Here Comes The Long Brief Report For Takashimaya's Cosplay Extravanganza . . .
I came at about 12.25pm to meet Yazid at Orchard MRT Station by Taxi (darn the bus!). He was alone there, waiting for me. After finding out that Hassan will join us later, Yazid and me went to Taka together.
Arriving there, we saw a few cosplayers, most of them still in their home clothes, some already in their costumes (mostly those in the Super Yoyo team). Went to the side of the "stage" to wait for the rest; and I showed to Yazid the photos from MAC Cosplay 2002 and Cosfesta 2003. Met other cosplayers that I know such as Kurama in her Beautiful Arwen Gown that is inspired from one of the illustrations and her sister Keiko. Also met this guy whom I keep forgetting his name (should ask for his e-mail address!). Hassan came later, followed by Yazid's friend. Heehhehee, should had seen what Yazid's friend was wearing as Tabbards, his pants! LOL! He should had told me he need Obi & Tabbards, I got 2 sets at hand now, ever since that Costume Job at Peranakan Place! During that time, I changed into my Darth Maul Sith Training Suit and let Yazid wear my Black Combat Boots, while I wear my White Boots. The Obi is getting tighter this time. @__@
Later, we moved to the other side of the stage. Faiz came a couple of minutes later and was hesitated in putting on his full Kendo suit until we pester him like hell. -__^ Well, he got his named labeled at the funniest place and I tried to get a picture of his butt! Later, I went to claimed my bag of goodies from somewhere near the stage (it contain DVD of Vandred, CD of some Japanese music, 3 A4 plastic cards of Anime, M.A.G.E. 1st issue and Balloons etc). After all the boys had changed, I also brought them to claim their goodies bag. Here, since the person at the counter was a different person, I gotten another bag; but out of pity for Yazid, I gave it to him instead. Clare also came and she took some time to wear her costume. Later, I lead her to the place to claim her goodie bag too. -__^
Then, we did some poses; mostly pure SW or SW-LOTR Crossover or SW-LOTR-HP Crossover. A lot of photographers also took our pictures and as usual, since it's a public place, I bet I'm only gonna see 5% of the photos taken of my gang & me.
Anyhow, my tight Obi & White boots made it a little difficult to do my usual legs stretched poses (man! I love those poses like hell!). And the belt keep droping off in the back as usual (Note to self: Get the Darth Maul Belt done!!!). @__@ In other news, my Darth Vader lightsabre need to be retired from Lightsabre sparing; the bented part keep coming out and making the whole blade look like a refugee from Spaceballs everytime I spare with Clare's Obi-Wan Lightsabre (meaning: the bentable blade!). We also did some poses using my Wooden Wands (now whose wands did I bring?) for fun, with Hassan being paired with Shuhui for a little Snape-Lavender Brown duel poses.
Also spoted Khelder, Shuhui, Bright & Rinka, Serene, Joash, Sena, I-Can't-Remember-Who-Else etc etc. Aisyah, her little sis and her friend (??) came to our place later and we stayed together for the rest of the event, talking cock or about costuming.
The kid came later towards the end of the event with his friend. *roll eyes* His friend brough his MR Obi Wan Lightsabre but since he's too protective over it (must wear gloves!), I'm not interested (heck, I was Already wearing Gloves!). Will make use of my sword this Dec. * \/^__^ *
After the event ended, we proceed to the front corner of Ngee Ann City to eat. I continue my conversation with Aisyah about costuming. At about 6pm, the guys left for HMV while I continue talking/exchanging costuming notes with Aisyah. We left the place around 6.45pm and boarded the train home.
In Conclusion, my "team" members are the . . . . at this event:
ME- Darth Maul Sith Training/Darth Eagle/Darth Prion
HASSAN- Witchking/Ringwraith, Dementor, Palpatine, Darth Sidious, Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come, Death, Snape etc etc
YAZID- Himself
YAZID'S FRIEND- Ringwraith No. 5, Sith Lord
FAIZ- The Kendo Guy
CLARE- Obi-Wan Kenobi
Feedback for the Event:
-I need to loose some inches around the waist.
-Get another Black Boots in case my normal one get borrowed again.
-I need to get my Arwen Gown done ASAP.
-Do people actually know who is Darth Maul Sith Training or where to look for it (i.e. the action figure?)
-If cannot fulfil an order in time; then DON'T take up the order in the first place! (This is to someone *roll eyes*).
-Some people are just too protective over their props, even thought it's lesser in value. I bet there're lots of fingerprints on Faiz's Katanas, and Shawn's & Danny ICON Lightsabre after a day of costuming on the street (Hey! Danny did let us touch his Swords' Blade and took the trouble to wipe it later.)
-Stormtrooper Boots DON'T have High Heels!
-I wonder how I'm gonna swing the Witchking Sword in Orchard Road, especially that it's 8/10 my height.
-I MUST buy the sword from Danny since he's being too kind to offer it at a much lower price! ^__^
-It's great to talk costuming with people who knows the trade like Aisyah. -__^ In return, I should help her do her Uruk-Khai Armor & Costume
-I must sleep at the correct timing . . .
Okay, better log off now . . . .
