Yesterday went well! 'Dorothy's Boutique' ended up being completely awesome. I think everyone should go there if they have the chance! They have all kinds of costume stuff at good prices, and - yes! - they had not one, but a few different pink wigs there! And they didn't cost an arm & a leg! ::halleluia chorus plays:: The drawback: They didn't have a LIGHT pink wig without bangs, so I had to get a hot pink one. But no biggie, I was just thrilled to have one! The sales girl was soooooo nice! She let me try a couple on, gave me a few tips for keeping hair under a wig, & she was just terrific! A+! So I paid the 30-something dollars & went on my way a VERY satisfied cosplayer.
I had 'lunch' at a McDonald's down the street. I put lunch in quotation marks b/c I ordered a 'Mighty Kids Meal' ( ::rolls her eyes:: ), but the cashier didn't understand 100% of my English & gave me just 6 McNuggets & a sm. soda (which I wanted anyway) instead. Rather than make waves, b/c it really wasn't a big deal, I ate it.
Then I went to the Sheraton and, longer story short, waited for Hill & Chris to arrive. And luckily, it wasn't too long of a wait! Oh man, I was sooooooo excited to see them! We got into our room, dropped our stuff, & then went to Pre-Registration for Anime Boston. We were in line for kind of a while (at least an hour, if not 1 1/2 hours), so it kinda pushed our plans back a bit (but it's okay, I loved just hanging out with them!).
Then we got on the subway to the Harvard Sq. stop and went to Tokyo Kid (for anyone who doesn't know, it's an anime store). I was hoping to find a red 'leaf village' (Naruto) headband to go with my Sakura costume & wig, but - no dice. Tokyo Kid is gonna have a booth set up in the Dealer's room later today though, so I'll try then. Hill ended up buying me a mini Rinoa figure! She's so sweet! *^__^*
Speaking of Rinoa..... guess what ELSE I forgot to bring with me! Her skirt!!! ::punches herself:: ARRGGHH!!! ::sighs:: No matter... I'm gonna wander the Pru mall a little this morning (Hill & Chris are still asleep right now) to try & find a denim skirt. I was gonna get one @ Urban Outfitters last night b/c there was one across the street from 'The Garage' mall (where Tokyo Kid was), but it would have cost me $48 or $58!!! Yeah... that's just ridiculous. I'll figure out something else. Besides, we're not doing our Final Fantasy cosplay under TOMORROW (Saturday), so it'll give me time to look.
The opening ceremonies for AB don't start until 11am, and the dealer's room doesn't open until 12pm, so that gives me a little time this morning. But at any rate - I'd better take my shower & get going. The sooner I get ready, the sooner I can have breakfast & shop, and come back to the room for Hill & Chris. Okay, I'm off! ::runs::
PS - My Rinoa weapon/prop, the 'Shooting Star', got kinda banged up while I was carrying down windy Mass Ave towards the Sheraton. Oy. It's not in HORRIBLE condition, but a couple of the 'wings' are becoming unglued, so I'll have to fix that before tomorrow. Fun fun. *-__-
