PHOENIX COMICON 2016 - SUNDAY

Sunday was a pretty slow day. After the events of Saturday, I slept in SUPER late, which was much needed. I wore Kaylee for the relaxed day, and spent some time with friends at Starbucks and then more photos inside the convention. I love getting good photos of my cosplays and I’m so grateful for my amazingly talented friends <3 Most of the day was spent wandering the convention floor.

PHOENIX COMICON 2016 - SATURDAY

Oh my god. How do I even BEGIN to describe Saturday of Phoenix Comicon this year. Talk about one of the best days of my life.

My boyfriend and I got up and got changed into the Doctor and Rose to prepare for the big day, i.e., MEETING BILLIE PIPER OH MY GOD?!?!?!? We barely made it to the photos on time while finding our Donna and Martha, but before long, we were well on our way to the front. I swear the moment I saw Billie I actually just started crying uncontrollably. I was super lucky - I had a photo of just myself and her, and then our whole group as well. She said it was “like looking in a mirror” and gave me a huge hug, which was. Just. I can’t even believe that was real oh my god. I sobbed for a good 10 minutes after that.

We all went over to the TARDIS to say hi to all our friends and get some photos, and then back over to Billie Piper’s autograph line so my other Rose could get her photo signed. I figured that it was a great way to be able to say hi to her again, but while we were waiting, we noticed Alex Kingston’s line was RIDICULOUSLY short. My boyfriend promptly dropped the money to get an autograph, and as we left, she told him “I just. I can’t get over it, you look like bloody David!!!” which left us both speechless, coming from HER of all people. 

Another day another panel though! We SPRINTED across the convention to get to our Moffat Era of Doctor Who discussion panel, which went really well. There was SO much to discuss in so little time, but I had a lot of fun. 

After that, we got some photos taken of our cosplays from Bishi Bird, the ever amazing dweeb. I got wayyyyy too hungry though, so then we all went to get pizza across the street. We all rested up, got changed, and then went to the Blue Ribbon Army party. Plenty of dancing and good fun, and I finally got to properly meet the amazing River Song cosplayer I had seen earlier that day. Drag queens are literally queens and should be worshipped as such ouo 

PHOENIX COMICON 2016 - FRIDAY

Well, technically speaking we arrived on Thursday :) Thursday, however, was spent entirely eating In N Out, getting checked into the hotel, and spending a bit of time with friends out of costume. 

Saturday morning I put on Yang Xiao Long for the first time!! This was the first costume I truly made from scratch in well over a year, and I’m so incredibly proud of how it turned out. I wandered around the vendor hall for a few hours with some of my best friends. I was very lucky to have a photo shoot with Not So Rachel photography, who took some INCREDIBLE photos of my cosplay and was worth every single minute in the heat <3 Those are on my main blog though!  Even luckier, when we came back inside, I stumbled upon the RWBY gathering and my Ruby, who I had been looking for all day. In true sister fashion, we literally tackle-hugged each other to the floor, and it was kind of really glorious. We all went up to the vendor hall and went to meet Arryn Zech, the voice of Blake, and she thought our cosplays looked amazing and we got to chat for a really long time, which was definitely exciting!! She was an absolute sweetheart and I hope I can meet her again someday. After that, we got a few photos of our little RWBY group, and I had a chance to meet YorkInABox, who’s photography I greatly admire.

HOWEVER! This was one of those multiple cosplay days, so my boyfriend and I rushed back to the hotel to change into Kilgrave and Trish Walker for our Jessica Jones panel. For a panel that we honestly barely prepared for, the turnout was stunning, and the discussion was even better. I could not have been more pleased with the way the panel went and how much audience interaction we got. Definitely need to consider running that one again.

After that, my Jessica Jones group did a quick photo shoot inside the con center, and then in an alley with Geek News Network. I can’t wait to see how they come out!! One of the photos I took inside the con center actually got noticed by the official Jessica Jones page, so that was INCREDIBLY satisfying. 

Daniel Bryan does not like K-Pop.

He knows what J-Pop is.

I told him that now that he knows of K-Pop, it will invade his life. 

He said that he doesn’t believe it will.
