Japan Weekend Barcelona 2016

So yeah, last weekend there was the Japan Weekend con in Barcelona. Saturday tickets were sold out quickly and we hadn't been able to get ours, but thanks to Alek (Fuko's friend) we were able to buy them.

SATURDAY

We woke up at 8. 

We put our cosplays on.
I lost one of my elvish ears.

After one hour looking for the lost ear, we went to the con. When we arrived, we went for a walk and Fuko bought a Love Live! energy drink -which happened to be surprisingly useful later- and we met some friends (Patis, Miki, Aya...). 

I don't know why, I hated how I looked that day. The make-up didn't end up looking how I expected, the wig was messed up and all the photos turned out horrible. I've already seen some photos people took me and omg, I look ugly as fuck and so done with the world. Also, I brought a Silmaril to the con so I could have some photos holding it (it was a Fluorite ball, expensive). So a random photographer came to take us some photos; after that, he asked me to borrow it and, when I gave it to him, he moved his hand out and 

the Silmaril fell and got broken into tiny pieces.

Fortunately, the photographer was so nice that he decided to give me the money I paid for the Silmaril back, so it's fine. But seeing my dear gem dying so tragically made me sad.

After having dinner with some friends, we went to see the cosplay contest with Aya, Patis, Sora and Kai. When a Miku Hatsune got on the stage to dance a Vocaloid song we all expected something typical like "World is mine". It wasn't that one.

Next to that one, a Len Kagamine dressed with the Senbonzakura outfit got on the stage carrying a leak. He started dancing Levan Polkka. Then, the music stopped and another song started playing.

Following this performance, it was PriPara's turn. A Sophie Houjo got on the stage. Since Fuko is a huge PriPara fan, she got very excited. We all thought a song from PriPara would start playing. We were wrong.

Literally all of us

SUNDAY

We had great expectations for this day because we were going to meet more friends who didn't get tickets for Saturday. Also, Eva was coming with us and she was going to vlog the whole day. When she was finished doing her make-up, she got her camera and started vlogging...until 1 minute later, when the camera ran out of battery.

Eva: Yeah, the camera is new and I didn't charge its battery before.

It wasn't a big deal since Fuko has a portable charger and we could charge the camera's battery during our journey towards the con.

We arrived at the con and while Eva and Fuko were getting ready at the bathroom, I was waiting for my Cornelia (Patis). 

Since our friend Aya was going to participate at the karaoke contest, we sat in front of the stage for a while. As we expected, she won the contest! (She really sings beautifully)

After that, we watched Kiseki Idols' (a Love Live! cosplay group) performance. Fuko and Alek were cosplaying Choromatsu and Osomatsu from Osomatsu-san, so they just stayed in front to the stage yelling and dancing.

After that, I went to Burger King to have lunch with Fuko, Aya, Jud, Eva, Cris and Patis at 5 pm. We left early because Fuko had to study and we had nothing to do at the con anymore.

Here are some photos I edited from the con  ↓

【Luo Tianyi - Scarlet Ball 血色舞会】My cosplay pics

Hi there! As I also cosplayed Luo Tianyi from Scarlet Ball (Vocaloid China) I'd like to show you some photos and WIP.

 First of all, this is how the Soleil atelier looked when we started making our cosplays:

The yellow fabric is mine; the red one is from Fuko's cosplay (Yuezheng Ling)

We spent some weeks sewing our cosplays. To be honest, I wasn't motivated at all because I barely liked my costume's design. I really hesitated I could finish my cosplay because I had lots of exams and I wasn't in the mood to sew a dress I didn't like at all. 

These photos are from the day I made the pleated skirt. In the left you can see my flatmate Eva who was also sewing her cosplay and seemed very amused about how my skirt ended up.

These are from the day I made the top. I really enjoyed making it but I didn't like how the black thing looked on me (but that's because my waistline is like my Michael Kors bag, it doesn't exist.

   

This is from the day I cut the large skirt. It really took a long time to paint it, but I had a lot of fun. While I was sitting on the floor trying to not fuck it up, Fuko was looking at me from the sofa; such an emotive scene.

I finished my cosplay the day before the con, but I could sleep my necessary amount of hours. Cristina from Represart took us some photos (thank you, Ruby!):

I also took some selfies with Fuko and Patis (*¯︶¯*)

(((￣(￣(￣▽￣)￣)￣)))

I'm gonna end this post by recommending y'all the song we cosplayed, Scarlet Ball ☆ ～('▽^人)

góða nótt .:☆*:･

【Kikuri姫】My cosplay pics

Hi there! As I said before, I cosplayed Kikuri (Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori) at the Barcelona Manga Con. Here you have some WIP pictures : 

These are the photos I could be taken before the sunlight went out, I hope to get more when I wear this cosplay again! (*¯︶¯*)

 Hope you like it! 

【Fëanáro Curufinwë】My cosplay pics

Here you have some pics of my Fëanor cosplay (The Silmarillion - J.R.R. Tolkien). Hope you like them! <(￣︶￣)>

It's been a while, huh?

I just don't know what to say, I completely abandoned this blog and I thought it would never come back to life...until now.
I'm back and many things happened until now, let me resume them for y'all:

• Soleil joined the Cosplay Contest in the Japan Weekend Con in Barcelona as Luo Tianyi and Yuezheng Ling from Vocaloid China (March Rain)

• Soleil attended the 60th Anniversary Eurovision Song Contest in London, and it was pretty awesome. I saw Dima Bilan and other great artists

• I cosplayed Fëanor (The Silmarillion - Tolkien) and children feared me and some people called me Arwen

• Soleil enjoyed this year's Eurovision Song Contest and voted for Loïc Nottet (Belgium) and Måns Zelmerlöw (Sweden)

• I spent the whole summer working (and living) in a camping as a pizza maker (people used to call me "pizza girl") and I met great people from other countries such as Slovakia, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Latvia. 

• I fell in love with Nordic languages.

• I joined the langblr community in tumblr (my url is luo-tenenbaum)

• I started my 3rd year of university.

• I started learning Icelandic.

• I cosplayed Kikuri (Jigoku Shoujo) and Luo Tianyi (Scarlet Ball) with Fuko as Yuezheng Ling at the Manga Con in Barcelona.

• Soleil went to Måns Zelmerlöw's concert in Barcelona. It was so cool!

Went to see Måns Zelmerlöw last Wednesday. Thank you so much @manszelmerlow , it has been one of the best nights ever! #heroestoureurope #månszelmerlöw #manszelmerlowbarcelona

If you want me to make a post specially for any of the points above, comment this post and tell me which one you'd like to read about!

How to become an elf

Since the most part of people from The Silmarillion fandom I've known speaks English, I'm gonna write this entry only in English. Excuse me for that because my English can be such a mess.

So yes, I'm making my first elf cosplay, of one of my favourite elves and my favourite Silmarillion character:

The bling bling motherfucker noldor king

Okay, I'll start by saying that I've completely invented the costume design (as it's obvious) and I've been making some changes in the main design so I can't show you any sketch or something like that. I'll just keep you updated with my wip photos and so on. 

Let's start with the online shopping list:

• Lace front black wig
• Grey lenses (those that I'm almost always wearing but since it's been a year I've been wearing them, I must order new ones)
• Elven ears
• Platforms (Because we don't want Fëanor to be a hobbit)

It can seem a cheap list but the wig and the platforms are f*cking expensive so it won't be a cheap cosplay.

For the tunic I bought 4 meters of red velvet. This fabric is gorgeous, I love it.

I've also made the crown but I still have to add some gems on it, so it's not finished yet.

I've also received my elven ears, they're awesome <3

I've been sewing lately, but I won't post any photo until the next post, where I'll also do a Fëanor costest (wig, make-up, lenses & ears) so keep tuned! :)

Buenas ~ Ya hacía tiempo que no actualizaba el blog. Estos días he estado cosiendo mis próximos cosplays y...sorpresa, ¡he terminado un cosplay! :D También he recibido 2 pelucas y 2 pares de lentillas que también enseñaré en este post. De todos modos, aún tengo que encargar una peluca así que aún hay dinero por gastar ಥ_ಥ

Hi, hi ~ It has been a long time with no blog updates. These days I've been sewing my upcoming cosplays and...surprise, I have finished a cosplay! :D I have also received 2 wigs and 2 pairs of lenses that I'll also show in this post. By the way, I still have a wig to order so I still have some money to spend ಥ_ಥ

¡Vamos allá! ~ Let's go! 

Pelucas y lentillas / Wigs and lenses

Makoto Yokomizo wig & lenses preview (AKB0048)

Takamina wig & lenses preview (AKB0048)

L: Takamina lenses - R: Makoto lenses

¿Qué puedo decir? Ambas pelucas son muy bonitas y muy buenas (salieron caras) y tienen mucho pelo. Las lentillas son bastante cómodas y muy bonitas también (las verdes me encantan).

What can I say? Both wigs are so pretty and their quality is great (they were expensive tho). The lenses are quite confortable and very beautiful (I love the green ones).

(((￣(￣(￣▽￣)￣)￣)))

De procesos solo hice dos fotos xD Lo justo para irle enseñando a Fuko cómo iba. (Aún no tengo fotos del wip de Makoto)

I only took 2 process photos xD (I don't have Makoto wip photos yet)

(((￣(￣(￣▽￣)￣)￣)))

Esta semana estoy en casa de Fuko y hemos aprovechado para hacer preview juntas de las adorables understudies. También hemos sacado algunas fotos del cosplay de Takamina para enseñar el resultado final. ¡Este cosplay lo llevaré la semana que viene en el Akihabara@Deep!

This week I'm staying at Fuko's home and we've done a preview of the adorable understudies. We've also took some Takamina cosplay photos to show its final result. I'll wear this cosplay next week at the Akihabara@Deep!

Suzuko & Makoto

Takamina cosplay 100%

Hace ya un tiempo pensamos en hacer un tumblr como de "rol" de Makoto y Suzuko y ayer nos pusimos a ello. Aquí están los links:

Some weeks ago, we though about making a kinda Makoto and Suzuko "rol" tumblr and yesterday we did it. There're both links:

MAKOTO - SUZUKO
