YUKON ♥ Anime convention & a Bunny Neko ♪

 Hi there (^-^)v ~♥

This saturday (28.4.12) was really eventful ! Like I told you before,
I went to the anime and manga convention called

YUKON in Solingen ( Germany ).
I was invited there to be a member of the Jury for their Cosplay contest.
This is the ticket, I got mine for free ♪

Isnt' it cute ?

I decided to do something rather unusual ( for me ) and chose to wear

bunny-ears instead of Cat-ears ♥

I think they go quite well with that outfit ^^ As you can see it was

a very beautiful and sunny day. It was very warm ( about 27 °C),
I hope summer is finally starting now !

The sky really looks like in a painting *-* I wish every day could be like that ♥

I also meet two girls named

Vicky and Josy.
Yayy \(^-^)/ Let's brighten up the day with some pastel colours ♪

~♪~

I also went to a Park in Solingen which was 5 minutes away from the convention, as the Yukon photographer asked me to do a photo shoot with her. I will share the pictures with you soon ~ but for now, 

here are some snap shots I took in that lovely Park ♥

Usagi ♪

Of course there were also some shops at the convention...I really

took a long time to look at all the cute things there ! You could buy almost everything a anime and Japan lover likes ♥

There were anime plushies, posters , mousepads, hats, figures,

lots of manga and a lot more !

There was also a very lovely shop which sold Lolita fashion accessories !

They were all handmade by the girl who sold them,

I was pretty amazed as everything looked like the most lovely thing I've ever seen ♥

I just had to buy this cute headpiece.

It reminds me a lot of Liz Lisa Gyaru fashion and I really want to

take lots of inspiration from that brand/type of fashion for my summer outfits.

I also had to buy a Bow ♥

There were so many ! In pastel pink and blue, with different decoration on them...it was hard to decide which one to take !

( I really should have taken a picture of them,
then you'd instantly understand what I mean ^^).

I finally came to the decision to take a blue one as my hair is already pink most of the time ♪ I like pastel blue a lot, so I want to let it flow into my style a little bit more ~

Another picture I took at the bus stop ^^

 ~♪~

I also bought a little Bonbon hair accessory,but I must admit I forgot to take a picture of it ~ Gomen. It has the same pattern as the Bow.

All the items have the girl's brand stiched in their back :
V.aroc.R

Some of you might have already wondered :
"And what's with the Cosplay contest Neko spoke of ?"
It was really exciting ♥ I was one of 4 jury members, we were 2 girls and two boys. The Cosplayers had to show everyone a little performance on stage.

Some of them danced or did funny/dramatic short plays.

We had to judge them considering a few categories, like performance/appereance etc.

The Cosplayer who won the 1st place
(and got a professional photo shooting + a coupon for a cosplay shop )

is the one standing next to me on the left side in this picture !

( Yes, the one with the awesome blue lights on her head ♥ )

She performed with the other ones on the picture ~ a really great group !

 For everyone who doesn't know to which anime this cosplay belongs it's from

Ao no Exorcist

and the winner cosplay is Rin Okumura, the main character.

The 2. place was a cosplay of Ciel from the anime Black Butler, sadly

I didn't take a good picture of her.

The 3. place is a great cosplayer I already knew ^^

Isn't she cute ?!! ♥ And she made this Cosplay on her own !
It's so good, I wish I could do that.

And of course there were lots of other great Cosplayers as well.

Final Fantasy IX :

 ~♪~

At the Yukon there was also a Maid café !

After all that excitement I really needed to eat something,

I decided to eat a japanese noodle soup ♥

A Host and a Maid :

There was a multifaceted program at the YUKON, like

for example a workshop to learn to play japanese drums !

Some of the shops :

Two guys of the huge team of organisers :

 The guy on the left also moderated the stage program with a cute co-host.^^

Another really interesting workshop was learning how to play
"Go"

 ~♪~

I'm sorry I really can't explain this now to you ^^"

You might be better off searching some tutorial on the internet ♪

Just a snap shot ♥

It gives me a somehow funny feeling knowing I own these hair clips since I was 14 ! In my eyes some things considering taste don't ever change once you've found the right thing for you ♥ Of course you develop too !

but certain things might always be the prefered ones ^^

 ~♪~

The lovely cherry trees in the Park we did the photo shoot in : 

 And another closeup ♥

More nature for you ♥

 ~♪~

 ~♪~

We took photos at all these places, So stay tuned ^^

But we also had to walk a lot !

Well, you knever know to what kind of awesome places your
feet might take you ♥

I was very tired at the end of the day.

 ~♪~

I guess everybody knows that feeling after an exciting trip, when

you are tired and look forward to going home and celebrate a reunion with your bed ^_~ ♥

We had to drive home by train, like most of the times. I think in the evening,

when you travel with people that are dear to you the atmosphere gets really romantic and lovely ( in the last train, which takes us back to our little villages there use to be no people or only a few silent ones ).

Add some music and everything feels so fine ♪

I really enjoyed that day ♥ 

Now I need to learn again for my last 2 final exams.

♫

Neko's music :

I think chinese Pop music gives you the perfect summer feelings ♥
