WonderCon 2016 - Day 3

Well, I did not attend WonderCon on Day 2, and that was quite alright with me! I caught up on some much needed rest and relaxed in LA! My partner, Agent Afronaut, spent the day going to panels and doing interviews, as he had a press badge. I did not have a press badge, so I would have been alone most of the day, had I went.

Day 3 was the return of my Spider Gwen cosplay and also the retirement day. I am not sure how it happened, but by the end of the day just about every piece of my cosplay was ruined. I guess I socialized and webbed-out more than I thought I did, because when I went to change at my hotel I was shocked to see how my cosplay was so badly damaged! Oh, well. I had fun with it and I look forward to doing new things!

Some of the first amazing cosplayers I ran into happened to be near each other, so why not a group photo! Representing the Spider Verse: Gwen, Miles, and Cindy.

So, Day 3 was mostly about socializing with other cosplayers and attendees. I took a lot of pictures and had a lot of fun! - I ran into the girl above who was holding down a table for an artist. Of course, we had to team-up for obvious reasons!

The girl above was so lovely to talk to, not to mention she had an amazing cosplay of the Rapunzel going on! I loved her hair, it's what made me stop her! She told me she didn't make the wig herself, but it still looks amazing on her!

[myself with Melody Wang aka Chukairi]

I always make time for friends! I had to say goodbye to Melody, but I will see her at Fanime in May. (I'll see you there too if you attend!) She had a very busy WonderCon, but of course she did since she has many admirers!

[myself with Heather Curfman]

Heather is the sweetest! Unfortunately, I'm not sure when the next time is that I'll see her, but I enjoyed spending time with her at WonderCon! She had a very successful con! She was comissioned to make some Spider Gwen covers and she did a perfect job! You should check them out! 

[myself with a Harley Quinn cosplayer from Prism Comics]

So, when passing the Prism Comics booth, this amazing Harley Quinn cosplayer stopped us and she was the PERFECT Harley! Not only does she actually look like Harley Quinn is suppose to, but her role play never quit! From her acting to her voice, she was spot on! She was also so sweet! - In the pic, I tried to look annoyed, but I failed! She was just too cute!

[myself with BB8]

On Day 1, I had taken a pic of myself with BB8 at the Funko/Bounty Hunters booth, but it didn't turn out so well. So, if at first you don't succeed, try again!

Well, I had loads of fun at WonderCon this year, but as I said before I liked it in Anaheim better. I'm looking forward to next year even though it will be a long journey for me as I am moving to New York this year. Oops! I guess I just let the secret out! Haha! Yes, I'm moving from California to New York! Talk about a change! I'll be attending Kraken Con next and a few other cons in California before I head out. Hope to see you there!

WonderCon 2016 - Day 1

Well, WonderCon snuck up on me this year! Though I booked and arranged the trip in early December, I sort of just shoved it off to the side and then all of a sudden it was like- BAM! HERE I AM! However, I was still ready for it!

[myself before WonderCon Day 1]

My cosplay lineup for WonderCon this year was pretty small. Nothing extravagant. I have been wanting to wear my Rainbow Dash dress for a long time! I have had it for almost a year, but never found a con that I felt I could wear it to. WonderCon is a convention based on fan appreciate for all arts and it has really opened up to Anime and other pop culture outside of traditional comics, so I felt this was appropriate! - My cosplay was simple. The dress was from Target and I added rainbow stockings from Yandy to go with it. The shoes are simple black Mary Janes from Agaci.

Here's an upclose view of the make-up I did for my Rainbow Dash cosplay. If it seems "out there" to you -well, it is! I was going for that over-the-top, Amy Shrinkle look! I've always wanted to try it to match her style and that's what I came up with!

[Agent Afronaut outside of WonderCon]

Does the background look familiar to anything else on this blog? Well, it should! Simply replace the "WonderCon" banner with a Comikaze banner! This year, WonderCon was held in Los Angeles, California for the first time and it was inside the Los Angeles Convention Center, which was the same place we attended Comikaze 2015. - As, always, I attended WonderCon with partner, with whom most know as: Agent Afronaut.

[myself with artist Melody Wang aka Chukairi]

Day 1 was a pretty easy going for me. It was mostly just seeing friends and familiar faces while walking around and checking out the vendors. In the picture above you'll see myself with a very familiar face! In almost all of my convention posts you see Miss Melody Wang! She's become a great friend that I met at cons! If you look closely at the print on the right in the book on the table, you'll see what I bought from her at this con!

[myself with artist Heather Curfman]

I also made it a point to stop by and see Heather Curfman! Another lovely artist who I have made friends with thanks to conventions! She actually lives in Seattle, WA, so any time she comes back down to California is exciting!

[myself in front of the Collectors Corps booth]

Well, of course, Collector Corps was there! As always, I took a pic in front of their poster-wall. I'm a huge fan of this subscription series! It's totally worth the money and they send exclusives every month! I've not found another nerd subscription I like better. Oh, and I know I'm behind on posting my boxes! Ah! You know me! It's just a given!

***I'm not paid to promote Collector Corps. Nor do I receive anything from Funko. I am just a fan since the beginning!

[myself with the Hulk]

As, always, Funko and the Collector Corps bring their over sized replicas! Most were the same ones I have posed with at previous cons last year, but I had yet to see the Hulk! He was pretty impressive!

[myself with cosplayer MediocreWallOfChina]

I saw some amazing cosplay at WonderCon this year. This is one of my favorites! I love Pocahontas! She is my favorite Disney Princess and I don't feel I see enough of her at conventions, especially cosplay that does her justice, but this was great!

[myself with Agent Afronaut]

It was a pretty chill day. Not much to report. I had fun, but I missed the amenities and environment of Anaheim. I'm really glad that they have decided to bring it back to Anaheim in 2017!
