A Homecoming Of Sorts - LRG Cosplay Festival

It has been over a month since the Loving Rainbow Garden Cosplay Festival, and I am eternally grateful for my boyfriend snapping lots of pictures, but I have come to accept that I will not be able to cram them all into one blog entry. So for now, here is a pic of me hosting. XD

Loki Heart tapped me to host the event on a bit of short notice, and I’m really glad that my schedule cooperated. I’ve been lying low in the convention scene for years now, doing closet cosplays for kicks and sticking mostly to Japanese fashion. It was the perfect re-introduction to cosplay events, and a chance to meet new people as well.

I saw some familiar faces, and got to meet some folks I’d only known online. Others I hadn’t seen in years!

I was floored by the talent among the karaoke contestants and the bands present, I legitimately did not know how good our local talent pool had gotten.

I’m definitely looking forward to meeting more members of the community, and of course, hosting more events for Loving Rainbow Garden!

‘Til next entry, Vanessa ❤

Midnight Run, Midnight Fun

The Midnight Run Halloween Party is the second event I’ve hosted for Loving Rainbow Garden (I haven’t posted about the Cosplay Festival yet, eep! I have finally written down my feelings for Cosplay Festival!) and it felt like coming home. The event was once again spearheaded by Loki Heart, and the team was more or less the same this time around, making it super easy for all of us to work together. XD

Lesson learned from Cosplay Festival: Go for comfort! This time I was so comfy because I went in a penguin onesie and flats. XD I could run around without struggling this time!

It was great seeing familiar faces and new ones at Midnight Run! An old college friend popped up, and I got to meet some online friends, too. Some members of our local lolita fashion community were also present, t’was a shame I couldn’t join them in celebrating the anniversary of the community since I had hosting duties.

Some delays and adjustments to the schedule happened, but the show kept going! We had our Fashion Monster Runway Contest, and people brought their A-game. The winner was Kristina, one of our local lolitas who really piled on the gorgeous details. <3 Got to chat with the founder of our local Lolita fashion community as well, designer Justine Chantelle of Dorotee Sweetlips.

The costume contest participants were also pretty awesome! Our champion was such a cutie. <3

Mad props to the open stage performers and the bands that performed! We were treated to performances by Melodieux Celestina, a load of collaborations with FureRu, and the musical stylings of Tribu ni Dulu and Moonlight Symphony.  Too bad our party got shut down BY THE POLICE(!!!) before Project: MATERIA could play </3 We really did stretch ‘til midnight!

I hope that everyone enjoyed Midnight Run. Looking forward to the next event at Loving Rainbow Garden!

‘Til next entry, Vanessa ❤
