      masquerade highlights!!! from what i saw... favorite skits... besides my own of course ^^;;;



      • sara's angelic layer... eeee!!! ^__^ she knows the jyan ken pon dance!!! *glomps*
      • dewprism! so cute!!! *___* this was the cutest skit of the night!
      • sexy commando! hehehehe lol! this was too awesomely random!
      • dynasty warriors! kakkoi ^^; in mika's words... "super cool!"

        ... and i didn't see many other skits... i watched it on al's camera at sizzler... but wayne and i had to catch our flights... so no more watching ;_; *waves to al* ^^;;; i want a copy!!!

        but i seriously loved our angelic layer skit!!! annie made the most super cute misaki-chi!!! henry was a cool arrogant oujirou! and wayne looked awesome with his broad shoulder action! ^_^v i wish i could have had a sewing machine and right color blue for the misaki outfit... but it still came out ok with navy and gold instead of blue and yellow ^_^ heheheh... i'm almost tempted to re-sew the entire thing again... >_> hmmm... maybe i'll make a new one just for the heck... no con until recca-con, and i doubt any new costumes by then... hehehehe *plots*

        let's peace peace! *does the peace sign* this was so much fun! so much rehearsals... but i seriously love you girls! it was so much fun!!! i can't wait until next time!!! hehehe ^^; and maybe all our costumes will be done before the convention so we can have even more time for practicing! *huggles* and thanks to wayne-sama for being our most wonderful tsunku!!! "let's singing and let's dancing, but most of all, let's peace peace!"

      gripes


      • sooo cold! ;_; i wished that friday and saturday were a bit warmer... at least sunday was sunny for pictures ^_^
      • o_o i forgot my pajamas and extra socks
      • >_< my glue gun sucks
      • some of the judging at the masquerade... but oh well ^^; i thought some other skits would have won...
      • not bringing normal shoes ^^; at least i brought slippers and my feiyue's
      • denny's has horrible service o_o
      • the hotel didn't give allie her wake-up call sunday morning o_o

        overall comments i loved this con!!! friday was spent mostly rehearsing for "the peace"... but i love the usa musume girls!!! *huggles all of them* they're all so wonderful! tiff did such a great job with the choreography and keeping everyone together! and wayne is such a great supporting producing tsunku!!!

        the masquerade was so much fun! i seriously haven't had that much fun competing in a nice skit-wise skit. and our costumes were so cute!!! as i said... annie made the cutest misaki-chi!!! *loves the part when henry tries to glomp her and she runs away* ^___^ eeee!!! sooo cute!!! i loved our skit!!! "sexy beam!!!" seriously... when i saw wayne-sama walk out on stage i just thought "wow! wayne looks so cool and broad-shouldered!" hehehehe =D

        i seriously cannot wait until next year. this con was a good way to start off the year! ^___^v

        ok... before i get more repetitive... ^^;;; i end this!!! *note* any pictures up here were not taken by me ^^;;; but there aren't any pictures yet... so =p
