Greetings,
So there was recently a time period where I had fallen behind on my posts on this blog and I would love to let to guys in as to why I was unable to post in a little while.
One of the events that were keeping me busy was an event called the cosplay formal this particular event is in its second year. And to put it simply I had a blast.
The cosplay formal is an event where cosplayers take there favourite characters and dress up for a one night only formal event, There is a cosplay best dressed compitions with prizes sponsored by madman for the winners and also this year they have interest from a cosplay magazine where the winners of the competition get featured in the magazine which is pretty amazing if you ask me. Also like a formal there was a large amount of drinking and dancing.
WHAT CRAZY THINGS HAPPENED AT THIS SHINDING OF COSPLAYERS?
Before I begin I will not be mentioning any real names of some of the individuals that attended for obvious reasons. But needless to say that I will be using their character names instead J
In the beginning, where our origins of the night began I meet up and Avatar Korra’s house of residence. It was a lovely late afternoon day the clouds were all casually floating around and the sun was shining.  When I Card Captor Sakura arrived we said our greetings/ Salutations to each other and then proceeded in getting ourselves for the interesting evening while we waited for Darkrai to join our party, Not long after Darkrai appeared so we got ready and began our quest to get food and then get to the event.
As we were making our way to the place where we obtain sustenance we had a few stares from the general populace but nothing to exciting. When we arrive the stares continued but still nothing out of the ordinary. But that was the least of our worries … getting to the event was an adventure in itself.
The mini adventure of getting to the event began when we were on route more along the lines of not knowing what stop to get off at… and then our greatest obstacle … finding the front door of the place. To our defence there were misleading signs everywhere which made obtaining our goal much more difficult like in a boss battle kind of way. But we did it!! We made it to the front door alive and very few casualties… meaning my nails were the casualties but we achieved our goal and entered the even shamelessly late.
As soon as we walked through the doors there were amazingly dressed cosplayers everywhere everything was decorated amazingly, people were having fun, drinking, dancing, flirting pretty much having a jolly good time. One thing that I love about these events is that everyone is in a good mood there was no nastiness and everyone was really chilled out and relaxed. The Australian cosplay community is where I really do feel like I am at home, Where I truly belong, Where I can be myself and I don’t have to hide my weirdness, Where I can be plain and simple me.
Of course at this point of time we stumble upon a wild Inuyasha which after a small fangirl and a mild introduction joins our group and then our social exploration deeper into the social habits of our fellow cosplayers. Which after many fangirls and photos from both professional and normal photographers, having a few drinks at the bar and more photos of water bending and OOTP transformations the bulk of the night finished and it was time for us to migrate to the after party. Where there was pretty much the same thing… drinking, photos, DANGERZONING at the expense of archer while screaming for Lana to appear, placing plastic candles down certain areas of clothing to make sure the opposite sex realises and to highlight that in fact those areas exist.
Not long after the techno subsided and they finally put on some 70, 80, and 90’s songs which we could all sing and dance to and a little while after that we we buggered and then decided that the trip home would be quite a good idea and so we left. The car ride home was a nice and short one for me at least, then I stayed up and played pokemon for the rest of the evening /morning because why the hell not !!!.
All in all it was a fantastic evening, If I had to compare it to last year I would have to say that it would be much better organised and much more thought out with alot more things to do and look forward to and personally I cannot wait to go next year.
THE AFTER PARTY HIGHLIGHTS !!
So pretty much the highlights of the evening, these are not in any particular order.
- Irish Deadpool Dry humping a pirate,
- Deadpool declaring his love to said pirate,
- Maleficent and Miss Targarian having a moment in the corner,
- having a moment with Archer,
- having a massive group Selfie with Mr Tony Stark,
- Deadpool bragging about being a “big boy”.
There are a few more but at the moment I cannot think of them.
Thanks for reading until next time XOXO
