Expo

So practically one week before expo, I have been invited to go to it with my boyfriend and his friends. I have never been before, but have lots of friends who have been going to expo for years. For those of you who don't know, its defined as "multi-genre fan convention". Basically there's gaming, sci-fi and comics (manga etc). If I'm honest, I'm a bit of a manga virgin ;) and know very little about it which I thought might be an issue when dressing up. Most people dress up, you see (cosplay, I think it's called), so I figured I would too because I love dressing up. Chris is going as Kira from death note, so I am going to go as Misa Amane. 

The thing with Japanese anime/manga girls is that they all seem a little, how shall I put it, revealing. Well not revealing as such but suggestive...maybe...
I'm not too fussed about dressing like that but bearing in mind I will either probably have to get dressed at home (yeah...because my parents would love that outfit...not) and then get public transport to the Excel centre in London, or get changed there and carry my clothes round with me all day (also not happening!) I am planning on toning it down a little. I have a friend who might be able to lend me some clothes so it should be okay :)
The one thing which is a shame is that I cant afford a wig and am not planning on getting my hair cut just for expo, so I will have to do without the fringe. It's a pity because it seems to be the one constant in all of her pictures. Never mind. 
It should be good fun though :)
