AHA, I'VE FOUND YOU! You gave me nightmares for years after that con!
I've got 1 photo to remind myself :D I even took it to Japan with my
other cosplay photos and showed various "professional" cosplayers I
know and Jesus, they laughed! I don't know if they'd remember but the
staff of the Cure Maid Cafe really enjoyed that picture!

Speaking of which, I've just sent them a box of PG Tips and 2 small
boxes of Harrods tea in the hope they'll try them and tell me if they
prefer the expensive stuff or commoner's tea. I only drink commoner's
tea.

cheerio,
