Erika Vikman, Tavastia, Helsinki, 17.3.2022

 I've had tickets for this show for two years now. I originally purchased them in 2020, when I was a really big fan of Erika Vikman. I'm no longer the biggest fan of hers, but her music is good, her style is amazing and she is a very good performer. I had a friend coming with me but they said they did not want to come. So I went alone. I talked to some girls but could not really find any company, so I left right after Erika had stopped her show. But the show itself was great. She performed my favorite songs Cicciolina and Syntisten pöytä, Cicciolina she actually performed twice. And I have to say that Häpeä and Aikuisten rannakkeet are very good songs when I heard them live. I actually filmed Cicciolina, Syntisten pöytä and Anna rakas raju hetki but decided not to upload them to YouTube. I put them public on my Facebook page, if you're interested.

When Erika was in UMK, where is decided who Finland will send to Eurovision, I heard Cicciolina for the first time and thought it was awful. But then I listened it on repeat and I started to like the song. When Syntisten pöytä came out I absolutely loved it. The song and the music video were so good and I would really love an industrial metal cover of the song 

The CD she published was little bit disappointing, since it did not have any hit songs like I thought it would. Some of the songs were pretty good, but none of them stood out. But after I heard Aikuisten rannekkeet live, I realized it is a pretty good song.

Here are some of her songs she performed.

Cicciolina and Aikuisten rannekkeet.

Pyhä Erika and Anna rakas raju hetki.

Häpeä.

Overall a good show, it's been a while since I have been in a concert.

 

Addams Family the Musical, Jyväskylän kaupunginteatteri, 11.09.2021

Sorry that this post has taken so long. I finished the text months ago but I lost the program and I was too lazy to find it. Also I have not had a lot of inspiration to write this blog.

As I'm a goth, I'm ashamed to say. it took me over ten years to know the Addams Family, even though that show is part of the goth subculture. I thought of watching the movies for over 15 years, and watched them three years ago. Before then I had only seen some scenes from the 60's show and listened the theme music. But when I heard there was going to be an Addams Family musical, I knew, that I had to see it. The only problem was that it was in Jyväskylä, and it takes 3,5h to get there by train. Thankfully my friend Minna decided to go with me, and we booked the tickets. My original plan was to leave after the musical, but none of the trains left in the evening and we would have needed to stay up for the morning train. This would have worked for me, but I did not want to ask this for Minna, so we decided to take a hotel. We took Omena Hotel, the cheapest possible hotel and stayed there. I had Omena Hotel when I was in Tampere, and that hotel was pretty bad. So I was surprised that the Jyväskylä Omena Hotel was a lot better. But the entrance was kind of confusing. When we arrived there, there was a barrier and text that said "no enter" and then a door. So we did not even see the entrance of the hotel. But we arrived there, and after a while we arrived to the theater. The seats that we bought were not in use, but thankfully we got quite nice seats at the third row.

The show itself was pretty good. Gomez Addams, played by Paavo Honkimäki stole the show. He was just too good it is difficult to put to words. His acting and singing was perfect. I liked Morticia (Tytti Vänskä) and Wednesday (Saara Jokiaho) as well. They both sung very well, and I liked especially Wednesday. I never really liked Fester (Pekka Hiltunen), but he was not as annoying as in the movies, and Pugsley (Sami Ulmanen) was fine as well. Lucas Beineke (Miko Petteri Jaakkola) was super cute, and I really liked his singing and acting as a teenager. Some of the best notes were sung by Anna-Maija Oka who played Alice Beineke, and Grandma (Anneli Kauppinen) and Mal Beineke (Markus Virtanen) were okay as well. 

Overall the musical was good, acting and singing was good and the band played well as well. The only thing I did not like were the costumes. They did not have their classic costumes, which really bothered me. Gomez did not have his classic pinstripe suit, but this weird red and black cape and vest. Wednesday's outfit was kind of weird as well, as she had this red and black dress. But at least she had her classic braids, as in some productions of this musical she has a different hairstyle. But the outfit of Morticia, oh my god, I hated it. She had this awful red and black flamingo style dress. Morticia would NEVER wear something like that. She would only wear full black dress. In the end she had a beautiful full red dress, but I kind of felt red is not her color in clothes. Also her hair was kind of weird, as usually the hair is down, she had this weird updo hairstyle. Wednesday and Morticia also did not have wigs, the actors had their own hair, and so neither of them had black hair, which kind of bothered me, as they should not have brown hair.

What also kind of bothered me, but what was funny at the same time, was that Gomez was taller than Lurch (Jouni Salo). Lurch is a character that is meant to be extremely tall. Even though he had 10cm platform shoes, he was still shorter than Gomez.

I had never seen the musical and decided to not to spoil myself. I had only seen the beginning, the overture and the song When you're an Addams. The plot was kind of silly. Basically Wednesday has fallen in love with a "normal" boy and that boy's family had been invited to visit the Addams. Wednesday said very clearly that they should act normal when the Beikene family arrives. This confused me. I thought the Addams family thought they were the normal, and everyone else was different. I'm not sure if the creators of the musical really understood Addams Family. 

Anyway I really liked the show, even though the journey there was not that easy. Thankfully the trains of this day and age are not that uncomfortable. The next show I'm going to see is not a musical, but a play. I'm going to see The Hobbit play, as few years ago I saw the Lord of the Rings play. 

Here you can see Gomez's and Morticia's outfits. Even though Gomez's outfit is fine, I prefer the classic pinstripe look. Morticia's outfit was just awful as you can see, she would never wear anything like this.

The dress at the end. This is better what she wore to whole musical, but I still don't think that full red is Morticia's color. But the dress was beautiful.

The program. It was quite small, but it had nice information about the show and its makers. The price was good, it only cost 5 euro.

Cosplay plans for 2022

My cosplay plans for this year. I might not do all of these, if the events get cancelled because of the coronavirus. But these are the plans I might do this year. I am excited to return to cosplay, I have not been cosplaying since 2014 but I was meant to return to it in 2020. I hope the events do not get cancelled since I want to do this hobby again. 

Lady Dimitrescu - Resident Evil: Village

I always complain how most of the characters I cosplay are shorter than me. Well that is not the case in this cosplay. Lady Dimitrescu is whopping 290cm tall, way taller than any human. I never knew anything about the Resident Evil games, I have only seen some of the movies and they were really bad. What caught my eye is how amazing her design is. Not only she is not as thin other sexy video game females, she has a semi-realistic face. Her costume is simply great and I loved her 20's-esque hair and the big hat. She has claws in some parts of the game, but I'm not doing those, I'm going to have leather gloves as seen in this picture. I'm very excited to cosplay her and I'm doing her for Desucon if that event gets done.

Roxanne Wolf - Five Nights at Freddy's: Fury's Rage

I have known FnaF as long it has existed all the way from 2014. I have not been part of the fandom for several years, but the new game Security Breach dragged me back. I absolutely fell in love with Roxy but her Security Breach look was little bit too revealing for me. So I found her design in Fury's Rage, a fighting game by Scott Cawthon, so this is a legit design, not a fan one. I already bought the skin paint and her shirt. I'm not doing her tail and her ears myself, I'm having someone else to do them. The skin painting kind of scares me, as half of my body gets painted.

Cherry - Studio Killers

This is a years old cosplay plan. I was meant to cosplay her in 2020, but then the coronavirus happened and all the events got cancelled. This cosplay is sort of easy. A dress and boots like that are not that difficult to find and her little hat can also be bought. I already have blue contact lenses where the pupil is covered. The wig is little bit difficult, as that color is not possible to buy, I would need to dye it. I have never dyed a wig and I'm not sure if I even could. The makeup is also very hard, as she has these tears going down her cheek.

 

Kirari Momobami - Kakegurui 

This is also another cosplay that is years old. I was also meant to cosplay her in 2020. She was my favorite from the anime, and even though she has a school uniform on, she looks super cool. Kakegurui has the best school uniforms in anime I've ever seen, and I loved her unique hair, her blue eyes and her blue lipstick. I'm not sure what con I'm doing her, possibly for Desucon, possibly for Tracon.

Monika - Doki Doki Literature Club!

This is also another cosplay that changed from 2020 to 2022. I'm not 100% sure if I will do her this year or am I cosplaying her in 2023, but I'm including her here anyway. I really liked her character from the game and I like her looks even though her costume is kind of simple and the colors of her costume are not really my liking.

Cruella de Vil - Cruella

This is a cosplay which I have been planning from the moment I saw the movie. Cruella had many great costumes in that film, but I thought this long coat would fit me the best. This cosplay is expensive to make, so I will only do it if the con actually takes place. I might do another Cruella outfit this year which is cheaper to make.

Scarlet Witch - WandaVision

This is my biggest dream cosplay at the moment. Wanda was always one of my favorite MCU female characters, and WandaVision is my favorite MCU Disney+ show. When I saw this costume I knew I needed to cosplay her. This costume is incredibly beautiful and one of the best designs in the MCU. This costume is very expensive to make, so I will only do it if the con is 100% going to happen. So I might do this next year, we'll see. 

Why I love Ivy from Soul Calibur

 As some may know, Ivy Valentine from Soul Calibur is my favorite game character ever, and I have been a little bit obsessed with her. Here I am explaining why I love her so much.

Ivy Valentine is from the fighting game series Soul Calibur, and she has appeared in every game except for the first one, Soul Edge. She is one of the most well-known female game characters, mostly because of her sex appeal, and she is most likely the most known character from Soul Calibur. Ivy has an unique fighting style with a sword that can turn into a whip with blades, and she dresses as a dominatrix. Ivy has one of the most detailed backstories of all Soul Calibur, as she is the daughter of pirate Cervantes, and she was adopted into a wealthy British family. Ivy is an alchemist, and she created her whip-sword herself. She seeks to destroy the Soul Edge, the evil sword from the game series. 

From her appearance you can see that she was intended for teenage boys and young men, but apparently teenage girls can fall in love with her too. I was 15 years old when Soul Calibur V was published, and I discovered Ivy. I fell in love with her right away, as she was so different than most sexy video game females. Ivy was bigger than most of those video game females (this is seen especially in Soul Calibur IV) and she did not have a standard pretty face (this was changed in Soul Calibur VI) and she was a lot older. Ivy is 32 years old, making her one of the most old sexy female video game characters. I loved her pale skin and her looks, her dominatrix costumes and her fighting style. I also loved that every 2P outfit she had was not revealing, except for the 2P outfit she had in Soul Calibur V. I love her so much I have planned a tattoo of her. I have yet not decided what costume I will use in the tattoo, but right now I really like the Soul Calibur VI outfit.

I have pictures of all her outfits, so lets start with the first game, Soul Calibur, that was released in 1998.

Ivy's 1P outfit from Soul Calibur. This costume is very simple, as the console cannot process more detail. In the picture the fabric looks like leather, but in the game, it looks like normal fabric. The costume is beautiful in all its simplicity.

Her official concept art from the first game.

Ivy's 2P outfit from Soul Calibur. Like I said, most of her 2P outfits are not as revealing. This costume is beautiful and it is pirate themed, even though at this point the developers had not told that she is Cervantes' daughter.

Then there is Soul Calbur II, published in 2002.

Her outfit from Soul Calibur II. This costume has a lot more detail, and it is sexier too. This is Ivy's most well known outfit along with her Soul Calibur IV outfit, and this is seen as a standard outfit for her. Even though this is quite simple too, I absolutely love it.

Other concept art of her from Soul Calibur II.

Ivy in 3D as seen in the game.

Her 2P outfit from Soul Calibur II. This costume is beautiful, and like its predecessor, it is also pirate themed. I love how her hair is slicked back in this outfit.

Her 2P outfit in 3D.

Her third costume from Soul Calibur II. This is the only game where she has three costumes. This costume is not my liking. She looks great in red, but that corset and the stockings are kind of awkward, and I don't really like this.

Soul Calibur III come out in 2005.

Ivy from Soul Calibur III. This is her only white outfit, and it is super beautiful. Even though this is quite similar from her Soul Calibur II outfit, I really like this one.

Her 3D look from the game.

Her 2P outfit from Soul Calibur III. This is also one of her outfits that I don't like. It has too much going on and the armor is really awkward. The dress part is beautiful, and I like the fishnet stockings and the hat is nice, but that is all I like about this outfit.

Then there is Soul Calibur IV, published in 2008.

This is Ivy's most revealing outfit and because of it it's the most well-known. This is Playstation 3 era, that allowed much more detail. She has a very detailed outfit and armor, and the fabric of her costume has purple snake skin. Even though this costume is ridiculously revealing, it is still one of my favorites.

Ivy in 3D.

This is her 2P outfit from Soul Calibur IV. This is my favorite 2P outfit from hers. It is not very revealing and it is super beautiful. The costume is very Xena-like, but I still love it. I love how different her hair is in this costume and the corset looks super good on her.

Then there is Soul Calibur V, which came out in 2012. 

Ivy's 1P outfit from Soul Calibur V.  This is one of my favorite outfits of hers. I love the details, the snake skin fabric, the snake-skull armor and the fact it is not as revealing as her other 1P outfits. This outfit is also inspired by pirates.

Ivy's look in 3D.

Her 2P outfit from Soul Calibur V. This is the only 2P outfit that is revealing. Even though this is revealing, this is one of my favorite 2P outfits for Ivy. The costume is detailed and she looks great in gold. 

The costume for Soul Calibur VI. This is the only costume for her in the game, as all other games had at least two outfits for her. I did not like the 3D version of Ivy in this game, as they made her skinny and young looking, and they made her face completely different. But I really like this outfit, it is super detailed and beautiful. This is actually a remake of her outfit from Soul Calibur, but this is more revealing and more detailed. This is the costume I have been planning to get the tattoo from. This is probably mu favorite outfit of hers.

Concept art with 2B.

Ivy in 3D. I really don't like her looks in the game, even though I like the costume. She is too skinny and too young.

Then there are the theme songs. Ivy has four theme songs, from Soul Calibur, Soul Calibur II, Soul Calibur III and Soul Calibur V.

"Unblessed Soul" from Soul Calibur. This is not made with a real orchestra, but it still sounds good. The melody is beautiful and it suits her.

"Maze of the Blade" from Soul Calibur II. This is very Egypt-esque, which is because of her stage is based on Egypt. This was a bit odd choice for me, since Ivy has nothing to do with Egypt.

"Face Your Fate" from Soul Calibur III. This song has a beautiful melody and I like it. 

"Without the Blessing of Fate" from Soul Calibur V. This is my favorite song for Ivy and my favorite game soundtrack in general. This song is absolutely beautiful and powerful. This is one my favorite soundtracks ever made.

There are four scale figures of her, and one upcoming First 4 Figures 1/4 statue of her. I have all them, and I've preordered the F4F statue.

Ivy's Queens Gate figure. Ivy was a guest character in a game called Queens Gate, and so this figure was made. I absolutely love this, even though her face is anime-ish. This figure is by Hobby Japan made in 2011. This outfit is from Soul Calibur IV.

There is the super rare Kyosho statue of Ivy from 2002. This is my rarest figure, and this also my favorite figure. As this figure is very old, it is not painted very well and it is made out of resin instead of PVC, so it is very heavy. This outfit is her Soul Calibur outfit. I absolutely love this figure.

These figures are by Enterbrain. The figures are beautiful, but they have flaws. The faces are not sculpted or painted well, and they do not resemble Ivy at all. The figures are very top heavy and the base is ridiculous, as it too small. The figures do not stay up, and I had to use Blu-Tack to get to them to stay up. The figures have two different colors, the white one is known as "Limited Edition" and the purple one is called "International Edition". This is Ivy's outfit from Soul Calibur III.

Ivy figure from McFarlene Toys. This is the only painted Ivy figure I do not own, as it is very bad quality and very small.

Ivy statue from First 4 Figures. Ivy has her Soul Calibur II costume on. I have preordered this statue and it is my most expensive statue ever. This statue is really big, as it is 58cm tall. This is the version with the proper base, there are also two other versions with a black oval base.

Here is a bonus picture: a comparison between Ivy's first appearance in the first Soul Calibur and her later appearance in Soul Calibur VI. Like I said the costume is based on her first appearance, but it is more detailed and revealing. Here you can see well how similar they are. 

That is all, I hope you like this post. :)

We Will Rock You, Helsinki Ice Hall, 25.08.2021

 It's  been a while since I have been in a musical. I wanted to see We Will Rock You, as I'm a fan of the band Queen, and my father is also, so with him we booked tickets for this musical. I have to say I really enjoyed it. We had seats as the third row in front of the stage, which were very good seats. The musical was mostly really good. I have to say the singing was not from this world, everyone sung incredibly beautifully. The chorus sounded so perfect I thought they would be doing a playback, and everyone of the main cast had amazing voices. Galileo Figaro was played by Lauri Mikkola, and he was just so good. Even though I have to say I prefer Freddie Mercury's singing voice, he sung extremely well. I also really liked his acting, he had a lot of energy and seemed to enjoy what he was doing. I have never been a fan of Saara Aalto, as she annoys me so much but I have to say she was pretty good in this. She has a remarkable voice, and she also had a lot of energy. But I have to say Nina Tapio stole the show as Killer Queen. I have to say I was little bit underwhelmed by her costume, as I  saw the costume of Killer Queen in the German production, and loved it, but I have to say she sung amazingly and she had a great precedence. I also loved Vallu Lukka's Khashoggi, and Joel Mäkinen as Brit and Jussu Pöyhönen as Buddy were pretty good. But I have to say Jennie Storbacka stole every scene she was in. She was incredible, she sung so well and I really loved her character.

I only knew the plot of the musical quite vaguely, and I'm not sure if I liked so much. The singing and the music was great, but the plot felt kind of foolish. Basically the musical is set in 300 years to the future where live music is illegal, and people called Bohemians are fighting against that law. I don't know what to think about that plot. It felt kind of lazy, but creating a musical after songs of a rock band, that do not have a story between them, is probably hard (and Mamma Mia, another jukebox musical, does not have that good story either). 

 I really liked the futuristic costumes other character hand, when Galileo and Scaramouche had pretty normal clothes (and I really loved the fishnet in Saara Aalto's costume). Like I said I was underwhelmed of Killer Queen's outfit, but it was not bad. It had a different style what I've seen on of other productions, but it was not bad. The officers and the GaGa girls had interesting costumes, and I really liked how futuristic they were.

I did not knew all the songs in the musical even though I'm a fan of Queen, and so I did not know the lyrics in English to make a comparison with the translation to Finnish. But overall the translation worked, and the message was understood. They also had some of the songs in English, which I have never experienced in a musical in Finland, and some of the songs were partially in Finnish and partially in English. This was an interesting choice. They also performed the last three songs, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions and We Will Rock You in English. 

The translation was made for the Finnish viewer, and many Finnish bands and songs were mentioned in this musical. This was something Ben Elton, who originally created the musical, wanted. There was a mention of Hassisen Kone, Nylon Beat, Raptori, Leevi and the Leavings and many more. This was something I really enjoyed, as the original references to the bands and songs that are famous in England are not known in Finland. Also I have to say the band was excellent. The only thing I did not like was the lack of sets. The whole musical did not have any sets, with the expectation of some stairs. They only had a screen in the background. This was confusing to me, since this was a big budget musical and the tickets were expensive, so I kind of expected some kind of set design. But overall, I really liked it and it was a joy to see theatre piece after such a long time. In September, I'm going to see the Addams Family musical.

My look in the show. I am not wearing brown contact lenses, I am wearing golden ones, but they kind of look brown in this picture.

The program from the show. The program was very good quality, but it was quite expensive, as it cost 20 euro.

The show had a screen that showed the names of the main cast. This was pretty interesting, I've never seen this in Finland.

In memory of Ella

Ella (Cocoon's One of Us) 30.05.2009 - 07.06.2021

Ella lived a long happy life. She lived mostly healthy life, as she only had small problems like over-growth of gums and heartburn. She in fact lived a lot longer what I anticipated. I have been preparing for her passing for years, since I knew it was coming, but as it came, it hurts like hell. Ella lived for 12 years and she lived with us for almost 12 years. So she had been a part of my life for half of my existence. She was there when I suffered from severe depression and she was there when I was bullied in school. She was there for the some of the hardest parts of my life and I'm grateful for her that she was. She gave me consolation and comfort when I was struggling. She was such a happy and exuberant dog. She loved every human being from the bottom of her heart and she had a lot of dog friends too. I just wish her end would have been not so rough.

Ella was never properly diagnosed, but we assumed she had the Cushing's Disease. So she got medication for that. For the first day she was a little bit tired, but me and my mom just assumed it was because of a long walk and heat. The next day she had a seizure. She could not get up, was scared and vomited white foam. After the seizure ended, she just walked. She did not stop at all, she just walked and walked. My mom stayed up all night since the dog could not be let by herself without supervision. Just before the vet came, she had another seizure. By that time, she had had over 10 seizures. She could not move when the vet came, and she was put to sleep. She died in the same grass she first came in. We had her come at the grass in a cat carrying case. It felt right that she died at the same place she was introduced when she arrived at my mom's house. I feel lucky, since I was there when she died. If that had happened when I was not at my mom's house, my mom could not go to Espoo and pick me up. I was not there when Miuku, my cat who lived with me for 14 years, passed, and I'm still a little salty about that. I have to say I miss Ella. She was such a personality. She always greeted me with such happiness and even though when she got older she was not as excited, she was always happy to see me. I'm not sure if I believe in the afterlife but I sure do hope I and Ella will meet again someday.

Ella as a little puppy.

Ella as a young dog. She is one year old in this picture.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Ella. Love the colors and the calm mood.

Unfortunately me and my mom have lost almost all pictures of Ella when she was young. But I still have these pictures. Miss you so much Ella. <3

London, England, 9.8-14.8.2016 part 2

This is a translated version of this. After the Harry Potter play we visited central London, the Natural History Museum and a few geek shops. The geek shops were nice, and me managed to see three during one day. Forbidden Planet was quite big geek shop, where the upstairs was meant for figurines and other geek stuff and downstairs had comics. Even though they had a lot of stuff, I could not really find anything. There were a lot of Marvel comics, but as I'm not interested of the comics I did not buy any. There was a lot of fandoms that I like, but a lot of stuff I would like to buy. I also wanted to buy a figure from there, but I could not find any that I would like. If you like DC, they had a lot of their figures. I bought a card holder which had the sign of Slytherin (I don't really do anything with it but it is nice to own) and a Attack on Titan poster, which had my favorite characters Female Titan and Mikasa on it. 

As Forbidden Planet was about to close, I could not take any pictures inside. I took a few of the showcase.

I had heard from a person that had lived in Camden that it is not the best area of London. But I have to say I was shocked to see where Who Shop was located. Doctor Who is quite a big deal in Britain and but still Who Shop with its store and Doctor Who museum was in really bad area, that kind of felt like a slum. The buildings seemed to be at the point of collapse and there were small boutiques of immigrants everywhere. We arrived to Who Shop 5 minutes before the closing time and lol, they did not let us in. The door was locked even though there were clients inside and they just came to the door to see us and walked away. The shop was so small that we could have been though it within five minutes. Also the door had instructions that you could not go inside if you smelled of tobacco or perfume which caused little what the fuck feelings for me and Pipsa. I saw the shop outside, I'm not going there ever again.

Shop from outside. Apparently they also sell Star Wars merchandise. 

Because of the whole mess with Who Shop, I decided randomly go to back to central London to look for a Harry Potter shop. I originally had not planned to go there, but I decided that we would make it. The shop was easy to find, we arrived at Kings Cross St. Pancras and the shop was there, about one hundred meters walk away. The shop was nice, but it felt like it was a little bit narrow. There were a lot of products and even replicas from the movies, but those were quite costly. All the houses were represented, but I noticed that there a lot of Gryffindor merchandise.  I could understand that, as we see everything through the eyes of Gryffindor students. I bought a Slythering necktie, and and a Deathly Hallows keychain, that I turned into a necklace. Before the trip I had bought a Slytherin scarf because I had planned to put it on when I was going to see the play, but I did not. They sold it a lot cheaper, so I was a little annoyed.

Slytherin representation table.

Professor Slughorn's hourglass. It looked so cool, and I wanted it so bad.

They also sold stuff like this. Unfortunately I could not take more pictures, the shop was full of people and all the interesting products were behind glass cabinets so taking pictures was really difficult. 

The next day we visited Natural History Museum. The museum was easy to find, as from the metro we could find an arrow that showed where to walk. The building was really big and really beautiful.  I really like old buildings and how they are built. We arrived to the museum 30 minutes before closing time, and we went to see the fossils of the dinosaurs. They were the only thing I wanted to see, as taxidermied animals can be seen in other places too. I have always wanted to visit the museum and I have loved dinosaurs since childhood. I took some pictures of them, but I have to apologize the quality difference, my SLR camera's battery died so I took the rest of the pictures with my phone. 

The building itself was really beautiful.

The lounge was great too.

I took pictures of two cool paintings.

This is one of the nicest pictures I took during the trip.

I also saw these sexy robot raptors. Notice the derp expression and my phone's bad camera quality.

I also posed with this sexy robot T. Rex. I really like the colors of this picture.

I wanted to see the Big Ben, so we went to central London. It is beautiful.

The next day we had to leave, and we did not really have time to do anything else than get up, eat and leave. I managed to miss Warner Bros. Studio as it was booked fully, and did not have the chance to see any musicals, but those I'm doing the next time I'm going to London. 

The things I bought: 

The Slytherin tie, card holder and Deathly Hallows keycahin. If you are wondering what the other things are, they had fudge inside it :D I really wanted British fudge but could not find it anywhere else than airport. 

The key chain that I turned into a necklace. I really like this, this is one of my favorite necklaces.

The Attack of Titan poster. Sorry about the poor light in my room. 

I hope you liked the post. :)
