I had to miss the October London Expo so I'm looking forward to just about everything at Midlands that makes up an Expo. Plus I think I'll be introducing some friends to the magic of Expo. __________________

If that also fails then I'll just re-wear my Maka Albarn cosplay. The dance meet is always fun __________________ Last edited by XxOtakuChiceexX (02 Jan 2013 - 21:13)

(Only - new job means I have less time than normal. :S )

Speaking of the masquerade, this'll probably sound like a daft question, since they already give examples, but has anyone got any tips on what to put with details about the costume? My costume's only about halfway through max, so I don't know what the difficult parts are or anything yet. I don't wanna leave it 'til the last minute to register tho'. Thought it was worth an ask, getting really excited for next month!

Thanks AngelBless Hopefully the skit will be a lot of fun to watch. ^^ Re info on masquerade entry form - tbh I think its in there more for the announcer to maybe say something during the introduction and during your walk on eg "Next up is Angel Bless..Her costume took 4 years to complete and every piece has been hand made including all the jewels, which have been made using clear cast resin kits and hand sculpted special molds." or "This is her first armour costume" etc ...basically any interesting facts about making your costume which the audience might find interesting or even amazing whilst they are watching you parading your pride and joy in front of them. Also I think the judges read those comments so they are primed to ask you more questions when you go for the costume judging. So if you have learned something whilst you were making the costume write it down and tell them eg "This is the first time I used my button hole setting on my sewing machine and Im really pleased how they came out..I can do button holes now!" Then the judges will scrutinise the button holes up close and be pleased that you have progressed in your costume making skills. ^_^

You're welcome. Dont let it scare you. Everyone will be really nice to you and supportive backstage, and then when you go on stage the crowd always cheer everybody ..it is so uplifting. Cosplay audiences are the best! You have nothing to be nervous about. ^_^ ...one piece of advice I will give is practice what you want to do when you are on stage - try different poses that suit your character - use a big dressing mirror to see what poses work well, then you have an idea of what you can do on stage when you get out there - this will reduce the risk of Rabbit in the Headlights feeling and give you some confidence. Most of all enjoy yourself because that is what the day is all about.
