They're really pretty this year, purple and orange.

How long have they takn to arrive? I need to get some still D=

About a week I think, I can't remember when I ordered them, there are still loads left I think

@King Sirhc: If you could find it, that'd be great^^ I'm probably gonna try to make one, but there's always a chance of failure...(I'm so optomistic >< )

I finally did quite a bit on costumes today! It took like....an hour and a half to make 3 pairs of cat ears...grah. And we put sleeves on my Natsuo's costume, which took about an hour all together..yay, improvement!^^

So what time is most people coming? I'm bringing about 3 friends (only one of them is on gaia) but they'll just have to sit in a corner during the Gaia meet up. ;D
I'll probably turn up about 15 mins before they start accepting people. Then you can start queuing and stuff... Hopefully my friend's will be on time and the tubes won't be ******** up... I think that's a bit optimistic but you never know!!!

[Kirara_Yumi]

hopefully I'll be there by 10:30, but I doubt it...and I'm bringing two friends, both are on gaia but not very often. I don't even know their user names ><

@Kaazuu: Uhmmm I have a spare ticket for the saturday and sunday I believe... It'll be RRP still so £13 (fast track = £12 + £1 holding fee) but yeah... at least that way you'd have it secure and im at the expo early anyway =S

An eyepatch

I thought so but wasnt sure
what kind is it again

[TheMollyMon]

I have to say that I never get fast track. I wait in the que like the broke person I am crying . Nah, I kid. However if you get there early enough it doesn't really matter that you have to wait a bit longer. It's so much cheaper... then you have more to spend in the actual expo. YAY. whee

[King Sirhc]

[Destinys-Spirits]

I seriously need to keep up to date with Gaia xD; But the first thing I have to say when skimming through this thread is:
@Kaazuu: Eeeek! KAWAII GINGERBREADS!
XD

Haha and wow I never knew lemmings actually looked like that xD Seems like lemmings don't like hotlinking ^^;
But for the eyepatch for Natsuo... They're quite easy to make
Basically you get two pieces of elastic that fits snuggly on your head, cut out a square of white fabric, sew on another white square of fabric but slighly padded [I think it's padded anyways... Haven't read Loveless in a while... If it's not padded then ignore me xD], hem the squares and add slits to it and just slide the elastic through the slits and tack them on making sure they won't come off xD It shouldn't really cost more than £2 to make... probably around £1 even!
Oh and btw... if I see you in your Natsuo cosplay watch out for a squealing fangirl haha, I'm a big Natsuo fan haha xD

@Little Dragon: Haha I'm the saaame! I prefer to get in slightly later to save money... Means more money for manga and hi-chews fufufu >3 Plus I don't actually arrive at ExCeL til around 10.30-11.15 anyways... I wouldn't get THAT much extra time with fast track xD;

Bless my little sister
She's making Bath Tokens for her Chihiro cosplay!

[kido66]

I just got my hair cut for shigure cosplay and all i need to do now is pick up my kimono next week.

[sxc_sammi]

Hmmm....I just kinda wanna chat about random stuff with people, but I dunno what.

Im getting behind schedule on my cosplay now. Ive had sooo many setbacks. And Im worrying now that Im gonna die of heatstroke at Expo. Hot weather is brill, just not when your in a boiling costume like mine... xp
Im gonna make my bootses today, and....um....do my hat....and make the cuffs and bows. I need to finish this by next week so I can make a start on Namine.

Is anyone else here a TOTAL procrastinator? Im trying to revise for exams and make my costume and do a whole lotta stuff and NONE of it is getting done! HALP!

Just for something to talk about, who else has had complete disasters with making cosplays this year?

And should I make cookies or muffins this year? Or brownies? I wanna bake something....

*end mindless ranting*
