Kohi Date: Kumoricon 23 ☆*。★ﾟ*♪ヾ(☆ゝз・)ノ

Hi hi!

Another con post, then I will go back to
trying to catch up with my back log!

Kumoricon was such a magical time that truly opened
my eyes to how amazing the jfashion community is!

I have been gyaru for about 4 years now
and just had my gal-iversary back in October!

But lately I have starting to try out Decora again!!

Back in June I tried a Decora look for my friends party
but I wanted to try it again for Kumoricon.

I remember seeing some decora and Fairy Kei in the
past at the con so I thought it might be fun.

After planning my outfit, a week before the con, I then found out
there were going to be a ton of JFashion Guests and vendors!

I was so surprised it seemed like fate!
Cybr.Grl, Kurebayashi, HyperCore and 6%dokidoki.

This changed everything! Now I really need to step up my game!
But I was also so excited to be able to purchase some brand clothes!!

*☆ Friday ☆*

Cybr.grl was having a Decora 101 panel so I

changed my cosplay plans to wear a gyaru look for this day instead.

I truly wanted to embody OTT and Tsujimori!

After getting ready (for a very long time) me and my
friend Mango went in line to get my badge.

We had a lot of fun waiting in line and
taking photos with his cameras!

Thanks for all the photos Mango!

After I got my badge I bee-lined it to the vendors hall
so I could go straight to the Jfashion booths!

[So glad I did because there was a lot of limited stock]

First I visited HyperCore's booth!

I was so excited to get one of his shirts since
I had missed his booth at AWA.

I got two of the school girl shirt for me and a friend
but I also got two other tops that just fit my style so well!

The neon yellow shirt has a girl
drinking coffee so it felt perfect for me!

He was so kind and his translator was so helpful!
I love the drawing he made of me!
Thank you so much for the drawing too!

I then went to the 6%DokiDoki booth!

Wow! What a magical feeling booth and brand!

The shop staff member Pea Chan was so sweet and we got so

many photos together!

[I felt embarrassed at my limited Japanese but calling each
other kawaii over and over seemed to do the trick!]

I ended up buying A LOT at 6%dokidoki and I was a bit shy about how crazy I went spending, but I think I got some very iconic piece's, and I am so PUMPED TO WEAR THEM!

I met so many sweet people that became instant
friends while just standing at both booths!

It was so great meeting you Hanami Hime and Liv!

After the doki booth, I headed to Cybr.grls booth; Candy Trap!
Her booth was so amazing and had so many
great and affordable items!

I got so many bracelets and hair clips!

I actually went back to her booth Saturday and bought
more items after the fashion show!

I got a super cute star skirt that
I wore Saturday night!

Next I went to GhostGirlGoods table and was shocked
to see Lovely Lor! I was almost in disbelief!

I have watched so many of her videos and IG over the years!

She was very excited to see
a "Gyaru in the wild"

She was such a cool person and
I was so happy to meet her!

After visiting the main JFashion booths, I felt my wallet screaming at me so I left and got ready to go to the Decora 101 panel!

I stopped to change my shoes for the panel and forgot that
I put a can of Redbull in them..Which was now
inside them and all in my bag.
Oh well!

I put my Redbull shoes on and headed to the panel!
Every one looked so cute and colorful waiting for the panel to start!

The panel was so wonderful and I learned so much!

Cybr.grl did such an amazing job and was so adorable!

I got to chat a little with her and got some photos!

I wish I could have chatted longer but there were so many

waiting to meet her, So I chatted some amazing people while I waited.

Eliana you were so cute and It was so
nice chatting with you!

Glitz and Neon you both were so cool and helpful!
I am happy to have met you!

After the panel I went back to the room to drop off my things and
eat some leftover gumbo from day Zero ww.

I also had some drinks and changed into one of
the Hypercore shirts I got!

I looked so cool!!!

Mango got some great photos of me trying to
open a can of Hard Mountain Dew but It looks like im trying
to shotgun it wwww

Me and my friends spent the evening wandering
around and chatting!

I love you all so much!

I was so happy to see you again Sica!

(We are The cryptids)

I also smoked a lot and actually (kind of) got to learn Majong!

*☆ Saturday ☆*

Saturday morning I got some breakfast in the hotel cafe;
Coffee and a bagel!

Fishing was on the TV ww

I was so super excited to reveal my Raimu cosplay from
one of my favorite anime, Bakuon!

I've already cosplayed a couple of characters from
the series so now I'm on # 3/5!

For lunch me and my friends took the train to
a super yummy restaurant called Kale.

Its Japanese curry with cheese!
It was so delicious!

I was so sad because I only got 4 photos taken of me in my
Raimu cosplay and I think only 2 actually knew who I was
(one being my friend too).

Maybe I will get more recognized next time!

I love Bakuon! so much!

Later that night I changed into a cozy decora outfit!
I was so excited to wear my new Candy Trap skirt
and all my accessories!

Me and Mango "pre-gaming"

Found Sica again! She looks so amazing aaaa!

We loitered the lobby a while and had some drinks
at the bar, which were super delicious!

Then we started to wander other
hotels and parties!

I had so much fun goofing around with friends!
Love you guys!

*☆ Sunday ☆*

This was the day I originally planned out a decora look for!
I was so happy to add so many new accessories I got!

There was a Jfashion Mixer event I debated on going to but
decided not to due to funds and personal conflicts but
it seemed like it was a lot of fun!

I wished I got to meet Sebastian from 6%dokidoki and
Kurebayashi but maybe someday ♡

I was able to get a couple of her hair charms!
They are so cute!
