IV BCN Japan Weekend 2011 New deviantion

This weekend was the IV Japan Weekend 2011 in Barcelona .
As a member of manganime portal www.misiontokyo.com was obliged to go, but really it mandatory or not, was eager to go. Let's say I like being around from time to time people happy, fun, and open-minded and like similar things to me:)
was held on 26 and 27 February and zone change, this time in the " Cogressos de Catalunya Palau de "end of the green line (L3 ) for University (From my house to get there is like 45 minutes from subway and train.)
Usually people come on Saturday, make a stay or occasionally meets with his friends (because they stand by going in disguise, because it has the facebook xD ...) and Sunday is almost deserted. And the bargains are on Sunday!, So ... Most people do not come to buy, is to show off their cosplay and lolita style, gyaru or punk, fun with friends and nothing more. What happens? That stands or stores, fanzines, etc, do not collect much benefit, and each time it appears that fewer stores are targeted to go. Very sad ... should try to sell offers from 1 day, so people would never think that lower prices at these events and save more to buy there. In addition, publishers will not, Norma editorial is usually enough and tends to roll in charge of the section talks manga, but nothing more ... I do not see these giant islands in the halls of FICOMIC. It is very sad, because if you will point and make things more interesting manganime boost in Spain, which recently layer this fall and only hear closures journals, series, lack of public .... and then complain they do not sell a series ... Did they advertise outside their own websites to gain sales?
Total ... the law of least effort. So
show my disgust from the scene here is dying slowly because of the prices are not lowered in the classrooms and the lack of creative ideas from the publishers.
Internet is killing the scene of events, lounges, stay ... because we always find something cheaper or free for in-store network that you see there. Well ..
pears can not be ordered even elm, if publishers are disgusting this world what will it do? Perhaps some of the blame also have the otakus that we have become perfectionists giving little money. I mean, for a "whiner otaku" flowing through typical web manganime McDonalds burgers should cost all 1 euro and be exactly like the pictures xD.
I think more than one should read the book " The Undercover Economist" by Tim Harford to realize some of what things cost.
Well, back to the central issue was a weekend with lots of movement and fun (although I had and still have a long backlog.)
I saw many people I knew from facebook who greeted me and a few heads turned to me (which will go straight to blur xD) and the people of the scene: Mimotaku, Xavi, Miya, Deidre, Atzur, Lely, Den, Manu, Orochi, Dac ... I also saw people eating food very kawai benthos in the park exit wild cats, swans, security officer with bad milk .. xD total, all very nice but amid security officer.
The only thing was I did not like (other than what I had at first xD) was the lighting of the room (to make pretty pictures was very difficult), needed someone in PA to find out either the activities or poster, could not sell food inside (dioxide! as there may be an event without food?!! at least that would have put posters or something where say the area closest to the event where caught some sandwich) and I had the feeling that there were few stands.
On Saturday I had to do photo shoot cosplayers, encourage stand (This really is always good) and take pictures of everything that moved, distribute free sweets, Xavi torment with candid photos, make the kettle ... and spend the little money I have left of the month xD
On Sunday I was dressed in sailor lolita from home, wearing a coat and could cover my clothing, but the makeup, hair in ringlets, lolita socks and shoes striking could see. People in the street stared at me as if I was a living doll, but in general all over the world with which I came across was very friendly and tolerant, only a dark-skinned foreigners kids clothes "latin king " said something between them, but neither had the iPod and I found out xD. But I was amused that instead of goats gave me a good laugh when people stared at me xDDD
When I arrived at Palau and had sore feet and half would take at the heels, so the rest of the day pass xDD suffering.
And that was it, because Sunday was a very boring, really.

Now come the images to give you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe costume of the sailor lolita "

1.-The Dress:

my shoes causing blisters xD foot in

they did Petticoats pompous dress.

The set xD

2.-The makeup:

False eyelashes to the upper and lower lashes

brightness for your eyes tear, as I have many dark circles really helps me to make one look more refreshing and enlightened.

The Heroine mascara, since I buy I'm very happy with the brand, the only problem is that to take it off you have to buy the makeup remover rimmel special days or it costs 2 or 3 for you to go.

Makeup brand that I have Wink and Candy Doll Dolly.

The complete set

xD 3.-The lenses:

type lenses are anime, such as those usually put the models in magazines such as Popteen.

was the first time I wore contact lenses, and it took 1 hour to get ... and told me that traumatize me xD

And now the pictures of the shop, few ... is that is when there is little pasta xD

The Shopping Cart:

And that's it, I'll upload the photos of the event to Flickr of Misiontokyo, and sorry for not hang any pictures wearing any makeup, contact lenses and clothing and CIA, but does not reach me any picture, and the only ones I made were people inside the venue, I'm waiting for the hang U_U.
