Aiji. ♥
This means: building our 3D maneauver gears for our Shingeki no Kyojin cosplays and revising parts of my Sitri cosplay, e.g. the head dress and tigh highs.
I'm all excited already because we will meet many awesome people and I hope the new concept for the Anime & Manga area at LBM will be as great and fun as promised!
So if you decide to come I wouldn't mind meeting up, just saying! I will be there from friday until sunday.

My life has been relativly calm from Christmas onwards, I celebrated with my family, girlfriend and Shinpei.
New year's was the last to spend with my dears until 2015 so it was a bit sad but nevertheless we had much fun. ♥

The sadness continued with Rumi moving back to the other side of the country again at the end of January so we hosted at farewell-party, only the four of us, that being Rumi, Shinpei, Aiji and me...
Since then our everyday life is a bit boring sometimes because at the moment it's mostly only Aiji and me spending time together, but whatever, better days will come and we'll see Rumi again for the bookfair in March!

Somewhen in January Aiji and me did a SNK shooting together with Rito (after a veeery long time finally again) in Kettwig which is a perfect location!
So I took my chance and tried out Levi.. It was fun although I'm better suited for Petra in the end, haha.

I also dyed my hair back to normal boring blonde because the red became too dark and natural for my taste... But I still need a new and exciting idea for a light haircolour and style, so if you've got an idea let me know! I'll appreciate it. :'D

Because we haven't gone to the int. Gyaru Lovers Meet this time we decided to meet up with a few new friends in Düsseldorf and went for lunch which was also very nice.

Finally also our second taobao-order arrived, so I got stuff for my new doll and my Akihito-wig which is misused for some dansou-ing atm, haha.

Sadly we can't go to An Café this time because we need to spend all our money on cosplay stuff but that's just having priorities, haha..
Buuut Shinpei bought girugämesh tickets for both of us so I can't wait to see them again with her in June!!
Yatta.

Recently I have such a strong urge to dress up and go out, being it dansou or gyaru.. I hope I can finally give in after my exams now, haha!
Stay tuned!

[Convention] Leipziger Buchmesse 2013 - Sunday

Hey again everyone.

Posting took me longer than expected; I had to finish my term paper first.
But now I'm free for the rest of the week until university lectures start again.
So today I'm going to post about the second day of the bookfair in Leipzig...! :3

That day wasn't as hectic as the first day but still very crowded and busy.
We met again a lot of people and took a lot of photos!
Fortunately we arrived a little earlier that day and had even more time for looking through the halls and taking photos and stuff.
I wore my Rin Okumura from Ao no Exorcist cosplay again for like the fourth time? But I really really love it and feel so damn comfortable with that character! Hehe.

So not much talking, here are some pics! ♥
(First me as Rin and Shinpei as Shiemi - best Shiemi in the world. ♥♥)

Favourite pic. ♥

Well... xD

Other people (with and without me):

"Dang, you're a handsome man, bro" XD

My beautiful baby together with Waltraud, whom we got that day. x3 

Goof, Senja and Rumi! ♥

FahrSindram aka Loki at her artists box.

The best Loki ever - I bet you already know her. xD

(That person's so hyper she wouldn't hold still for a sec while being asked for a pic.)

And here are some impressions from the fair:

See you next time!

Awesome Ari-style group pic.
Bye Bye, Leipzig!

[Convention] Leipziger Buchmesse 2013 - Saturday

Hey everyone~ ♥

It's been a while again - I'm quite busy with my term paper but that'll be finished soon!
I never thought study works could be that fun, hehe.

So today I'm going to post about the "Leipzig bookfair" 2013.
I tried to attend this convention for.. six years now? And never acutally did it because of different reasons.
But this time it finally came to happen, I was so happy!

On thursday the 14th I cought Shinpei in Dortmund at the train station and together we went to Duisburg.
She stayed overnight and the next day we went to the Erzgebirge in Sachsen near Leipzig by Rumi's car.
Rumi, Shinpei, Aiji, our dog and me seven hours in a car!
Fortunately the weather was cold but wonderful and some nice promotion ladys gave us free Red Bull at one stop! Yeah! :3
(Beki watched over our small pets whilst Muffin was at Aiji's mum.)

So we reached Rumi's home town safely.
I really love the Erzgebirge! It's such a beautiful landscape with tiny wooden houses and stuff. ♥

On that day we only went shopping for food and then finished some tiny things at our cosplays for the next day, went showering and to bed finally.

Btw, this day had been Aiji's and mine 3rd Anniversary!!! *__* ♥♥♥

On saturday we got up very early and started with a nice breakfast and getting dressed afterwards...

It took us.. 3 hours? to get ready finally.
At around twelve we arrived at the convention center in Leipzig finally!

And wow - it was soooo full in there...! Really hot and not really enjoyable. 

So we decided to stay in the glass hal and search for our friends, take pics, etc.. 

That's why I'm just gonna show the pictures now!

(All of these pictures below are made and edited by Aiji.)

Some impressions of that crowded day. 

....As I already wrote here before hand, I cosplayed something no one has ever cosplayed before!
Hehahaha. 

It's an original character from an indipendent japanese Manga-ka called Makuro from the doujin circle ashwing. 

I loved him ever since I first saw him. ♥
His name's Kuu and he is a young very unfortunate demon boy, but very loveable. 

Here's the original (YES now judge me!! XDDD) :

Of course I couldn't be that.. naked. Ehem.

So I moded the outfit a bit to fit my body and I think it worked out quite well.

The painting was horrible.. we had to paint my whole skin brown and I hadn't enough colouring. x_x 

So excuse some stains.
(All of these pictures taken either by Aiji or Rumi and are edited by me.)

With Aiji as Kira, also from Makuro's works. ♥

What do you think?! ^___^
I'm so happy because I could finally manage to do it! Not also because I lost nearly 7kg since the beginning of January and I'm starting to feel more confident with my body again. ♥

It was funny to see who takes pictures of you.. and even two girls recognized my character!
I was really surprised. xD;

Also Rumi and Shinpei were really cute on that day in their Vocaloid cosplays. ♥

We also met Senya and Goof again! x3
They looked so damn gorgeous in their outfits! 

Senya and me - stolen from her. xD ♥

(Btw was it really funny to walk around with my Ma*rs bag all day... 

Everyone who looked like he had some knowledge about gyaru was really.. well, surprised and startled. xDD; )

Nevertheless was I really happy to take a shower in the evening and scrub everything clean again!

Gonna wear it next at the Dokomi though.
