Harley Does Momocon 2014

As some of you may know, I recently attended a convention in Atlanta called Momocon. It was an absolute blast, and I debuted my newest cosplay, Reese from Animal Crossing: Newleaf! I had such a good time, but I stayed pretty homesick throughout the entire event. I just wanted to share a few photos with you all, if you were interested.

The first day, I wandered around in my Reese costume.  I only took a few pictures this day, because I was anxious to get changed into my second costume.

I realized that I don't really handle being "cute" well. I much prefer being sassy, causing mild havoc, and making faces at strangers. So I Harley'd.

After getting dressed, and a cup of subpar coffee, I brought Harley Quinn downstairs. There were so many kind, and excited people! I truly love taking photos with people, and hearing them say "nice costume", or "you're a great Harley", really makes my day.  Here's a look at some of the people I met!

Scandalous photo with my roommate, who made an awesome Kiri-dope. HA

Space Dandy touched me and I amost pee'd myself

of all the items on my bucket list, I never thought a selfie with Wesker would be one of them I'd check off.

PHENOMENAL Bumble Bee and Raven!

One Piece~

He let me touch his boob.

My body language is fucked but I choked the hell outta this guy

GARRUS UGH

This guy and his wife and friends were definitely some of the best/funniest people I've ever met.  LOVE YOU GUYS 

Harley loves the little ones, too!

The last photo was one of my favorites. She was so kind, and polite. She told me that going to Momocon was a birthday gift from her grandparents.  She even got the Animaniacs to sign one of her books. Talking with her brightened up my day. She told me she was having a great time, and that she was so grateful to her grandparents for bringing her. Her happiness was absolutely contagious. It was truly a pleasure to meet this cutie!

Then, after talking with an amazing Superman (not pictured), my fiance and I found our way to the DC shoot! Lotsa' amazing costumes here! (I was roastin' in that jumpsuit, though. SHEESH.) Click the pictures for a closer look! Everyone had awesome costumes.

I wish I'd gotten more photos, but here's to hoping I'll actually bring a decent camera next time! I'll close out with some additional pictures we took in the hotel room/some selfies. 

That's all for now! Thanks for readin', lookin', or just poppin' in. If you see any more pictures of me, please let me know! I'm vain, and like to see myself. :3 I hope to see you all at Anime Weekend Atlanta this year! 

★ Home For The Weekend + OOTD ★

Hello everyone. Today's post is about a Storenvy called "Home for the Weekend". Home For The Weekend is especially high on my favorites list, because it specializes in unique, geeky items that truly cannot be replicated. The shop sells vintage/thrifted items, as well as handmade shirts, sweaters, and a variety of accessories (garters, collars, and goggles). I was sent the "white haired anime boys" tee, and the "drip-drop" goggles. I've put some links for you down below.

Shipping:

★★★★★/5

From Maryland, the package took only 3 days to arrive at my house. For custom made items, I expected it to take much longer!  The items were mailed in a sturdy plastic bag, the outside had adorable some deco tape around it. Inside, my items were neatly and compactly placed together, covered in protective white sheets. I didn't take any photos of the internal wrapping because in my excitement, I shredded the paper... Andie sent my goggles, "White Haired Anime Boys" top,  a card with a returning buyer's discount code, and threw in some of extra stickers! (I immediately put them on my laptop.)

Communication:

★★★★★/5

Andie was super pleasant throughout the entire exchange. She very kindly answered every question that I had. She's very helpful! Be sure to ask her if you have any questions about caring for your items. (She recommends washing your tops inside out, and letting them line dry.)

Quality:

★★★★★/5

I asked for a Medium in the "White Haired Anime Boys" shirt, because normally my height and shoulders would require the extra length. After unpacking it,  I thought it was going to swallow me. I thought I'd made a mistake in asking for a medium. However, once I actually tried it on, it fit a lot better than I'd originally imagined! It's still a bit long, but I can wear it with cute leggings, or tuck it in to a pair of high waist shorts (as you can see from the photos). If you're shorter than me, (I'm 5'9) I'd recommend sizing down, because the sizes run a bit big.

Details:

★★★★★/5
The text on the top seems sturdy enough, but I'd suggest turning your top inside out before washing, just in case. A little extra precaution never hurts, right? The font is adorable; I love how the pink highlights the light blue. The goggles were hand made, and hand painted. You can ask for a different color for the drips, but I went with the sky blue shade that is shown on the stock photo. It's beautiful and bright. The Drip-Drop Goggles are definitely a conversation starter. 

Comfort:
★★★★★/5
The shirt is pretty lightweight, and isn't confining at all. I can move freely around without my shoulders popping seams. The goggles are incredibly comfortable as well. The insides (parts against your face, not sure of the correct term) is padded with soft material, and the band is completely adjustable. I like wearing them as a hair band, or around my neck. The padding inside actually helps hold them in place on my head. These goggles make me feel prepared to repair some mechs. 

Overall:

★★★★★/5

If you're searching for that one piece that will bring your outfit together, or maybe you just want something to let your nerd pride shine, I'd definitely head on over to Home For The Weekend. The store sells great quality, one-of-a-kind items, the owner is extremely pleasant, and offers quick shipping. If you happen to buy anything, tell Andie that Kamie sent ya'!
