Cosplay Picnic today
11 years ago
Hello my darlingsI went to a cosplay picnic today at Kariya park (mississauga), it was my first cosplay picnic/little casual cosplay event that wasnt furry related, and I enjoyed it! I keep missing every other event this year but finally i went to one! i went by myself and it was great!
before the event, like right up until the event people have been being negative about it to me, saying things like "it isnt fun unless you are going with friends" cus aparently people dont actualy socialize at this social event?! and my boyfriend was so insistant that NO ONE would even show up! that im going to be let down cus no body is even going to go to a little no name thing like this. how friggen RUDE. who says that?! why bother going?! AUGH.
anyways.
I went, people showed up, apparently it was a WAY bigger turn out than their last picnic event! I brought cupcakes and people liked them, some people brought cookies and pocky and chocolate. I hope to make cookies or cupcakes again next time too, I like to contribute and share, and i love to bake.
There was kereoki, watermellon smashing(and then after that watermellon baseball with the pieces that were still kind of in tact XD WATTERMELLON ALL OVER EVERYONE!) i watched from afar so that i didnt get watermellon all over my costume. there was also a scavenger hunt, but instead of finding things we had to do weird tasks and take pictures or videos of themXD I was put into a group with these 5 asian guys and they were pretty nice and cool so i basically hung out with them for about an hour, we ALMOST won, but we lost the tie breaker game :'C
I also got TONS of aweessoommeee shots with a bunch of diferent photographers, i did like 3 photoshoots today it was awesome all the pictures are just. so. darn. pretty. that park is so perfect for taking pictures in!!! so i HOPE to have some pictures to share with you verryyy sooon over at
iluvsuitss !!
the rest of the time i just walked around aimlessly, handing out cupcakes, talking to people, meeting up with friends a bit, funfun.
There were also 2 weddings and 1 wedding rehearsal happening today! so we were shooed out of the way a few times (they had permits) to make room for the weddings, wich was fine cus its a pretty big park and thankfully everyone (on both sides) was totaly respectfull to each other and nothing bad happened the whoollee time! one of the weddings was a brown wedding, ALL of the ladies were soooo angry (and i can understand why) none of them would smile, they were so mad it was kinda funny. and then all the men were like talking to us and getting pictures with the cosplayers X''D
there was an asian wedding too, they had swords... and the jedi cosplayer went over and sword/light saber battled with them ;u;
Other than that... it rained a bit here and there but not enough to really stop anything from happening or make anyone leave. most of us brought umbrellas anyways.
also my makeupp was so gooood toooddaayyyyy!!! QvQ i did it once i got to the park, and it was just simple makeup, no contacts or eyeshadow(i forgot it) or lashes, and it looked good and actually stayed on all day and i didnt even need to touch it up for the shoots <3 aahhhh why cant it always be like that for cons!?
