CPAC 2015

This is Trafalgar Law ^

It's become a tradition for my friend Wendy and me to go to CPAC (Castle Point Anime Convention). This year they held it on Sunday March 29th. Every year Wendy and I say we'd try and dress up for it, but we always run out of time to put something together. This year, to follow her Trafalgar Law theme from the anime One Piece, I made a shirt to look like Trafalgar's shirt for Wendy's birthday gift. I made her a cake with that character, I figured since she already has his hat, why not make her a shirt that way she'll have somewhat of a makeshift costume of her favorite character.

I found a scoop neck dress from Forever 21 that matched the color of his shirt. (photo on the left) Here's a picture of what the dress looked like after I added the final touches. (right)

She wore a long sleeve black top underneath the dress. She looked adorable! She had one guy at the convention come up to her and asked her for a picture. The guy was cosplaying as Luffy, another character from One Piece. Just as we were about to leave, another guy ended up approaching her and complimenting her outfit. It was nice to know that other people from the convention were able to recognize who she was cosplaying as. 

I also met up with a good friend of mine, Sal, at CPAC. Sal and I go way back, we use to work at the same bakery! We spent a few hours walking around the Dealer's Room and Artist's Alley. That's where the attendees get to shop to their hearts content. We all bought so much from the convention. CPAC is always held on the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Here are some of the things I got from CPAC this year. There was one other item that I bought, but I'm not going to post it here on the blog, because it's going to be a Christmas gift that I intend to give to a friend. Just in case that person reads the post, wouldn't want to spoil the gift. And yes, I do buy and plan Christmas gifts WAYYY in advance. I got two posters, one from my favorite TV series, Supernatural and Big Hero 6. And three cute little bunny pins. I think I've started a hobby of collecting pins from conventions now. When I got home I found an extra pin in my bag! Sal surprised me with the 'Spirited Away' sprites pin.
