That's right it was I

This was at Anime Attacks last night at Gateshead, planning on going as Vincent Valentine (FF VII) again for Friday which is Harajuku, I wanted to do Vincent for a while just waiting for the right time which was luckly because Halloween is around the corner and they started selling their stuff around the middle of September. Getting the red cape, wig and witches fingers were easy to get, but however the shoes which you can see at the bottom were actully Pringles tins and also the same with Vincent's arm/gauntlet sprayed all of those with Gold spray paint and super-glued them to an old pair of shoes.

The event itself was really good, saw my friends again as always, played a few odd games and StreetPass (3DS), I did see a few Naruto cosplayers, Xion cosplayer (KH 358/2 Days), Kaito (Volcaloid), and a Persona cosplayer. Most of those people were my friends, a lot of people were taking photos of me since I was dressed as Vincent, but they were really surprised on how on earth did I make the shoes

There should be more photos of myself by the end of this week if they appear on Facebook or after Harajuka on the Friday, which I'm looking forward too

First Klonoa came on PSN and now Tombi! which I picked up on PSN, I do remeber playing the demo years ago but heard it was a very hard game to find espcially if you live in the UK. I was torn between buying this or Sonic Adventure 2 but instead bought Tombi! mainly because UK PSN is finally getting some good PS1 games for a change on the store and somthing to download on my PSP.

 @Colmillios Thank You :) I had the thought and ideas what I could use the Pringles tins for, ages ago just finding the right idea what I can do with them. If you were planning on doing a cosplay I can totally tell you would do somthing Naruto related :P which reminds me I do have a few friends who cosplay as Naruto charcters
