My very brief time on the EXPO stage! |
My dad looking very bored |
This time Tasha didn't come with us, but Sophie caught the EXPO fever after the first time. We also had a new addition to our EXPO crew called Lauren who was Sophie's friend.
I dressed up as Tuxedo Kamen from Sailor Moon. I had short hair at the time, so I thought I could get away with being a male character. I already had a cape and the gloves from other dress ups I'd done and I just wore my school uniform and bought a hat and mask.

While I was there I found a gothic lolita dress for £60. I couldn't try it on, and it was a lot of money but I just went for it! When I got home, I tried it on and it was the perfect fit! I was sooo happy :)
I went on the EXPO stage in my costume. I wasn't expecting to win or anything, but it was my first time on stage and it was a lot of fun. I got into some really great conversations behind the stage and saw some amazing costumes. It felt like I was on the stage for ages, and I was trying to take my time. It turns out all that was in my head and I was on and off stage within 12 seconds. I know this because we filmed it and I shot on and off stage so quick! At least I learnt from that mistake!
I don't remember much from the day. I do remember finding someone who was dressed up as Sailor Chibi Moon. She ran up to me and called me 'daddy', which has become a good EXPO story to tell.
