Can I just say it's SO hard to get some sleep before a con? I slept over at my boyfriend's house Thursday night, and I just could not sleep at all. I got 3-4 hours of sleep and I felt every hour I couldn't sleep. It was horrible. So, I didn't do ALA Day 0, but from what I hear it's extremely uneventful anyways. Anyways...
Friday Our flight was scheduled at 10:45, but got delayed by a bit over an hour. The most annoying part was that Virgin America wouldn't tell us when we COULD board, or the new departure time. I did my extremely heavy hooker makeup at the airport, pink eyebrows and all, and I probably looked off my rocker. We taxied to the con since we already lost an hour of time and couldn't afford to wait for a shuttle. Chloe was already hookered out as trashy Roxy and I had to get ready. You guys have seen my Poison from Yaoi-Con, but this time around I made the make up more dragalicious, layered the wig, and Chloe and I matched accessories.
(So...about my Poison being posted on /cgl/...I ain't even mad. It's actually hilarious that they kept saying I look like a ladyboy hooker, because that was entirely the point. Right from the getgo I've posted in this very blog my Poison was going to be inspired by Omi Gibson's trashy hooker Poison. I'd have been infinitely more offended if they had said Chloe and I looked like upstanding citizens or maidens fair as virgin snow. My boyfriend also watched me layer on the contour powder for my cheekbones to look trannylicious, so me having a manface as Poison means, well, success. I find it funny no one said I had a manface as Kaine since I had softer makeup. /cgl/ needs to lrn2makeup. This wasn't even a serious cosplay from the getgo, I was out in the halls as Poison for like 2 hours. Oh wait, no fun allowed at cons).
It was amazing seeing everyone from SoCal again. I hadn't seen them since AX and I missed their crazy antics much more than a sane person should. I totally got to catch up with a lot of people on Friday! I love how chill and small ALA is because you can just hang out.
My adorable boyfriend borrowed Chloe's Cop Stocking accessories and was genderbent Cop Stocking. Forever Stocking! He's going to do this again too at Yaoi-Con 2012 with Jason as Cop Panty.
So Chloe and I slutted around outside the pooldeck for an hour or two and got mad hoverhands...again... and at one point there were 10 guys yelling at us on top of the Marriott's balcony saying super creeper things about marrying us and that we're the reason why ALA is the best con ever. Could not tell if drunk. And we noticed our boyfriends were missing... they got sick of getting no attention next to us and decided to show us that they could be just as sexy. Their photoshoot shot by our friend Ken will never ever see the light of day. This is where the drinking began. @_________@ It was 4 PM.
I remember little after this except a trip to Carl's JR where we all got Western Bacon Cheeseburgers and the most delicious crisscross fries ever. And Jason as Roxy. And Jan's super hot medic. And party in the lobby. And more pictures that can't see the light of day.
Sad news though...my camera got stolen. :( I'll replace it soon.
Saturday My boyfriend and I debuted Brother Nier and Kabuki Kaine today, we're still missing a lot of accessories and the weapons but oh wells. We'll have everything by Fanime. So, a total of 5 people recognized us that day, and it freaking made my LIFE to meet other Nier fans. Well, a few of them just said "omg Kaine!" and walked away, but later on in the evening this super sweet girl was fangirling over my boyfriend's Nier while he was across the pool deck and then she found me and then all three of us totally bonded over the epicness that is Nier. She was super amazing and totally made our weekend. <3 <3 <3 The best ever.
We did a photoshoot with the amazing Bui this day and did a lot more hall cosplay than Friday. Not as many pictures taken like Poison and Roxy, but I'm betting anything it was because my boyfriend looked fucking terrifying as Nier...like he'd torture you and wear your skin. I don't think photographers were up to creepin on me with him around lol. I'm really happy with how our makeup and wig styling came out, I'm really big on that. It was difficult posing without any weapons though. And, my boyfriend's boots, which were women's riding boots off of eBay, were too narrow for him and he had serious problems with walking with all of the ridiculous leg accessories on top of that. :( He got a really nasty blister on his foot, and at one point (after more Carl's JR...which didn't taste as good as when we were drinking lol) we had to hobble him back to our room and take a long breather since he couldn't walk anymore. Because of this, we missed Chloe's birthday surprise, which sounded amazing.
An enormous group of us had dinner at Champions, the bar and grill connected to the lobby. My boyfriend does the most ANNOYING THING EVER, because he always ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS says he's not hungry whenever I am, so he doesn't order anything, and then when I do he decides that he is hungry AND ENDS UP EATING HALF MY FOOD FFFFFF. This always happens, he's never hungry until he actually sees everyone else eating and then eats all of my food. >:|
I had to leave dinner early after I ate my.... 1/3rd of a delicious quesadilla (damn it Castor) to go get pretty for the joint birthday party. I had to completely wipe my face clean and start over on my makeup because my Kabuki Kaine makeup is too cosplay-ish, and with hair on top of that it took forever. And my mask was completely ghetto, it was a piece of 2$ lace at Joann's tied around my face hahahaha. By the time we got to our party, it was already bumpin and everyone looked fabulous and some had the best masks ever. And of course, we had the most classy bathroom bar ever.
We stuck around for a bit until Jason arrived and we went to go shoehorn him into my Kaine. O.M.G. How did he even fit? Best was when my boyfriend was lacing up his ass. The rest of the night consisted of trolling a ton of parties with Jason and his lapdances in tow, and then going to the official con Taco Party (which sucked balls because of security and uh lack of tacos), switching over to Matt's much better taco party, and then lobby partying once more. I'm also officially the most sloppy drunk ever because I had to have my manbitch Kevin hold my shoes the entire night.
Sunday We had the hotel room for Sunday night too, but it wasn't as fun as the previous days because everyone was clearing out and going home since a lot of them had class on Monday. Castor and I did a goth lolita coordinate, which I will show you when I get better pictures. We did a couple shoot with the ever so awesome Cabusi, and I'm really excited to see the result. Sunday was basically saying bye to everyone... it really sucks WonderCon got eaten by SoCal, because we won't see a lot of these people because of that until Fanime. :( Oh well. Amazing party times ahead. We had an after con parting lunch at Denny's (in which I was paranoid the entire time of getting hash browns on my dress...) and that was the last I saw of most of the Socal-ers! My boyfriend and I got changed and Chloe and Luke picked us up to go to Little Tokyo for amazing bacon donuts and dinner at this bar where we had the most amazing meal that weekend... Korean barbeque short ribs *Homer gurgle* It's been such a trial getting the 4 of us finally together since one person is always missing, but it finally happened and we finally all had noms together!! Success. Back to the hotel where it was a complete ghost town. We then went to a chill room party at Matt's (again) where they were making milkshakes with the most expensive bananas ever. 26$ room service bananas wtf. Then ridiculous tinychat, recruiting moar buff guys for Poison and Roxy army at Fanime, crashing early for early flight, and now I'm here and going to go back to sanding Black Rock Shooter armor. T___T Will make another entry about ALA with mostly pictures!
