Cp in Japan: Kings of Neon II

At the end of February we had another Kings of Neon (see an earlier post back in December/November if you're interested about the first!). Another opportunity to have some fun dancing and throwing neon accessories around the place! We were all just as excited about the next Kings of Neon party, if not more and this time we maybe did a bit more preperation for it than the first one. The party was held in a slightly different, slightly bigger venue. My only criticism was that time passed far too quickly but we had a great time, it really warmed us up in the freezing (snowing) February weather.

Me and Siobhan were thinking very hard of ways to make our costumes. I found some stickyback neon vinyl which worked well as a kind of mask on my face, I made a T-Shirt saying NEON with metallic sprays and I customized my trousers with neon-coloured sello-tape in various zig-zags on one side. The final effect looked great I thought and it made a good impression at the party. Plus, I found an excellent neon magic wand at one of the 100 yen stores, which was the icing on the cake! Siobhan on the other hand used stacks of little stickers on her face to look like she was crying neon from one cheek right down her neck to her chest, she had customized a top with Kings of Neon all over it, and had some excellent tights and lots of vivid colours! Her hair was excellent, a few feathers and coloured pieces attatched to it, and an excellent colour masquerade mask that, once arranged around her hair, looked like it was actually part of her hair!

Loads of people put in a great effort to have some fun dressing up and the night was a great laugh and good fun!

Hopefully there will be another one soon - its getting to become the trademark event of Yamagata 07/08 - just a shame the guys who keep setting it up will be leaving this year, I don't think I have the skills or ability to set up an event like them!
