Trolling the Bookfair

October is bookfair time in Frankfurt!

The Frankfurt Bookfair has a  big hall for Cosplayers, the Cosplay Corner, where the DCM (German Cosplay Championship) is held. There are lots of merch boths, workshops and events held in the CC on bookfair Saturday and Sunday. You can also find merch boths and Comic/Manga stuff in hall 3.0 alongside Fantasy and Children books~ so those are my favourite places to go ;)

We had the lovely Ilka from Kiomi MakeUp at our both from myCostumes again and she did such a great Troll-MakeUp on me! I love it!

This years guest of honor was Finland and I had to check out their exhibition hall.

Sadly I have to say that it was quite disappointing :/ 

But since Icelands presentation two years ago my expectations have been very high.

 

Nonetheless I enjoyed the Finland hall!

Lot's of books to take a look at, a childrens corner with Finish cartoons and freaky stuffed animals and the "Suomi Café"! I enjoyed a tasty Lihariisipiirakka there :)

Loved to eat these when I was in Helsinki in February this year~ nom ♥ 

We also went to the international book hall and spend a lot of time at all the Scandinavian boths. We got a bottle of Icelandic water and found a lot of cool books at the Swedish both :D It's cool how much I am able to understand in the Swedish books. Maybe I should continue my Swedish classes? o.o

At the booth of Karfunkel (a medieval magazine) we bought 4 magazines. I just wanted to rebuy the Special about Vikings because it is really good and my old one went missing 2 years ago but the we also bought 3 just about cooking... XD *cough*

Operation woodtroll

Trolling around again? Hell yes!

My hun and I decided to visit this years Role Play Convention as some fancy green Woodtrolls. 

It was the first RPC for both of us and we were pretty excited (I wanted to visit the RPC for a few years now but oh well...)! MyCostumes got a vending booth there as always and since I have to work in our store on Saturdays my hun and I took the Sunday to visit the RPC.

The lovely Ilka from Kiomi MakeUp (wich we sell in our store) was part of our booth there and was doing professional MakeUp's live at the booth. So she did the makeUp for my hun and me :)

We walked around as walking acts then for myCostumes and Kiomi, met some old and new friends and had lot's of fun.

The booth of Defcon Unlimited was amazing! They had a small presentation booth to show some of their costumes and a show reel of what they do and also were involved in the big Assassins Tavern that was build there to promote Assassins Creed! They had little stuntshows in the Tavern and a big one at the big stage :D I so love their stuntshows! Also had a lovely talk with Lightning Cosplay wich is now part of Defcon Unlimited. She's such a pretty, talanted, lovely and kind girl! Go like her page and give her some love!

I also loved the camp of the Wasteland Warriors and Megabosh :)

Discovered them first at Wacken last year. The camp there was so much cooler and authentic with all the dirt and mud of the festival side but they always are a feast to the eyes and ears! Pretty girls and boys, awesome modded cars and bikes and the crazy songs of Megabosh when they got to play a few songs. Awesome! I heard they will be at Wacken this year too and I'm already really excited. Also got a cool poster at the show at the RPC.

The Role Play Convention provides (as they name already tells us) lot's of booth's to roleplaying "games" of any kind. LARPing, Pen&Paper, Tabletop, MMO's, RPG's and everything that goes with it. So there were vending booth's were you could buy dices. Just dices in aaaaaany kind and color you could think of D:
Also clothing, LARP weapons, games, merch, medieval stuff, Nerf guns and so on and so on...
Outside of the fair halls was a lovely medieval marked with booths and stages, many bands played there. Just have a look at the programm and you will understand!

Also here is a stunning documentary made by a friend :) Sadly it's only German atm~

Trinken Troll!

I spent the Halloween evening in the lovely decorated Final Destination Club  with all my lovelies! Sadly we totally forgot to take a group shot Q___Q But it was sooo awesome! Lovely drinks and awesome music~ Caught myself a handsome troll boy :)

 

What a lovely and chaotic night it was! Thank you everyone for making it so awesome!

Pretty Finnish boys everywhere!

Went to see Finntroll with friends of mine~ with a tiny bit o warpaint :D
They started earlier then expected, so we sadly missed Skalmöld. Tyr was really cool! Didn't see them live before and my ex always said he wouldn't liek them so I only knew a few songs from them. But I really liked it!!! :D

Finntroll itself was so cool! They even got their troll-ears on! And Mikael's ears flap when he's headbanging.... whooo~ *_* lot's of troll-love! And to Mathias and Samuli I just can say: NOOOMNOMNOM! I want those for my birthday! Those two and Mathias and Jussi from Turisas XD ...

But I could really slap myself! I'm a bit sick and therefore wasn't as loud and crazy as I used to be on concerts... was standing somewhere in the middel watching the guys in the moshpit with a smile :) Mathias was at the merchandise both... and I...stupid thing... didn't take a pic with him x___x why!?! *headdesk*

TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!

...or behind the vending booth :D

This weekend we headed over to the Connichi in Kassel. We packed the cars on Thursday evening and drove over to my boss' place where we cooked a lovely dinner together and had a great evening. Early in the morning on Friday we drove to Kassel and built up our enormous merch stand. 

I love being behind the stand at conventions. You meet a lot of new people and even people you know. There are plenty opportunities to chat with them (if it's not too crowded) and it really is a lot of fun even if it's sometimes really stressfull. Most of the time when there's a convention I stay at home and run the store. So I just went to 3 Con's this year. I always went to the Connichi when I was into cosplaying a lot more myself so it was the first thing for me to say "Uuuh I want to come with you!" But I was so busy selling stuff that I didn't took even one round through the con. I just went away for a while on Saturday because I was needed at the catwalk for our Lolita Fashion show and at the Lolita panel we held...

But all in all I had a lot of fun there. It's always great on conventions with the party-Team! We spend the evenings together and go out for dinner wich I really enjoy.

On Sunday I decided on trolling everyone! With the help of Mari I painted myself all blue, put on some trollish ears and that amazing wig Nathalie made for me and transformed myself into a Finntroll - appreciation troll XD (well... yeah... WoW troll with Finntroll shirt! wayhey!) I tagged the pics to Mathias and Mikael on Instagramm   as well as to Sami on Facebook~ but didn't get any response from them :/

I didn't had the time to redress~ so I packed our stuff together, drove home, put everything back in the store and then drove home via train all on my own... still as troll. I think i got some fans now o.o One guy in the train was like: "Uhhh what are you?" Me: "I'm a Troll :D" He: "Cool! I never met a troll!"

...lol
