I went to London MCM Expo last weekend for the first time in what seems like forever after having missed the one in May. I was really looking forward to it – to check out all of the amazing cosplayers and buy some merchandise, and to also visit my friends at their stalls. I’ve heard that it’s becoming busier by the year, and I kinda’ wished I listened to that because I ended up being such a zombie afterwards!

It was also my first time that I cosplayed! I usually go fully decked in gyaru for Expo but this time I decided to bite the bullet and cosplay one of my favourite characters – Wednesday Addams! It was a really last-minute decision, but I wanted to do something for Halloween and didn’t have any scary costumes. I had to practice pulling a moody face without cracking a smile… Thank you you to Chewiee for helping me out with this! Luckily I had it nailed for expo!

We got there pretty early so we just hung around outside for a little while, and I, for the first time, did cosplay photo shoots! I was so inexperienced and really didn’t know what to do, but the photographers were really patient ^/////^ I’ll create a new blog post as soon as they are online!

Yay, twins!

After the lil’ photoshoots we spent the rest of the day inside, trying to weave through the crowds. As you can see, I didn’t really take that many photos with the main reason being that it was packed. There were just so many people there that it was overwhelming, so I didn’t want to stick around for long. However I finally managed to meet my first ever internet friends, all in the same place at the same time! I squealed when I saw everyone I was just so happy. Hopefully I can see them all again one day!

However, I’m not too sure if I’ll go to the next expo because it was so exhausting, and I prefer Hyper Japan… But we’ll see! Until next time, cuties!

Agejo Gyaru at MCM Expo!

November 2, 2014April 18, 2021

Hey everyone! How are you? Hope you’re having a good weekend so far! ♡

Last week I went to MCM Expo! I did OTT agejo gyaru and I was quite nervous about this because I’ve never done this before, but then I thought about all of the amazing people I was going to see ଘ꒰◍ॢ•ᴗ•◍ॢ꒱༌✩ plus I really wanted to wear my new MA*RS socks and Ruby Rose headband that Charli got for me ♡

I met my friend Melissa at expo and after going through the queue we headed straight to meet a few of my friends. It was a bit confusing because everything is split into two rooms now… But it means that there are more stalls to buy from tehehe. So for the rest of the day we scoured the stalls and bought lots of goodies! ♡ I did a lot of running around after amazing cosplayers and at one point I actually said to someone, “No please don’t go! I want to take a photo of you!” Sad, I know ^^” Here are some photos!

My Gyaru Life

Kogal at MCM!

June 1, 2014April 16, 2021

Wow, what a week! I finally finished uni and I feel so free and now I feel like doing some cartwheels and leaping through the air. If only I wasn’t so lazy; I’ll just eat some ice cream instead.

I thought it was time to actually get out the house for a bit and went with my boyfriend to MCM Expo! I really wanted to make an effort and even though I didn’t have a cosplay outfit I did manage to purchase this gorgeous dolly pink seifuku from Pixie Bunny. I cannot express how much I love this set! It made me feel all girly and cute.

This was my first time wearing a seifuku so I just had to go with the kogal theme. I spent ages thinking about what hairstyle to do and I didn’t actually decide on everything (makeup, hair etc) until the day. I am so unorganised! I’ll do better next time.

I decided to go with a mixture of sweet/dramatic and thought that my new My Melody bag went so well with it! I really like doing the “sweet” stuff but keeping my eye makeup really dramatic… Maybe I should do it more often?

Once I was finally ready I hopped off to London to Expo with my boyfriend! I was actually bursting with excitement because I was able to meet my friends who I haven’t seen in ages. I hadn’t been wearing gal makeup that much so I guess being able to fully doll up made me feel good too.

Was getting way too excited…

Me & my honey <3333333

Unfortunately I didn’t recognise a lot of the cosplayers there but they were still amazing and I managed to take snaps of my favourite ones! Warning: took quite a fair amount of photos.

Jasmine & Aladdin

Belle – Superdebz Cosplay

Cersei Lannister

Think this might be Harley Quinn?

Haku!

Iron Man – Wheels of Steel

By far one of the best cosplays I’ve ever seen, hands down. Just look at how much attention has been paid to the wheelchair!

Maleficent

SAAAAAAAM!

Sauron! The shoes kind of ruined it though, but he was still pretty cool

Wasn’t too sure who they were cosplaying but they were adorable!
And the girl on the left looked like Pixie tehehehe

Khaleesi!

Yay another person in a seifuku!

After my round of stalking taking photos of amazing cosplays I went off to hunt down my friends and attack them with hugs (tehehe). Uni had taken over my social life so I was so happy to see them all <3

Charli, me & Marie

Charli, Yamii & I

Me & Charli bby! Love this girly <3

Rosanna & Wai-yi of Dreamy Bows!

Laurenn~ I loved her hair accessories

Letitia~

Paulina! She was adorable!

Jojo! This was my first time meeting her, she is so cute

Jessica looking as fabulous as ever. Wish I could pull off “dark” looks ;_;

PIXIE BBY <3

I actually got really drowsy after a while so I didn’t really do much at expo apart from chatting to my friends and then buying some cute stuff (whilst stuffing my face with Japanese sweets). However we did out for dinner after Expo closed with my bby Pixie & her friends and ate gorgeous Korean food! Unfortunately me & my honey had to head home shortly afterwards to catch our train but I still enjoyed myself <3 I miss her so much!

I guess that’s all for now! Sorry I didn’t write much, I’m a bit of a zombie at the moment haha. Hope you have a lovely rest of the weekend! 😀

Baby Come Back

November 3, 2013February 21, 2021

Oui c’est moi, Lizzie, back from her much-deserved break! Eurgh I seriously needed it as the past few weeks have been crazy! I’m so excited to be back not wearing makeup to uni and doing lots of work… Not.

Anyways, today’s post is about my time at MCM Expo! I was working with my bby Pixie at her Pixie Bunny stall and I had so much fun! I met loads of new people despite working behind the stall, and took part in the fashion show representing Agejo-gal. I was so nervous though, so when it was my turn to walk down the ‘catwalk’ I rushed my poses so I could hurry away. How embarrassing ><” Luckily I worked alongside Jada and Rosanna, or I would’ve died in embarrassment.

Here’s me and my lovely Pixie <3

I was also working right behind Charli and Dom who were working at the hentai store and omg she’s got such amazing boobs *_* People couldn’t stop staring at her, and I joked that she’s the reason why they had so many customers hahahaha.

Oh and something really amazing happened. I was serving one of our customers and she looked up at me and exclaimed, “Oh!” I got a bit worried until she asked if I ran a blog called mysticthorn, and told me she was one of my readers >///< I was so happy! It’s such an amazing feeling, and the cutie even asked if she could have a photo so here’s me and her!

Her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/sachiecosplay

I mentioned that I went on the catwalk, didn’t I? And how I was so nervous that I felt like such a fail? Well, here are some photos!

After the catwalk we had some photos taken of us individually and as groups! :3

I absolutely love this photo <3 Me, Jada & Rosanna!

Okay so I’m kind of running out of words so I guess I can let the photos do the talking.

Me wearing one of Pixie Bunny’s rabbit ears! Aren’t they adorable?

Photo from Marie~

A special mention to Svetlana who I finally got to meet after knowing her for seven years!

You could tell I had so much fun by the way that I’m grinning like an idiot in almost all of my photos, d’oh! Oh well…

Look & Outfit

This was my look for the day ~ I woke up super early in order to curl my hair, only for it to die because our darling England seemed to be suffering from a lot of wind & rain this month >_>

Jewellery: MA*RS and Primark
Top: MA*RS
Skirt: MA*RS
Socks: Peacocks
Heels: Dorothy Perkins

I guess that’s all for now! Wow it’s getting cold now isn’t it? So warm up my darlings! Don’t want you all getting ill or anything (like I did the other week ;_;) <3

Love you all! <3

P.S I actually had to cut down on the majority of my photos because there were so many ^^”

Daily Diaries

MCM Expo!

May 27, 2013September 24, 2021

I’m finally able to write this post! I was so tired today that I nearly fell asleep at work… The warm weather didn’t really help things so I was basically a drowsy zombie for the whole day.

Speaking of zombies… I got to meet some! Not real ones obviously (I wouldn’t have written “meet” if they were real… More like running the crap away from them). Basically I went to MCM Expo with my boyfriend this year and in the queue I saw these zombies just walking past and staring blankly at everyone. It was so creepy because their makeup was amazing and they were just really good at acting as zombies.

Here’s me with the zombies:

Yes, I was a maid this year! I wasn’t actually going to cosplay/dress up until someone said that I seemed to be the maid type, and I’m so happy that I did because I really enjoyed being a maid aha. I got asked for a few photos which never happened to me before so yeah I was pretty happy.

My look and outfit shot:

I’m wearing my Fairy Lash Brught Eye lashes that Charli got me from Japan! I’m in love with them already; they are so dramatic and even though they have that plastic-feel to them, they seem to be pretty strong!

Now onto the MCM Expo photos!

CHARLI BBY YOU HAVE AMAZING BEWBS ILU

Me & Tania (photo taken from her FB)

Me & Yamii

Me & Annie

For ages I was searching for Iron Man, and I finally found him when I was starting to lose hope. You can tell how pleased I was from that cheesy grin of mine -_-

I had to say that the villains were pretty badass (or the people cosplaying the villains were anyway). I was taking a photo with Darth Vader and the Emperor, and got pretty like what-the-hell-what when Darth Vader started talking to me with the voice and everything. Was so cool!

“I said kneel!” “sdkjkjdfbgkbfg *cry*”

A “pet” Alien!

I loved this cosplay so much! I’m a huge fan of “How To Train Your Dragon” and was so pleased when I saw Toothless walking around, so I just had to have a photo with him!

Honestly I had so much fun; I met loads of people that I hadn’t seen in ages, and saw Meg – my friend from Ireland – for the first time ever! We have known each other for around 5 years and yesterday was the first time I met her. She was so cute *_* Only wished I could’ve stayed with her for longer <3

And to end this post, a photo of myself and the boyfriend! He said that he might cosplay next time which would be so awesome! 😀
