So if you are able to make it there on the day, come for a visit and say hello I shall be there with many others including almost the full group that appeared at London MCM Expo in October.

    Paris Games Festival

    My friend Laura Sindall and me was sponsored by Digital Bro's to go over to Paris dressed as Ayane and Sonia to be booth babes to help them promote Tecmo's new released game Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.

    I was loads of fun as we meet some firneds again and yet at the same time saw loads of amazing games that are due to come out ^_^

    So we sure did have a load of fun! Thank You Digital Bro's

    Here is the report done by my friend Laura showing our full 3 day journey through the festival.

     There is the report... but still love to highlight some of my best parts of the day...

    The yummy sushi meal at Ta Sushi! The sushi was sooo fresh and gorgouse ^_^ We had a wonderful laugh and ending with me thinking the plastic case that held my dessert was chocolate and trying to bite into it XD

    Most people know I love ice cream and therefore I was over the moon to get my hands on Icecream after a hard days work of... standing lol XD

    Sonia grew wings!!! Haha we the amazing game Aion was there for people to play, which I didn't get a chance to play as all the places was bombarded with so many people :( However... we found this awesome poster and HAD to do a pose, though I wanted to take it home XD

    The Iffle Tower! Yes I know some of you may think I'm crazy, though I was over joyed to see it as I have never seen the tower before and was wonderful seeing it light up like a wonderful christmas tree every hour.

    Now just a few pictures of us posing as booth babes at Paris Games Festival

    Now the next report...

    The Expo was a fun time as I meet loads of my friends again, even though I didn't have that much time to talk to them and ended with either a breif chat or even a run by hello... I love you all!

    But amazingly enough we bumped into the deary Mark once again! Who interviewed both Laura and I and for once... you can actually see me talk... be worried! XD

    Well that is about it of the amazing journey up to now but first... some of the other fun parts of the event

    The wonderful meal ended up with me hugging my Mushu from Kez all day and me thinking that the menu actually sold Elephant as a dish XD

    One of the things I did not expect to appear was a cake! And OMG look for Chin got me ^_^ a Doraemon cake! That sure did make my day! As I did not expect a cake yet alone a Doraemon one XD

    Still can not believe they made me cut it and eat it T_T

    Well sunday was a relaxing and therefore I wasn't in costume and had fun running around helping TecmoKoei and shopping with everyone ^_^

    Me and Joe Stephens, my God it has been agaes since we last seen, since this little man doesn't travel around much or goes to conventions so our average meet is like... twice a year!

  • Another Year Of Cosplay

    Its been been one year of cosplaying once again! Looking back at my collection for this year I realised I have a number of 13 costumes made (indeed it has been a busy year).
    Here are some picture of the costumes Warriors Orochi 2- Da Ji

    Photobucket

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2- Momiji

    Photobucket

    Zeta Gundam- Emma Sheen

    I must say that my most pleased costume is Major Motoko Kusanagi (Hard Disc Ver) from Ghost in the Shell. This was the most challenging costume to make, having it be made from full leather. Actually evetrything except the visor was made from leather and everything was hand stitched.

    So this year, we have a winning costume... The Major ^_^

    Photobucket

    Hope that this coming year I will produce more costumes and learn some new skills, maybe learning to use a sewing machine would be good XD

    For now I am in the progress of making a cosplay of Sonia from Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 to help promote the game for Tecmo at Paris Games Festival shall update you all later :)

    Stay tuned!

  • AyaCon Awesomeness!!!

    Ok so it has been like almost a month since it has happened up hell everyone knows i take forever to right up my stuff unless I am in the mood so ... here we go

    Thursday- The awesome day of travelling down to Conventry! Man was first time going to a convention by train so was a releave for once to not the sitting in a seet for over 5 hours! Though get there we had the problem of me trying to find my friend Sam (Defrains), and since we were both at different stations that where miles from one another... we came to such a problem of where the heck each of us where... in the end TAXI!!!! Isn't money and taxi a saviour when your lost?! YES!
    Also this was the amazing day of Kez's early birthday night out and we drove out ( in her fiances car) to town and have a meal, which took us like 1 hour to find a place open. Washell of a load of laughs having alook around and then finding how all the resturants we need was all around the corner of one another... oh well. In the end I ended up buying a giant jar of cocktail for Kez, well we drank it! and was lovingly... drunk lol but must was... JellyBaby cocktail is sooooo yummy ^^
     
    In the end we drove back and this was the worrying part one for Sam, JakeX and me as we walked into the DARK woods and for Kez and Joe as their car ran out for gas! (Glad yous found a gas station thought and got back safely!) then meeting up with the LONG LONG no meet Yaz!!! at long last we finally meet! and everyone else like Mike and Amber... here we where mostly drunk and therefore sat on the floor for a couple hours... talking XD

    Friday- Ha! the first day of Aya... and what costume do i wear in a blazing sunny day? Spandex Taki from Soul Callibur IV


    Picture by Nert of ManyLemons
     
    well least it was comfy to walk around just sweating anf freezing at times of the day... got nice pics of the costume and molested by almost every girl friends of mine lol so... so morning was a geat experience XD

    Later on we all meet up to creat a group consisting on Kez, Yaz, Joe, JakeX, Sam and me and we went to play the cosplay battle, where we have 30min to dress up one of our team mates into a character or the genre given! Our genre was Mecha and model was Joe 8P so we made a Original Gundam... Whay you think? 8P



    Afterwards was the party! Not any party but actually Chevi (AngelAiko) Birthday Party ^^ everyone had to dress in 60s? 70s? 80s? sorry i forgot XD but was awesome we all dressed up, i tried my best but was hard as I couldnt find any neon color outfits XD haha but this will explain the final fun of the day lol


    Featuring awesome Kez and Joe ^^

    Saturday- MASCARADE DAY! Ok so I was entering the mascarade as Zhen Ji from Dynasty Warriors 6... I was sooo happy ^^ Not that I was going into the mascarade as Zhen Ji, I was pissed of with that as I was offically sick of wearing this costume and at the same time worrying how on earth I was going to take this costume off!
    The dress being body tight and none stretch with no zip was proven a pain to get off by many how has helped... Kez who also did Zhen Ji was clever enough to make hers slight loose so she could get out of hers, therefore Kez (Y) to you XD and thank you for ACTUALLY having to rip me out of the damn dress! Oh well before the costume came to its end's of its live got some more pretty pic of it before it died


    Photo by Nert of ManyLemons

    Before all this stress happen had an awesome time with Yaz, Kez, Joe and Sam where we went to dealers room shopping about XD taking crazy pictures like this


    Photo by Leena...? XD
    Yes I was Taki in the morning LOL


    Really we were just trying to chill out before the mascarade 8P Oh and met Pete for Cosplay Fever was a right laugh talking to him and having a photoshoot lol Sure he is laughing at the answers I gave on the form right now 8P

    Also bumped into my other awesome friends Priz, Bec and Jess was shocked to see them all here since we live so close and not manage to know we where all going so was a awesome group reunion lol


    Man their costumes are so cute and awesome and damn them for not entering the mascarade XD

    After mascarade was the awesome saturday party! before the party we thought to eat a pizza or two before we go... so we all sat outside eating our pizza XD drinking our rose wine well... Yaz's XD and then heading to the party haha Here's a picture of the fun before the party- meaning before a literally pass out XD


    Awesome how all the guys sat at the front striking a pose and us girls looking hyper and pulling faces! XD

    Sunday- The last day for the con 8'( the time went soo quick that I didn't even take note... it was sad but at the same time really really relaxing fun day ^^  Hung out with Kez, Joe and Yaz the whole day which was awesome! That was the best part! worse part was ... I was in spandex once again XD luckly there was sun so most of the time when I was wearing it I was warm ^^ Here is a picture of Leviathan from Megaman Zero


    Photo by Micheal Tsang

    Not many pictures yet still waiting for them ¬¬... Redkun...

    Anyways we had an awesome picnic in the grass eatting a load of food we bought from CostCutters, the sun made it awesome to sit around, though the flies didnt help XD but that didn't stop us ^^ we went back and forth to dealers room where we all bought many things XD Kez got me a baby Haro!!!


    Isn't it sooooo cute??? Thank you Kez ^^ Wuv you big sis! <3

    Ahh we later went for the Cosplay Battle 2 XD same group! Shame JakeX couldn't make it... but no worries he got a wolloping for not making it!


    SEE!!!

    Back to the cosplay battle! Again we dressed up Joe, sure he loved it 8P
    This time we dressed him up into a Pheonixand i most say... don't cha think we did an awesome job?


    I'm chuffed with it! Well done group T&N!!! ;)

    After this, we head to the ending ceremony which was awesome showing the drump players (I know they have a proper name but i forgot) XD Once that ending really did hit me that everything has gone so fast! But that didn't stay in my head for long as afterwards it was FINAL PARTY!!!


    Final Night of Awesomeness with the great chumsss ^^

    Man during this party many things happened from someone actually spilling some sort of red liquid on Kez's £80 kimono O_O we spent ages in the toilets trying to scrub it out XD Hopefully we managed to save the kimono once and for all ^^
    Another thing was I managed to lose the inner diamond Heart to my necklace which almost gave me an heart attack!


    Picture the diamond heart being just slightly smaller then a 1p

    Something that small I lost in a almost pitch black party disc like night with so many people dancing around and I had been walking, jumping, dancing everywhere! My hopes to finding it was really decreasing however amazing... Yaz managed to find it with the dance floor!!! so... OMG YAZ YOU ARE THE SAVIOUR!!!

    Then it was all over... and it was farewells to my big sis Kez TT^TT she was first to head off and was sad to say good bye! But they needed their sleep up for the morning drive which is very important! but still miss you!!!!

    In the end I hung out with a few more people like, Tom, Nina, Chevi, Mike, Vincent and many more! We had a fun chilling chat about and then I said my good byes as I had to be out of my room at 9:30am!!! Evil con people for making it so early!

    But oh well was an awesome weekend and here I leave you all! 2 hours writing!!! i think that is enough for a year XD

    Shall post again about my up coming costume for a games festival later stay tuned!

    Over and out

    Well from the time between last post and now I had much work to do, from finishing work deadlines for university, to making costumes from conventions with almost is like one every month XD yes I am crazy I know!

    Well from during for last post that was just before the Convention Minamicon 15, which was located in Southampton! A bit of a long travel down but was worth it due to all the fun XD I stayed at my wonderful crazy friends Chevi and Nina's! which was the best ^^  getting in and out of costumes through out the whole weekend! To be honest there isn't really an way to describe how fun it was except... putting up this photo hahah XD it really does except the whole convention inside and out I think!



    Now Minamicon wasn't only about the parties... well I lie it is XD but also its fun to meet new people and enter mascarade running randomly about! ... I wish XD when I got on to doing my walk down the mascarade i was terrified and also I couldn't see due to my visor so i really didn't help hahah XD Though it was worth it!

    I won a crazy award called "Most Likely To Give A Man A Heart Attack When She Bends Over"... why is that?... I did Major Motoko Kusanagi (Hard disc version) from Ghost in the Shell LOL

    Here are some photos of the three costumes I wore to MinamiCon 15

  • Return of Costumes and Copyrighting

    Hello everyone!

    Right before I start complaining lol... I hope everyone had a wonderful new year! :) and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching I hope that the wonders of the Ox will give you great health, wealth and allow you to achieve your ambitions:)

    Well what can I say? nothing much has happened since new years, no conventions or expeditions but no worries all is heading this way =] In March there will be a Convention called Minamicon in Southampton what I will be attending to and since its a three day convention... three costumes it is... AHHHH! no time! >_<

    Don't worry I have already started on my first and already past half way so woooooooo and then... two to go hahahaha. So everyone keep a eye out in the future! The three up coming costumes are...

    1- Lightning : Final Fantasy XIII
    2- Major : Ghost in the Shell (hard Disc version)
    3- Tsubaki : Soul Eaters

    Yes! I know! Anime costumes for once lol I have hardly done any anime costumes except Near and Maya Natsumi and that is by accident lol but anyways keep and eye out and feel free to leave a comment:)


    Well except from that what other information or updates I have for people? well Nothing much has happened but I have been having photo shoots with my old Koei costumes and my new Faith costume from Mirror's Edge here are a few pictures to Koei fans

    I present you ... Kunoichi from Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi

    And to all those Mirror's Edge fans out there... present you with Faith the runner!

    Photobucket

    As some of you may have realized that I have now copyrighted all my photos. The reason for this is that lately since December 2008 I have had a french stalker who has been tracking me and my friend Laura and the reason for this is so that he/she can take my picture and impose as me...

    The french person you can really tell if is male or female as this person is a freak to think its start to impose as someone else, but the site wont do anything and the french person wont back down in they are Kaman Fong which is me Kaka Extreme. Costumes such as my Da Ji and Himiko has been taken which I am not pleased!

    So anyone who happens to come across this blog site http://kaman-fong.skyrock.com/ it is not me they may have my photos and info that I have on my xanga but that is not me as first of all as you all may have known I speak fluent english and type it too!

    So sadly all photos from now on will be copyrighted even if is means ruining the picture... blame the french imposter!

    Anyway enough of me complaining, I hope every one has a wonderful day and keep an eye out for future costumes :)
