Yaoi convention in Sweden! 17 - 19 of June

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Hello one and all! o/

I've gotten permission from the mods to make this cosplay-spruced announcement:

B.L.Y.G. '11 aka Boys Love Yaoi Gakkai is taking place in Skogås (Stockholm) this year! Sweden's best (and only ;P) yaoi-themed anime convention is approaching. Between 17-19 of June, yaoi fans aged 13 and up will gather at Östra Gymnasiet in Skogås (Stockholm).

Note: Last day to buy tickets online is on the 31st of May! ♥

My good friend jildingroi agreed to don her Sweden-cosplay (despite yesterday's stifling heat), and took some fantabulous photos for the sake of yaoi convention-awareness ;D Thank you, hun! *glomps her* ^3^ ♥

Here be a preview:





"Hello 'nd welcome. Bew're of moose." *nods head at the pin attached to his lapel*


"Seems to be moose-free t'day..." *glances around*


"Phew, 's hot..." *undresses* (=~=);;;


"The peonies Finn plant'd are looking good." *caresses petals*


"Aah, 's too hot..." *reclines on the lawn* "Zzz..."


*sits up and frets* "No good, what if Finland saw me like th's..." (=_=);


"Tino..."

~o~o~o~


All dolled up for a night on the town ^w^


Wearing a real royal palace guard uniform, inspecting the troops foliage. ;D


Looking for a vihta for Finland's next visit? ^^


Practising for another session of Amnesia, judging by the oil lamp. owo;;

(Amnesia is a Swedish horror game. I only manage to play for 10 minutes at a time! Dx)



"Damn monsters... c'me and have a go. I dare you!"


*practise swings*


"Enough fooling 'round, hope to see you at B.L.Y.G. '11." *runs off to find his wife Finland*


From Sweden, with love (=_=)" ♥

OH MY GOD I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS HAPPENING
I AM SO GOING THERE FUCK YES
/FELLOW SWEDE HERE

Also, nice cosplay!

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Hahahaa! xDD

I'll see you on the 17th, I take it? ;Dp

Thank you very much, I'll pass on your compliment to my friend! ^_~

[yaoi-queen.livejournal.com]

I just gotta say: GO SWEDEN! :D

And here I thought my state, California, was the only location (other than Japan) in the world with a convention dedicated to yaoi. I'm quite pleased to see that other nations embrace that genre on such a large scale. :D Have fun at the con! You make an awesome Sweden!

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

I assume you mean Yaoi-con, oooooh... I've wanted to go there for several YEARS now! Dx Damn you, Atlantic Ocean... *shakes fist at it* Dx

I said to myself that if I couldn't go to Yaoi-con, Yaoi-con would have to come to me ;D I'll tell my friend who cosplayed for the sole purpose of this post that you liked her as Sweden! Thank you so much for your kindness ^^ ♥

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Fantabulous!! :DDD

See you on the 17th!! o/

[zacloud.livejournal.com]

Not in Sweden, but just had to comment on how great those photos were. :D Bot the subject and the photographer did an excellent job! Great cosplay, and beautiful compositions of the photos! :3

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your kind words ^__^ She was so nice to do this photo shoot, I'll pay your compliments forward to her and her sister (the photographer)! ;D

[happygaylord.livejournal.com]

Ååh, vill dit!
Får försöka drag mig dit nästa år istället~!

Du skall inte till Uppcon då? X3

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Komsi komsi~~ ^3^
Det här blir tredje gången jag arrangerar B.L.Y.G., men jag brukar inte ha tid/ork att göra det mer än vart annat år. ^^; (Har hållit det 2007 och 2009 tidigare). Det aldrig tidigare funnits så många programpunkter som i år, du kommer ångra dig om du missar det! x3;;

Och jo, jag ska till Uppcon. Gissa vad jag ska ha för mig... ... jo, sälja yaoi för Staffars Serier, haha! xD; *obotlig*

[happygaylord.livejournal.com]

Aww... Jag som är fattig i år! T _ T
Buhuu~, nu blir jag ju ledsen!

Men det får bli något annat år... Alla mina pengar går åt till Uppcon! XD


Aah, trevligt, haha!

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Come now, we need representatives for Sweden's nether regions ;D And I'm sorry, I can't help being born here xP

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Sweden's nether regions can invade me any time... *giggle snorts* xDD

Bah! A little more action, please! Check out B.L.Y.G. '11's website, see all the fantabulous activities, live shows, concerts, competitions etc that we're having! ^3^ &heats;

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

Why can't England have a yaoi con?! Wish I could go to Sweden. -pout-

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

We've got two visitors (so far) coming over from England! You'd be more than welcome to participate ^w~ ♥

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

I really wish I could but I doubt I could get there ;.; If I had known prior I'd have totally gone.
Will it ever be on again?

[jildingroi.livejournal.com]

I most certainly hope so and when that day comes, I'll be happy to see you there! :D

// The very hot (In several ways *wink*) Su-san cosplayer from teh pics ;)

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

I hope so too! I'll bring a friend along.

Haha you look awesome! I think I have your wig. Is it from fantasysheep?

[jildingroi.livejournal.com]

Do so, the more the merrier ^^

Haha, thank you! <3 And yes, the wig is from fantasysheep (as I remember it at least) You my friend have great taste in wigs ;)

[julesie-g.livejournal.com]

Why thank you. The wig is awesome. I later bought a Canada one from another site but sadly I don't like it. It really looks like a wig in the front centre x.x I'm not sure how to fix it.

Kyaa, this just made me miss Lights Out for the nth time this year :(

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry~ ;3; Btw, which "Lights Out" do you mean? xD; I tried checking wikipedia, but there were quite a few options to choose from. ^^;

[blue-cage.livejournal.com]

Sorry I didn't specify earlier. Lights out was the name of the local yaoi con in the Philippines. The last one happened more than a year ago - I got to attend four out of the six (seven?) cons they had.

[disneyotaku.livejournal.com]

THEY HAVE YAOI CONS?!?!?!?!?! MY STATE SO NEEDS ONE!!

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

*sneaks over to your profile* FLORIDA DOESN'T HAVE A YAOI CONVENTION!??!? O___o

How is that even possible?! xD Go make one, now! *whips*

(Or come to ours ;D ♥)

[disneyotaku.livejournal.com]

NO THEY DO NOT
DDDDDDDDDDDDD;

Trust me, I would if I could! You are so lucky!

[hloke.livejournal.com]

Please tell me this is a annual event... I really really really would like to go but, alas, no time! Great cosplay, thanks for sharing.

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Er, nearly. x3;; So far I've hosted it every second year. (2007 and 2009 so far). I'd love to make it an annual event, but it takes a lot of time and effort... and I'm a lazy person, so... D;

[hloke.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I can wait... just share pics! ;) And you do it by yourself?!? Wow, congratulations! *praises your iniciative!*

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, we'll have at least two photographers running around documenting the event! ;3

Mneeh, almost! xD; I'm the "huvudarrangör", together with dancing_moon. I did it alone in 2009. ^_^ ♥




It was my idea from the start, though o///o

[jildingroi.livejournal.com]

Oh my, I guess I managed to pull that one off smoothly ^^
Thank you guys <3

[exorcistor.livejournal.com]

You're making me wish that I could cosplay Hetalia instead of working in the café, damn you 8( I am SO HYPED, it's gonna be awesome!

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Cosplay on your break? ;D ♥

Hohohoho~~ Let's make it happen~~!! \o/

[exorcistor.livejournal.com]

I doubt I'll have time for many breaks ^^; And even if I do, I think I'll have the most fun hanging with the Café-folks either way, so! :P

[shake-it-buddy.livejournal.com]

Well, that's alright then ^^ You can cosplay for me, in private~? ♥

*leer* 8D~~~~~~

[xakira.livejournal.com]

WOW, WOW, WOW.. You're a REALLY REALLY GOOD cosplayer... Sweden fits in you very well, I love it!!!

A-aha, sorry for my bad english, greetings!!

[jildingroi.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much hun! ;)

[pikangie.livejournal.com]

:o I wish I could go, but I doubt I can travel that far at the moment... I hope they have them in the future, because it would be a few years before I could ever travel to any European countries. I would go to the Yaoi convention in Sweden, then go to the penis museum in Iceland. 8D
