Cardiff Comic Con 2011... for REAL this time

[bluemeanie]

I think the recent pipe purchase was an attempt to get a soot beard to make up for the lack of real one

Thanks for the nice comments.

Hi David- did see you in costume and it looked fab- was stuck behind my desk pimping my Who book but did wave drunkenly to you in the hotel bar very late at night.

I remember! Cheers, Mike.

Fantastic!  Now where's Octobriana?

I'll have to produce pictures, won't I? Okay then: to follow. She's wearing the costume again on Friday, so give it a week.

Spoken like a man who has never cultivated a beard...

Thanks for the sympathy vote, Rich!  
I did say on Saturday that if I were really serious about cosplay I would have shaved, but I still have to be me in real life, and in real life I have a beard. I love my beard! I may shave it off one day in the future for just a day if I ever had a really, really good reason for looking like Johnny Alpha.

I'm still gutted you didn't win the Cosplay Parade

I'm putting out a request for photos on the FB group, so I'll let u know if any SD ones show up

[uncle fester]

Who did win the parade anyway?

[bluemeanie]

Had to be the girl in the leather thing, right??   

[House of Usher]

Oh yes! The Leela from Doctor Who costume worn by an attractive young lady called Sophie was a real treat.

Nah, I was talking to Terry, Leela's boyfriend- gutted that she only came second. Winner was the girl in the black and white costume with the Aztec-like head dress (no idea who the character was meant to be)

We had that conversation in the bar. She was Midna from Zelda, Twilight Princess, although to be honest the only clue for me was the head-dress

[House of Usher]

The girl dressed as 'Midna' was very pleasant to chat to. Deborah was quite taken with the girl's costume because she was very into Legend of Zelda on the Wii over Christmas. The fabric paint on the arms of her skintight suit was very effective (what kind of sports suit is that, by the way?). As for Johnny Alpha, the judging panel had a bit of a downer on a costume that incorporated a helmet that (gasp!) one didn't make oneself.

 

"LOL"


By the way, I'm excited to see dates advertised for next year's Cardiff Expo, 25-26th February 2012!

[balthaazar]

hmm I am the guy who was running it and it was all my money going into it and the costs were still going up and up and am i a moron for not wanting to put 3k of my own cash up with no guarantee of getting any of it back.

[Matt Timson]

Welcome to the board!

[briantm]

Anyone going to this again in February?

I've moved from Ireland to Swansea for college so I'm looking forward to this.
