Over the weekend I attended Yamacon for the first time. The con is still fresh, for it is holding their second year. At first I wasn't so excited, but the price point and location was a very convincing factor for me. Add to that a lolita tea party, it made me want to go! Coord pics, right? Well... the thing is... I absolutely suck at getting my coords "full". The only coord I considered complete was probably the dandyish one, since I had everything, but socks and hats. Anyways, I was surprised I managed to pull something out, but in my opinion, I wished I had everything in white and gold. The black and gold version looks better in my opinion.
Tea party on Sunday's outfit. Decided to go brand except for socks and blouse.

One thing that gets me about those pants... they are kind of see-through. I think I may need to wear some white boxers or something to help my thighs blend in. By the way, if you ever get bored on driving on the highways, TN seems to do a good job in keeping you alert with the dips, uphill battles, and many flirts with edges. I nearly died about twice because I was going to fast, even though I was braking constantly! Add some nasty rain to the drive and you a recipe for an Initial D movie.
I've arrived on a Saturday morning with a lot of energy and excitement. Unfortunately, I arrived too early, so I wasted part of morning do mundane stuff like getting an oil change and eating those many pancake places they had. In my honest opinion, they look like any other pancake place in the world, and I also got hashbrowns instead of those cakes made from the pan.
There wasn't much to do at Yama... well, at least in the morning. What did keep me interested was the retro games and Stepmania they offered. I also participated in the Nintendo World Championships. 3 games, 6 mins and 21 secs to get the high score in 3 games (Super Mario, Rad Racer, and Tetris). That was a pretty fun blast in the past. They also had stepmania with a homemade? hardpad.
Ate some gooood sushi. ALL YOU CAN EAT WITH 35 choices. They only offer by the rolls so you are literally stuck with eating 8 of the same thing until the next roll heh.
Steak, Eel+Salmon, and Salmon was some of the many selections.
Sunday: The lolita tea party hosted by the East TN Lolitas! I wasn't able to talk to any of them cause I met with a lolita before the gathering and we had some fun and interesting conversations. She's a blast to talk with and I love her facial expressions for they make me crack up like a hyena. I thought the level of details on her outfit was amazing, especially the top wear. She also makes her stuff and her coord in my opinion, looked fabulous and would like to see more stuff from her. Another girl wearing a sailor lolita coord looked too cute (always had a thing for sailor outfits) and she was too fun to talk with at the party. Too bad she doesn't do FB often, because I would like to meetup with her again for she seemed like a fun person along with my other lolita friend. It's a shame because the next thing I knew, everyone was leaving cause the time was up!
I still need to get over my shyness... I think I'm making progress, but danggggg it's so difficult to go up to people when they are in groups. 1v1, I do perfectly fine.
Summary: Overall, the convention was pretty fun. Even though it was small, the events there offered some fun. Sometimes it got boring, then, it would get fun out of nowhere. I felt like it was worth the trip and give it good enough grade to call it a con and not a gathering. I think with more years, it will get more and more exciting. Add to that a reasonable price for lodging and location (Pidgeon Forge!) it will be a future convention I would go to again.
Sailor Lolita. From the numerous categories of lolita, sailor is one of my favorite ones. We go a long way, sailor and I. Too cute >_>
This girl makes a lot of handmade stuff and is the CEO of her own company at a very young age. She gets mad props from me for being such a sweet and real person. I hope we can meet again!

Ending it with my first punk coordinate. I think I may need something in the chest area to jazz it up. Now this raises the question, is this punk or is this boystyle? I often get confused as hell thinking about it and other combination of clothes I have. Help would be appreciated! T_T
Mr. Stylez has left the building.
