Hey guys!
Hope you guys are awesome!!
this past weekend {11/06/16 and 12/06/16} i went to Yorkshire cos play con at the Sheffield arena! i went with friends. I wasn't planning on liking it there or even having a good time but it was awesome. i had so much fun and my bank took a hammering!! i spent WAY too much!
little thing, my friend Paige asked Ki, Aleks and Me to go with her. we all said yes of course but i said to her 'ill just be the taxi just don't expect me to dress up' and she said that was fine. Then a few months down the line {we had the tickets booked for 6 months} i was asking her what kind of stuff will be there to buy, and will there any Harry Potter stuff, YES, Harry Potter is my obsession!! then, like a tone of snitches {see what i did there?} it hit me... HARRY POTTER OUTFIT!!!! so i gave in and got a Hufflepuff cloak {that's my Hogwarts house} and a wand. i didn't take the wand as i didn't want to break it. but if i do say so my self... Dumbledore would have been proud!!
So for those who you don't know what cos play con is. its the the England version of comi con.
people dress up as there favorite characters from films, books, movies, anime, games. anything you can imagine really.
the main theme for the weekend was Star Wars, please forgive me i don't have a clue about star wars... only what my boyfriend and friends tell me. The bad guys from star wars {again, sorry} was walking round, keeping everyone in their place. and ALL of the guys was in character. there was even little sandmen {Aleks told me what they was} and she wanted a picture and they pinched her phone {obviously gave it back} and started running away with it and as i understand that's what they do.
it was adorable actually, there was obviously kids in those suits, never too young to dress up, even if it is a baddy. ha!!
There was loads of staff dressed up by people you would know... Transformers, Harley Quinn {the original not the new slutty one} Batman, Superman, The Avengers, Captain Jack Sparrow, Dr who and the darlek things {sorry don't like Dr who either, Don't Hate em ha} even the Disney princesses... i was gutted couldn't get a picture with one of them! =( GUTTED!!!! but i saw, Elsa, Anna, Ariel, Mulan, Belle, Olaf, near enough every Disney guy/girl you can think of.
There was a couple of hosts for the event, One didnt dress up till day two as they was doing a charity leg was, ill get to that later. but there was a Joker... he did a FABULOUS job, there's going to be a picture below. he was brilliant and he hosted a few things and like i said i managed to get a picture with him and Ki, Ki loves the Joker.
We all dressed up on Day 1:
Aleks {i am spelling her name right btw, shes Polish} was a Sith
Paige and Ki below: Ki went as Goku from Dragonball Z and Paige went as Jemima from Cats.
This is Me below: Hufflepuff student with Cruella Di Vil!!!!! i cant believe i met her! hehe
Right... Time for a few pictures from day 1:
Day one was brilliant. We arrived at about half 10 as it started at 11 but i wasn't 100% sure on where i was going plus i HATE the motorway with a passion, im fine when im on it, its just getting off the bloody thing!!
When we got in the arena we had a mooch round and spent a little bit of money. There was loads of stalls there, they had Jewelry, charms, t-shirts, figures, prints, pictures, all sorts!! and there was a couple of authors signing books. i got Prayer for the Blood Angel by Chantelle Roberts. i will do a review once I've read it for you guys.
there was also a woman from Attack on Titan, i had no idea who she was but Paige was super excited and booked a picture with her. she also got a signed picture. she was lovely. Paige met her as Jemima and she flipped! she loved it and even wrote something about her outfit! just awesome!! and there was some power rangers there but they was from the new ones not the ones i grew up with so i wasn't that bothered if i'm honest.
There was a fun display on the main stage in the afternoon, it was Jedi Training and the little kids was fighting the New bad guy from Star Wars and the guy with the spikes on his head and a red and black face {please comment if you know who they are ha}.
we left about 4.30 ish. so a long day with all the walking and excitement.
it was overall a fun and tiring day! we all got home and just sank into bed! worth every penny though.
DAY 2:
Day 2 wasn't as good as day one if i'm honest we got there at the same time but left about 2pm. we was so tired and we just wanted to spend what money we had left. or in my case spend over the amount i had given my self. HEY! we not going away this year so i thought why not. got pictures for the flat though. ill post them when i have them all in frames.
The main thing i wanted to watch was the charity Leg wax. it was for HALLAM FM: CASH FOR KIDS. i'm not sure how much they raised but loads of people was giving the bit they had. that was brilliant. all the Men dressed up as Snow White and one of them got their back waxed and another got their chest waxed... he immediately regretted it, bless him. overall another great day. mainly shopping. we all got to my place and tucked into a burger... YUM!!
as you can tell we had a blast! and Ki and me spent WAY too much money. ha! i think i'm going to do a post about the stuff i got! it was a lot haha. put it this way... between us {Ki and Me} we got 6 t shirts, a mug, bookmarks and a crap load of prints, one of which is Spiro the Dragon! i miss Spiro games! and other stuff. ill do a post about the haul! :)
Well that's it for this post, don't want to bore you too much with the details, i could just go on and on!
