Such a beautiful voice…
I loved her work as Reira in the anime Nana but this song is one of my favorite! Her cristalline voice and the bittersweet melodie give this song a surreal atmosphere.

I just had to wait 20 minutes to have my fabulous ex libris dedicated! Yuki Nobuteru accepted to take a pic with me! ^o^

Let’s not forget the two items signed by Toko Kawai and Hikano Takanaga!

There was a signing session organised by Azula/Kaze editions at Japan expo!
I almost yelled of joy when I got a ticket to take part on it!

This time, I didn’t lose my ticket and the signing happened without any problem!

She was very patient and gentle, and the organisators were very professionnal and great!
It was one of the best moment from Japan expo 2011!

Saturday, 7h13
Train made no miracle and was late, this making me late for the tramway!
I had planned this possibility and had printed all tramway/metro schedules. Problem: all schedules were uncorrect! It seems a sudden strike, once again, along with roadworks (which took place of course in convention area in the convention days!) made all my plannings wrong.
Instead of arriving at the convention at 8h, I was there at 8H40. T__________________T
I had special tickets to have a 8H30 entering (ideal to get signing sessions tickets etc) but they were already busted with the trains delay. :cop:
And of course, a misinformed organisator send me to the wrong queue, making me waste 15 more minutes >:(

8H45
I’m in the right queue, miracle!
Problem: the security system has problem reading my tickets.
Happily, it is solved quickly.

8H50
I’M IN THE CONVENTION!!!!!!
It is now 10H. Deciding to explore the convention and find the cosplay change rooms for the afternoon cosplay, I begin the marathon. 2km later, at the extreme north of the convention is the cosplay area. Did I precise the convention is the biggest in Europe? It took me 15min to find the change rooms, and the convention is still not full of people! oO
I decide to put on my cosplay immediately, seeing that I wouldn’t have much time between the first signing session and the cosplay event to remake that marathon.
I also buy a sandwitch before going to the signing session…4 euros the damn sandwich!!!!

Key to heaven
I find the queue for the signing session of Toko Kawai, there are already 20 people. I have 40 min till the signing session beginning soI sit down patiently with my sandwich and yaoi books.
The session has begun , I have the ticket, that one, firmly in my hand.

One second I have it, one second later: where the hell did it go!!!
I check every pocket, bag and book, shake my dress…ticket is nowhere to be find. During ten long minutes, I am looking for that damn paper. Another yaoi fan queing with me helps me…with no result. T___________T
Despaired, I am ready to abandon the signing session when she got a brillant idea:
“couldn’t have it fallen in that ground hole?” Indeed. The ground had a little evacuation hole, less than 2 cm wide AND TICKET HAD FALLEN INSIDE IT.
Seemed like my back luck marathon wasn’t ended yet…
From then on, I didn’t take my eyes off that damn ticket and ioooooo miracle all went well. I got my yaoi book signed by Toko Kawai!

Toko Kawai was astonished by my cosplay, she asked many questions about it and took pics of it! ^o^

Seth Nightroad

Esther Blanchett

I finally choose the last version of Esther Blanchett, a majestic dress with roses!

I decided to go with taffetas from since they are very serious sellers with quality but not overprized fabrics.

I bought white and dark bordeaux red taffetas fabric for this cosplay. I will decide on the wig later, once I have ended the sewing part.

But for now, I will be working on my Aria Link cosplay!

Those photoshoots took place at Kana Editions Booth, on Saturday (special photoshoot reserved for the Black Butler cosplay winners) and on Sunday (ten places limited photoshoot).

My only regret is not having had enough time to make a better make-up…

I really like Objectif Costumes photoshoots: they are always patient, gentle and the result is professionnal and always surprising!

Guess who’s that? ^o^

Here is one of my new treasures!
