Cosplay - ET8 plans

Hey guys!

This is my post just to let you know what cosplays I'm planning to do for ET8! ;D

So, here's the plan.

Friday Daytime - Alice Cullen - New Moon, Birthday Party
 I want to do this one, just because all except ET6, I have worn this dress on the Friday. I have other plans for the party, so I'll be wandering around the hotel in this dress pretty much as soon as I arrive, and then for the opening ceremony. I love this outfit, it's just the dress, necklace and shoes, then done! But I have no idea if the shoes are accurate, they're just small heels. :)

Friday night - Alice Cullen, Breaking Dawn Part 1 Promo

I have no pictures of this outfit as of yet. I was going to do Breaking Dawn Part 2 as the rest of the Cullens were doing this, but annoyingly I've been unable to find a leather jacket similar to Alice's. I've decided to do Breaking Dawn Part 1 as that will fit in anyway, and it is easier to do. I couldn't find a cardigan similar enough to the D&G one, so I've got a jumper, and I'm going to add the ribbon trimming and the buttons to make it similar. I already own a similar skirt and tights. As for the shoes, I'll probably go with my small black heels.


Saturday/Sunday Daytime

I haven't decided on what I'm doing what day for the daytimes, but  I'll definitely be doing the following!

Alice Cullen - New Moon Blue Coat
I just LOVE this outfit.It's one of my favourite outfits! :) It's probably one of the most recogniseable but also most expensive costumes I have. It cost a lot to have the coat custom made, and the gloves and scarf were reasonably pricey. The scarf even had a customs charge on it! I'll probably, hopefully be having photoshoots on both days so I shouldn't have to pick my favourite outfit to have photos in (but it'll most likely be baseball!)

Twilight baseball 
 This has always been one of the top things on my cosplay wish list. It's just such an iconic Alice costume. And FINALLY I'm going to do it! :D This is is so far, just the jersey is being done so far. I have the cap and socks at home, and my friend is very kindly selling me her baseball undershirt! So exciting :D

 New Moon Volterra.
This is literally going to be a change in and out five second cosplay. Don't get too excited ;D For my photo with Daniel Cudmore, and any other Volturi member that attends, I shall be wearing this for that. That is all. :P

Saturday Night - Alice Cullen, Breaking Dawn Wedding
I'm so excited about this one! :) I'm nearly done making this, and I'm going to be doing this with the other Cullens on Saturday night :) There'll be two Alices...double the awesome ;)


Sunday Night - Ashley Greene, MTV Movie Awards 2009
 The time has finally come! I'm finally cosplaying as Ashley Greene herself! :) I'm doing this along with my friends Sam and Gemma who will be dressing as Rob and Kristen, and hopefully Paul will be Kellan! :D


This is pretty much definite...so YAY! Can't wait for the themes, the tickets to be sent and for the schedule! eeepp!

Collectormania 18

Hello my darlings!

So, I've decided to do a round up of cool things I have got up to since leaving my blog for too long.

This post is about Collectormania 18.

Collectormania is probably one of the closest conventions to me, as it's nearish to Aylesbury and I'm also nearish to Aylesbury. Glad we got that out of the way.

Anyway, the original plan was to only go to Collectormania for the Sunday, but us being awesome we went down for both. That was because my friend Izzy was boogying on over to MK on the Saturday, so I purposely booked my photoshoot with Amandla Stenburg (Rue from the Hunger Games, and the darn cutest kid ever) on the Saturday for an excuse to go see McFizz.

So we ambled over to MK in our car, and our first obstacle was to find a parking space. Let me just point out that the MK Dons Stadium usually has convenient spacious parking. I say usually because the buggers decided to DIG UP HALF THE CAR PARK that weekend. Thanks MK peoples. We really love you.
After gallivanting over to Asda next door, where we naughtily parked our car (them folk don't seem to like us convention goers on their lan'), we had a parking space for the next 2 or 3 hours before we'd have to move.

Is it weird that on a weapons stall, with guns and that stuff, I bought Alice's breaking dawn necklace? I think it's hilarious.

After walking around and around and around and around and around that bloody arena (honestly, there's not much else to do except get yourself killed in the dealers room from the crowding), we met up with McFizz for a bit, and then got McDonalds. Not with McFizz, we just went to get lunch after a quick natter.
We went to move the car to the Ikea car park, then went on over to get my pic with Amandla. Fair to say I looked like an idiot when telling her she's cute.

After all that excitement, we drove (and very quickly got lost in the Milton Keyneian roads) to the Shopping Centre to go see my darling girl Ashley Greene in her film "LOL" also starring Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore and this gorgeous dude by the name of Douglas Booth. And the guy that plays Ashley's (Ashley's character name is Ashley...AHAHAHAHH) boyfriend. But he's not very attractive. And he calls everyone a ho, whore and slut. So he's just not very nice.

After that brief and probably inaccurate account of the first day (well, I am listening to Rathbone singing, and his voice does make me doolally), here are some photos:

Rockin' my Breaking Dawn Necklace..in an outfit from Twilight.. :P

Myself and THE Izzel McFizzel

Chief Swan? You there?

At the Odeon... joining my Ice Age buddies.

Looking excessively pleased with myself standing by the LOL poster.. :)

Myself and the adorable Amandla Stenburg :')


Sunday I met Hannah Spearitt and Andrew Lee Potts. Both were really nice, despite seeing them for like a couple seconds for a photo! Andrew was wearing a trilby (drool), and Hannah's hair looked really nice! I also met Natalia Tena, who plays Tonks in Harry Potter, for a photoshoot. I met her last year at LFCC but didn't get a photo, but I decided to get one this time. She always has nice conversations with everyone, and she sure did love Bert the Hippo (I was dressed as Abby this time!). In her words, "It's all about the fucking hippo" ;)

The rest of the day was spent wandering around the stadium, meeting other cosplayers and stalking the beautiful Brandon Routh. We had no idea who he was...but he was hot.. ahahah XD

With an AMAZING Connor Temple Cosplayer!

Cap'n Jack! :)

Natalia Loving Bert :P

Me and Hannah and Andrew (I think Hannah's a bit amused by the freak next to her.. :P )

Abby Sciuto in Asda...completely normal, right?

The Robsten Rumours - My Thoughts

First of all, I'd like to say two things:

1. My catch up posts (about Collectormania etc) are coming soon.
2. This is just my take on the situation, it doesn't mean I'm right. Please don't bash for my views.


So if you're unaware of the situation, this is the round up:

Rumours began to circulate that Kristen cheated on Rob with the director of Snow White and the Hunstman, Rupert Sanders. This was soon followed by photos, that have been accused of being faked for publicity. To add to this drama, Kristen allegedly released a statement apologising to Rob and everyone (but notably not Liberty Ross, Rupert Sanders' wife). People also claimed that Liberty had confirmed that the photos were a hoax and they were in fact her, although people soon said this was never said. Rupert Sanders also supposedly released a statement.


My first thoughts were, "Jeez, RUMOURS! GET OVER IT PEOPLE!" like I usually do, but this is normally a bad move. Just from experience, the following rumours I have brushed off as untrue have quickly proved to be true:
-Ashley dating Joe Jonas
-Ashley dating Reeve Carney
-Jackson's girlfriend having a baby.





As for Jackson, I'm not sure how I decided it was true. I think I just thought "meh." and went along with it. Then Jackson's friend Shannon (who has a blog about baby fashion and cool stuffs. You should check it out, it's pretty cool. www.pooppeepuke.com The lady's baby is Jackson's Goddaughter! :) ) answered someone's question about if it was true, and she said yes, but then soon after the rumours began, Jackson himself tweeted about it :)


Oh, before I forget...

CONGRATULATIONS JACKSON&SHEILA!

Now that's out of the way...on with my take on this frankly sad situation.


I've read that statement that's apparently from Kristen. And I'm not alone when I say this:
THAT SHIT IS NOT KRISTEN STEWART!

This is her """"statement""""
 
 "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

Kristen isn't one to be suddenly proclaiming "I love him, I love him. I love Rob." She's said so many times how she wouldn't talk about a relationship, whats so different now?
Another thing - she's said previously that she doesn't understand why anyone would cheat! Surely that's something to think about. I don't think she's the kind of person to think "Cheating is just unacceptable...but I can still do it because I'm famous." because that's darn stupid anyway - if you're famous and you cheat, it'll be held with your name, always linked to you, may become the thing you're most famous for. It's not something that becomes acceptable with fame. It makes it a whole lot worse.

As for the photo's, I'm not really sure, I haven't looked at them in detail, but some people have found pictures of Kristen that could have been superimposed onto the photos. That part I'm not sure about at all. The same with Rupert's supposed statement. I'm not sure, I don't know if he's the kind to speak out about it.


Another twist to the tale is that now people are saying that someone has admitted that the statement WASN'T from Kristen, and was made up by someone else. I haven't seen this confirmed by a reliable source, but I don't see a magazine releasing a statement is exactly reliable. I will only believe that the rumours are true if Kristen herself stood in front of a camera and said "Yes, I did it" in her own voice, not dubbed over by a voice impersonator or manipulated to look like she admitted it. A raw piece of footage of her admitting her wrongs. Though obviously filming an apology is a lot more humiliating than simply writing one, but unfortunately with so many posers and things these days - our only REAL reliable sources are through word of mouth, either face to face or an unedited video. Most things you read on the internet have inaccuracies.

If this is true, it will be really sad. I'd never expect this from Kristen and I'd feel bad for Rob, as they have a sweet relationship from what is witnessed. I'd also feel bad for Liberty Ross and her and Rupert's two children, it's horrible to have kids stuck in the middle of things like this.

Anyway, that's my view. Disagree if you want but no one knows the truth yet.

I would have made a video about it, but I'm at my Dad's so I can't make one. 


Anyway, I hope this is rectified soon. Even if it's false, poor Kristen has had so much shit thrown at her for it! Rumours are terrible things.
