I decided to bring back my chaplin costume.I wore it Halloween and got so much attention! https://fbcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-0/1901123_10152847190483524_6080970149774004068_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoibCJ9&oh=74e577282f7704c5653983f9d0ec7a97&oe=55336AC4&__gda__=1432453627_9fe98091c914df4f516913e6a2059c42

You're kidding?! i am actually hoping they are taking the micky. if not, then....ya....

i dont think i can repeat what i said when i saw this on facebook! i wasnt meant to go this year as i can't travel on my own. but now i'm seriously thinking of risking it to meet this giant of a guest! STAN LEE!! i swear i thought you were playing a cruel joke on me and were soon going to go "nope...sorry, this is really his stunt double" or something like that.my brain still can't clock it! nya!

That's what I felt like - guess it was being so new to it all... must look around for a 'pair of balls +1' i shall speak for myself here. i simply ADORE! the attention i get from being in costume! if i only get a few people asking for my photo i think "well, i have to try harder next time" when i get loads asking for a picture im like "hell ya, im awesome, i know you love it!" *strikes a pose* lol. seriously though, as long as you are polite about it then its fine. i only got annoyed once when a group of Americans just walked up, stood next to me and yelled "ya! take a picture!" without even asking me, i found that very rude. also, as long as your not grabby and creepy with the somewhat sexier cosplayers then its all good! my best memory had to be what i think were teenagers (you just dont know these days) that walked a good bit away from me, were obviously talking about my costume and then before i turned a corner and was out of site i heard a cry of "sally! wait!" then they got all bouncy and started asking for pictures, its was lovely and i was delighted to pose for however much they wanted.

did anyone take pics of my cosplay? i was dressed as sally from nightmare before christmas

aw. i thought the bit about Colin baker was lovely! that man was an absolute sweetheart and deserved every bit of love he got

That's me! Your bags were getting out of control! lol indeed! the one with the food was the most important one!

oh lord you poor thing! i remember the eve crowd situation. you handled that amazing! i was the girl in the red wig and star trek uniform.

honestly can not fault these people! they have the patience of saints! honestly my temper with some of the really ungratefull rude people attending these things would win over too many times, which is why its a good thing i never crew them lol. my brain seemed to die this time around and i became a fizzled mess of fangirlishness who could not for some odd reason get euros out of her head! i had to keep asking for help with the cash while paying if i had to do it with change, >.< but no one ever got snappy, they were lovely. as always, when you explain to the people in photo areas you cant que due to dissability like a flash they bring closer to the front and are so kind. to the guy in the A area, i enjoyed all our lovely meetings, on sunday it was becoming a little joke how many times i was in and out! each time he laughed at my growing bag count hehe, made the experiance so much more lovely. when i missed photo shoots due to clashes they kindly gave me autograph vouchers in return. all in all, you guys are amazing! i never ever have complaints against you!

ah now! i totally understand you all moaning about lines and what not, but telling showmasters to bash on the smokers in line is so not on. i am not a smoker and never will smoke, i have seen it ruin my mothers health to such a state that she cant even climb stairs now without needing a rest, BUT! this does not mean i bash smokers. smoking is an addiction and people also do it to help with stress, its very unhealthy yes and not a bit nice being near but try to remember how you are on the day, your stressed over how ever long your queing, your over excited and nervous about meeting guests of your dreams and so on, its moments like that they need to light up! thats just really pushing it complaining about that, sorry, but that really annoyed me.

i was sally from nightmare before christmas on saturday. thanks to you all who complimented me and asked for pictures, it made all the hard work i put into the costume worth while! i found it very funny that by the end of the day i was responding to the name sally when people called out to me lol.

getting on my flight from cork tomorrow at 4pm so shall see you all when i roll up at earls court dressed up in all my gothy greatness! after the show we are heading off to some club that plays the kinda music you can mosh to lol

I know you said no food or drink but surely we can have a bottle of water? It's a long enough thing to go through without even some water

I agree with seating. That's always been the only issue I had each year. Due to very limited seating the only option alot seems to just sit on the floor. As someone who is disabled AND a cosplayer this is very uncomfortable and worrying ( can I get back up, will I mess my costume) but I need the rest. Two years ago I was in actual tears my back had locked after trying to get up from the floor, the pain was so intense. That's my only ever complaint. Everything else is amazing

Well done people, you made me cave! I must join in! HODOR!! That is all

Yay. I'm so happy for all of you! I'm kinda relived though I must say that it's not a guest for me, money saved! I know how badly people wanted him though so I'm delighted so many people got their wish! :-)

That's fine. I'm catching up on stupid mind numbing yet brilliantly addictive youtube videos!

i have only ever done this while waiting for episodes of once upon a time, its exciting lol

yay. im still up!

It depends on how accurate you'd wanna go for Sally. I think that would be super cool to see someone go ALL out with the contacts and all, but it's 100% up to you and your personal preferences. I know in the parks, they have Sally with normal eyes so she's less frightening to the kids, but again- up to you. It'd be a tough choice for me to make too! ya, im just worried if some kids reconise me and want a picture or something and then get all upset by the scary eyes. i do really want to go all out on this though, its the most thought ive put into a cosplay, im even making some of those dead flowers she plays with in the show, before they fire up.

well, i know somewhere here i posted i wanted to do a disney costume. i have done so! i decided to go with a character i love greatly, sally from nightmare before christmas. i have the dress now, but it needs serious alterations as just out of the packet it looks really cheap. i also cut off the sleaves of a white shirt and got some white gloves, sewed them together, painted hand details (nails and so on) on the gloves and cut the arms up and sewed them back together, creating the stitched up doll look for arms, so much easier then painting my arms white! i got white leggings and will cut them up and sew them back up again to have the same effect. i am thinking of buying white contact lenses that have black dots on them for the eyes, but i was wondering would that look too creepy or just right for the costume? needs tips here! sunday i will just go for the all favorite starfleet ds9 style uniform. bring along my hair extension, my mad makeup skills and make myself bootiful for the photoshoots :-)

oooh! is it sci-fi, horror, mystery, comedy!? lol sounds very exciting

I think i am easily going to blow my savings. but you know what, seeing the shockingly bad year i have had i think i deserve it, so i doubht i shall regret this decision for one moment! i just have to survive the plane ride lol. vodka and coke before hand always helps sooth the nerves!

decided i am not going. its far too quiet for my liking on the whole info side and i really can not risk getting my flight hotel and tickets now only to hear its cancelled.

i am very happy for you! that first con feeling is like no other, here, have a cookie and cyberhug! *gives just that*
