Description A new comiccon, a second chance for my Nina Hopkins cosplay, yay!
And I had problems just like it happened the first time I tried to cosplay like her. The bad cosplay day curse continues! Hurrah.  
-I carried my glasses this time, yay! But my fluffy curled ponytail deflated too soon in that super cold and wet day, dammit! Why??? I need to re-evaluate my haircare products, my hair is too flat and fine to hold the curl.
-When I washed my waistcoat the ruffles were all messed up and of course I couldn't iron them... and the woman who sold me when I started customizing it said the ruffles would hold the washing machine. Guess what? It wasn't true, so I had to buy other ruffles and sew them back on the waistcoat. Off to a great start.
-I decided to cosplay like Black Butler characters in a Harry Potter gathering, because it was in a very cool and ancient looking location, so there was almost 0% chances to see others of my same fandom... but my friend graciously decided to cosplay like Sebastian for that occasion to help me so this isn't a big drawback.
-As soon as I started taking photos with my friend we got an annoying person asking us if we had an authorization to take photos. THE FUCK? That Harry Potter themed comiccon always allowed to take pictures so I was pissed off right off the bat (like you just pull my chain, not nice) and on their website this new rule didn't appear, so who the hell are you to tell me what to do?!? Then than person 'allowed' us to take pictures of each other (like a king who gives a permission to us commoners, such a big gift thank you!) but we couldn't take photos of strangers and similar.
You know what? That's fine, I already don't post (for my choice) underage cosplayers when I can, but if you annoy me like that I'm not going to post anything at all. Your loss, not mine! And now get the fuck off and let me live!
No jokes guys, I'm still bitter even after months. The whole point of a comic convention with cosplayers in it is TO HAVE PICTURES OF YOURSELF TAKEN. And you don't allow it?!? I'm not making any money out of these pictures, they are just for passion!
By the way I was so bitter and annoyed the fun was already over for me, and we barely started. Hats off to my friend who did her best to cheer me up, but I was really pissed off.
Since I couldn't take other people's photos be ready for some more shots of me.  So unluckily you won't see other cosplayers but me and my friend in this location, and it wasn't by my choice.

Oh cool! If you do please warn me and link me with photos, I'm curious! I'm always down to see more cosplayers efforts.

They are just so funny together! XD
Oh honey, that would be so cool, I always look for cosplayers to pair my costumes with. The problem is that I cosplay only in Italy and not even for all the events. T.T

Oh that would be cool! 0.o
I cosplay a lot (I have been Nina just twice though). When you plan your holidays in my country just warn me in the notes, and I'll tell you what events could be in that period of time. I don't go to super big events like Lucca or Romics (Rome comics) though because that's a real nutcage, it's easy to have your costume ruined in that madness.

Thank you, I was that lucky to find a booth for alternative clothing at that Harry Potter gathering, so I took advantage of it.

Did you check online to see if there are any conventions in your city or nearby it? I started going there when I was older than 20, but if you know how to move with trains and similar you can do it as well without spending too much.
