Ohayocon 2014

This is me cosplaying as C.C. from Code Geass with a guy who was cosplaying Lelouch, the anti-hero of Code Geass (and my favorite anime character ever). So I was super excited to get this photo.

THIS is Vic Mignogna for those who don't know. He is one of the most inspirational people to me personally. One of the people that I gain more confidence in myself and who I am when I listen to him. And after meeting him, I can see how obviously kind he is. I love this picture<3 It's so fun and commemorates something that's been on my bucket list for a long time.

 THE DEALER'S ROOM. Let the nerdgasm begin.

THOSE KITTY PLUSHIES!! <3 I didn't buy one though. T-T

Miguel and Tulio! Tulio and Miguel! Mighty and powerful gods!

These two were cosplaying Tulio and Miguel from The Road to Eldorado! That was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid! (It's still up there. lol)

Studio Ghibli films were my first real step into anime (as in, I actually was aware that what I was watching was Japanese animation), so I was super excited to see Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service and No Face from Spirited Away. <3

Walked into a cave. Nothing but Zubat.

I don't even know what this is. xD I just thought it was hilarious. lol

This guy's Gameboy costume was actually playable. The guy in front is playing Tetris. How cool is that?!

I got a picture with Totoro! Even though his eyes are kinda creepy.....

These two guys had amazing Iron Man costumes! I can't imagine how long they took to make and how much material they required!

A whole group of Frozen characters! (My favorite Disney movie.) Plus a Jack Frost. lol

Elsa before AND after she "let it go". (lol I'm punny.) Thought the girl dressed as coronation Elsa was really unique. I didn't seen anyone else cosplaying as Elsa in that dress the whole weekend.

My friend, Ashley, and I. :) We had such a blast at Ohayocon!

This is only a fraction of the photos I took. I took 60+ photos!

I just wanted to share a little of the amazing time I had. It was seriously the best weekend I've had in college thus far.

Do you know why snow is white?

This past weekend I went to Ohayocon in Columbus with the KSU Anime Society.  I love love love anime, manga, and Japanese culture. I am a true nerd and proud of it. :3

The outfit you see me in above is the cosplay I made for the convention. I went as C.C. (pronounced like C2 and not Cici)  from my absolute favorite anime, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. It was my first cosplay, and I am SO proud of how it turned out. I bought the white shorts for $5 at Charlotte Russe, I made the arm warmers out of an old pair of plain black leg warmers, the boots were black and I spray painted them white and used gold acrylic for the decorations. And the main part, the top with flowing "tails", was just a plain black long sleeved turtleneck. I completely altered it and made it C.C.'s Black Knights uniform. At the con I had countless people ask me for pictures and 5 people ask for a hug. It let me know that I did well on this costume, which meant a lot because I worked on it over the course of my whole winter break. <3

I'm going to make another blog post with actual pictures from the con, so I don't want to talk too much about it, but I will say that it was one of the best weekends I've ever had! I was surrounded by so much positivity and energy and by all the things I love so much! I even got to meet someone I've been waiting to meet since I was 12: my favorite voice actor, Vic Mignogna! :D (And I got his autograph!)
I desperately want to go again next year, and I really want to go to Colossalcon in Sandusky this June. Maybe it will happen. Who knows?

Stay tuned for pictures from Ohayocon!

Much love, dolls
