Sakura Con 2011

This was a year I won't forget. The array of outfits at the convention this year was astounding. I mean It happens... Every year some people all decide they want to be link or other characters but year after year people surprise me more and more! I see new, splendid, elaborate outfits that make me grin! People everywhere sitting where they can, fighting through the multitudes of people just to go to an event that was happening at that moment.

Every year I have been to sakura con there has always been a guy who is dressed as toast. He told me the story of what he orignally had planned for this outfit.... He originally wanted to be a sandwich. Him and his buddy were both going to be bread and then someone was going to be the center... This outfit was too complicated for him though and it took him four days to make toast! No... I must let you know he isn't meatloaf.

The Cosplay outfits I was most commonly seeing were cheesy outfits that people put together in a day or two or decided to not make their own and just ordered online. There were many though who came up with such unique outfits and it made me grin! Seeing Link every time I walked around a corner was very odd... and Men in short skirts frightened me... It's always fun making friends there too! It isn't a hard thing when you are in a building filled with very odd people.
