Helsinki Gay Pride 2013

It's that time of the year again. =)
Me and my friends once again travelled to Helsinki to take part in the Gay parade. ♥ And it was another wonderful day! It promised rain for the whole day, it it did not rain once! And nothing bad happened either (last year people got egged (me too) and a few years back there was a gas attack). It was all safe, fun and wonderful.

Here are a few pictures. I took about 300 pics, but don't want to show them all, because my friends are in them and I don't know if they want to show them online. But here's a glimpse:

We were at the starting point, waiting to move, when NYAN NYAN
walked past us. XD

And then we were moving. There were 9000 people taking part and double
that watching the parade. ^__^
... would have been more, if it wouldn't have been promising rain, gah!

Our "group", the flag says "Of course from Lahti" or something
like that. It's a bit difficult to translate fluently. Maybe more like
"Made in Lahti and proud of it"... hmm, I dunno. XD
But anyways, the point: we're from a town called Lahti. =P

Bubble, toes and rainbows. At the Pride park. ^^ 

People are gathering. More came all the time.

Meee in my Pride dress. :D
They gave away those stickers for free (that I have on my boobs),
those two say: "Perv" & "Puma"... like cougar, but we call them... us
(haha) puma. X3

KYAAH! The minister of sports and culture! ♥

My friend Shuji and her balloon. XD ♥

Me, happyhappy meee. ^_^

During this fun and laughter and loveliness and awesomeness, there was
a sadder message: Russian human rights are... well, shit. People tried to
have a Pride parade in Russia and were put to jail. It is now illegal to even talk
about gays in russia. This sucks, it has to change!

But what a day it was. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Once again! It was my sixth Pride
and definitely not last. Next year again! ♥
Now I'm just gonna sleep and do nothing for a long time. So tired. ^^;

Desucon 2013 - Lahti

My yearly Desucon report. This time I have fewer pictures, though the con was really fun. I actually didn't feel like even going when the con started, but then it just turned out brilliant. During Saturday I was laughing and smiling and having a good time and the afterparty was absolutely awesome. We got the dance and saw a lot of friends!
And on Sunday we were at the artists alley again with Ktiraam and both sold almost all of our items! WOAH! ♥
This will still probably be our last desucon, because we both love fantasy/scifi so much more than anime and manga. Finncon is our favourite con and that is where we are heading in a few weeks, HURRAA!

Lahti, Finland, Sibeliustalo!

The beginning! The starting seremony. We all got those awesome
glowy sticks for free! It looked so great!

The "forrest hall" of Sibeliustalo. The place where the con
is held. It is absolutely stunning!

A cute mad hatter!

Kili, Thorin & Thranduil, KYAH!

Human!Tardis and Jack!

Dunno who, but they looked fun. X3

Mass Effect cosplay.

More Mass Effect.

A funny pink pantomime guy. He kept jumping next to us for a long time and
made us laugh. XD

Ktiraam in her Woman!Ianto (from Torchwood)
crossplay with her selfmade Jack Harkness blushie and
sonic screwdriver!

And then I kidnapped Jack and the Sonic screwdriver. ;D

More of those weirdly awesome pantomime guys. :D

Absolutely awesome Kenshin cosplay!

Some Full Metal Alchemist! ^_^

Female LOKI! 

On our way to the afterparty! 

Jumpjumpjump! What a night! ♥

Sunday: Artists alley. I sold out of many of my prints and almost
all of my amigurumis. :D

A few pictures from last night: it was the midsummer night
and Finns like to celebrate. So the beach was FULL of
people. And it just happened to be a gorgeous weather too!

The midsummer bonfire!

And meeee. =3
