Got up early to finish packing, put on my costume and checked out of the hotel with Stephen. We dragged our luggage and stuff to Expo to put in the baggage area as it would make it easier for me to get changed and pack away my cosplay stuff and then head directly to the DLR.

Browsed the dealers hall, after not feeling very well the night before (had random nausea which prevented me from sleeping) I hardly touched my breakfast. But seeing how much Stephen enjoyed that shaved ice one of the stalls were selling, thought we'd share a strawberry one. It was delicious and hit the spot!
Rachel and her friend Summer then came to see us, as we were finishing our ice, a girl with an armour type cosplay came to sit at our table because of spare seats. Turns out the girl is a part of a Sailor Moon Facebook group that I'm a part of. She is supposed to be the Queen Beryl - what a coincidence! :dummy:

Rachel ( :iconchibisteampunk: and Summer wanted to do more shopping before our Sailor Moon meet. Sunday seemed less packed than Saturday. We headed into the artist alley, where we met some dealers who were massive Sailor Moon fans, got a couple of shots, they were very nice! Love to see them again.
Another stand was selling various manga in this area, and it was the only manga stall that actually had the 8th Sailor Moon volume out! I wasn't expecting it to come out until next month! So I bought it! :dummy:

We eventually headed off to the shoot, it wasn't as great as Saturday as our photoshoot space was blocked because of another event... I also forgot to get some speakers so we could do dances properly, but the Super Sailor Moon in the groupkindly played it and we all busted out some moves, it was fun! We had a couple more shots taken by :icondeadmelonphotography: because they are like, the most amazing photographers ever.

After that we had to rush to the masquerade as we promised :iconzedela: that we'd see her entry! It was the most amazing thing ever, she acted out Eternal Sailor Moon's transformation, various speeches and attack! Like seriously guys, head over to youtube to watch it! :ohnoes: <----- My face throughout her entry.

After that me and Stephen just got tired and I got changed out of my cosplay. Had to ask the cosplay desk if I could plug my hair straighteners in as my fringe was frizzy and I had a massive blister on my forehead (nice!) from the tiara rubbing on it Sat & Sun...
It stills hurts... D:

Soo, that was my Expo experience! It was fun. I won't be going to either May nor October London Expo next year as I can't get the time off. It gives me the perfect opportunity to look into other conventions; preferably Birmingham Expo and Hyper Japan!

I was possibly one of those art dealers who was a fan of Sailor Moon. I was cosplaying Sailor Mars
It was lovely to meet you. I was super impressed by your costumes :3
