Uppcon 11

Alright, so I'm a bit late but here are all the pictures from Uppcon~ Finally.

Honestly I forgot to bring out my camera most of the time so only about a handful of these pictures are actually mine. I was simply too distracted by hats and concerts and fashionshows and things to make a real effort to document the weekend myself.

Anyway~ Uppcon 11 was pretty fun, I must admit. Like all conventions it's a lot more fun when you have friends with you and I had Tomas as well a number of other people I know come and keep me company at my table in the Artist's Alley. There were also times when I was bored out of my mind since they kept closing off the sixth floor (the one that the Artist's Alley was on) and there was practically no one coming by my table, but I still had the other Artists to talk to so I survived.

There were some major gaps in Uppcon's planning of the Artist's Alley's location among other things but all in all it went pretty well for me. I sold hats and accessories for about 2500kr (250 Euros) and I also sold some clothing down at the Visitor's Sales table that brought in another 900kr.

Other than sitting at my table and trying to sell things I went to two concerts, Versailles and Olivia. Both were really great and it was so nice to get to see them live. Versailles, of course, I have seen once before, but Olivia was the first time.

Like I've mentioned in an earlier post I also got to walk in the Fashionshow. It took place on Sunday morning and I was stressed out like you wouldn't believe trying to get ready and go from Stockholm to Uppsala in order to get there in time for the rehearsal but in the end it went really well. It was a lot of fun, despite all the nervousness and stress and all the models looked fabulous! However, if I am to walk in a similar fashionshow at another Uppcon I really hope that they put it on another time. 10am on a Sunday isn't really the ideal. Most of the guests at the convention weren't even awake at that time!

Alright, enough of my babbling~ Here comes the pictures!

Since Versailles played on Friday I decided to wear my golden ballgown~

Here I am sweaty and tired at the end of the day. It was SO BLOODY HOT!

And here's me at my Sales table on Saturday.







These guys were nice enough to keep me company a lot during Sunday after the Fashionshow. After a lot of complaints the Artists from the Artist's Alley were finally allowed to move their tables to a more accessible floor of the convention. A lot more people came by my table down on the third floor but I must say I liked the view better from the sixth floor.

I got to babysit my friend's doll for a while. This is Solque, a character from our epic fantasy Roleplay~ He's an elven High Priest and!

Kaoru also got to stand at my table and on Sunday she even got to borrow one of my hats!

And last but not least.... Here are some pictures from the fashionshow~

Paris - Day Three

On our way to Versailles...

Victoria

Yuki, Michael and Me

I am too tired to write a lot of text right now so you will have to settle for looking at some of the pictures I took.

Handsome Yuki at the Castle

In the Hall of Mirrors







Out in the Gardens...





I bought Yuki his very own tea set!



Dress: Innocent World
Socks: Moi-même-Moitié
Bag: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Everything else: Offbrand




Dress: Victorian Maiden
Blouse: Alice and the Pirates
Small Hairbows: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Everything else: Offbrand


We had a nice time there, but it was all very hot and tiring! I was absolutely exhausted when we got back to the hotel... and to make the whole thing worse, the air conditioning wasn't working! But they fixed it today, thankfully.

Paris~

Paris, here I come!

I got out of bed at four in the morning; can you believe that? :O



Kim sat in Emiru's knee the entire flight while my poor Yuki was still packed in his Carrier Bag, lying on the floor of the cabin.
Anyway, when we finally arrived in Paris and had checked in at our hotels and everything, Emiru and I went to Versailles with these nice people below.


I do not remember any names but they made such a cute couple!

Our lovely translator, Misa (?)

Emiru

Me!
And for the record... that outfit was slowly killing me! It was 30+ degrees in the shade and I was smart enough to wear one of my hottest dresses. With a bonnet too. >.>

Day two was dedicated to shopping! I had saved up my money for months and now was the time to spend it. Even though I went to both Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and Harajuku, I ended up only buying things from Baby since they had a lot of things there that I was been looking at for ages on their website.


As always, the clerk was incredibly nice and he even went to fetch me something to drink when I was starting to get affected by the unforgiving summer heat. To thank him, or possibly just to make myself feel better, I bought things for over 400 euros!
The largest Baby bag I have ever gotten while shopping here in Paris!

I really needed a new pair of shoes, so these ones were the perfect choice!



And I do not care if people call this too shiny. I love this dress anyway!



I got a whole new AatP bag just to carry Yuki in. :) I think the gentleman working in the shop might have noticed how tired (and WARM!) I was.


Have I ever told you how much I love Paris? :D
