On Saturday afternoon of the convention the EGL (elegant Gothic
Lolita) tea party began. This though was almost a non-starter those
who did not bring the smartest of clothes with them. This was
because the dress code for the event was not explained prior to the
convention. Luckily though, the hosts were sympathetic towards
our love for cake and let us in. Once we were seated we served
by a full Ouran Host Club, which was very cute and suited the
ambiance of the room with host club music playing in the background. |
The drinks you could choose from was immense, with everything from
teas, coffees, juices to speciality teas. Animetion's
personal favourites was a nice filtered coffee and fairies blood
(raspberry and vanilla flavoured tea). |
Not long after the EGL tea party was the obligatory cosplay masquerade, which consisted of a wide variety of cosplays. Highlights included Yakitate!! Japan and Silent Hill groups, alongside characters from Bleach and Final Fantasy. The masquerade was skit-free as all skits were separately in the 'Auchimake' the following day. Alongside the masquerade there was also a photshoot were cosplayers could have a professional picture taken. As always, the masquerade was a convention highlight and did not have one bad costume in it. |
