There was The Creamery truck serving Pancake flavored ice cream with bacon served on waffle bowl! My friend Gen tried it has love it!There was also The Grilled Cheese truck and of course, right when it parked people were already lining up!I was really glad to see so many people has attended this event and I saw some nice costumes ^^
Here is my costume of the night! I used my Zidane cosplay wig, Konoe ears an tail, and Sakura shirt lol. I handmade my overall, hat, wrist cuffs and leg warmers! Burned my fingertip tho from heat gun... D:
Some of the contestants! Couldn't get everyone's pic... It was so crowded! Prize that I received for winning the Best Cat costume contest!This purse is AMAZING!!! I gotta say, this is the best prize I've ever gotten from a contest!

For being the first 50 person to be at the event, I got a goodie bag for spending at least $10 ^^
Hello Kitty!!!
Hehe, I thought this was so cool... A Gloomy Vader helmet!
Finally, I can upload my pics from Fanime ^^ It was really fun and just like last yr, I had a good time. I noticed that there were less cosplayers this yr tho D: And instead of Lollicup, the drink kiosk this yr was Jumba Juice. Most of my time was spent sitting at the Artist Alley with Geekyglamorous. It was our first launch of Ame Hoshi! We did better than we expected so I'm really happy!!! We actually sold out on couple things OAo; Enough said, here are pics I took at Fanime!
Artist Alley:
This year there were about 135 full tables! When we walked in to sign up it was completely empty but it soon got filled with bunch of awesome art!
Ame Hoshi table! Glitter makes everything beautiful! hehe
Geekyglamorous and myself in kingu~!!! Geekyglamorous in her Stitch outfit with hibiscus decorations! Adorable~~~~~~ !!! There was a table selling Pokemon made from pipe cleaners! They were adorable but a bit out of my price range... I really wanted the Umbreon one ...
Guestbook signed by many lovely people! Thank you to those who have taken their time to sign our guestbook! And to those who have stopped by our table! Swap Meet:
Was waiting in line getting our stuff checked so I decided to take a pic of the area before it got all over crowded. lol And sure enough it got really packed... But it's much smaller this year and also, the spaces we got
We were so tired after the Swap Meet and it's so hot in the kigu D: Took a nice refreshing shower afterwards and drank some really cold Japanese iced tea!
Day 2: Pokemon Trainers
For Day 2 we cosplayed as Pokemon Trainers. Myself as Lyra and Geekyglamorous as Hilda! I hate that my overall makes me look fat =__=
Hilda met Luna from Harry Potter :D
Hilda is gonna have some battles!
Sorry N, but Hilda was stronger!
At 3 I had to go to FF13 Photoshoot so I changed into my Hope cosplay! My bf took these pics but I'm looking forward to the ones Shibuya and WinterWish took! Lightning: Steph Vanille: Callesto's friend (forgot name...) Fang: Callesto Hope: Me Sazh: Mkamzng1 Serah: Artisticpsyco Jihl: Kristen

We later met with WinterWish for 2nd photoshoot.
Yeaaaaa we didn't know what to do... We all just look so confused lol
After I check up on the table at the Artist Alley, a group of FF13 found me! Apparently there weren't ANY Hope at the FF13 Gathering OAo;
And then we expanded lol
