I seem to have less stories in later years, because a lot of the later years run together more. I don't know why that is. We're already onto Dragoncon 2006 stories now. This was my first year I wasn't rooming with the girls - I was staying with my BOYFRIEND who I'd met at Dragoncon the year before ;) I didn't include that as a story because I've already told it numerous ...
All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji... yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also got pics with WF&DT! He makes such a ...
Chase's turtle turned out soooo good! I'm so impressed. When he said he wanted to do this costume, as a surprise I put together an April O'Neil costume. I wasn't going to tell him, I was just going to put it on at the con when he put on the turtle. But of course I ended up telling him. LOL Not much to this... I found this vintage yellow bell-bottomed, ...
Everybody who knows me knows I've been wanting to do this costume for some time LOL I went into this thinking, oh, it'll be quick! Haha, yeah right. Started out with just a basic white robe first. Lined the sleeves with white satin. Then it was time to stamp. I never did figure out *exactly* what the pattern was on the real thing - I ended up going with a ...
Out of all my new costumes for Dragoncon, this was my favourite! I'm very proud of how it turned out. It was fun and comfortable to wear, and for the first time ever I had 10 year old boys wanting their picture with me. LMAO. We painted the helmet ages ago. Here's my helmet in-progress: > Here's my vest in-progress: My vest and collar armor on the dressform (with the Belle ...
Well, for Belle-dar it's a wrap-up, not so much for Beast. But anyway. When Chase and I decided to make a Beast costume for him, and wanted it to be for the masquerade, I couldn't enter the same old Belle I'd entered last year, so I embarked to make some upgrades to it. This was a chance for me to get it a tad closer to the Disney on Ice ...
Back to our regularly scheduled Dragoncon pics! Got to sleep in a little bit Sunday morning. We got up and I put on Rogue for the X-Men photoshoot, and Chase stayed in normal clothes to play photographer. I was absolutely stunned by how many people showed up for the X-Men photoshoot! Me and Kitty! This is just part of the group! Rogues! Then we went over for the cosplay.com ...
Saturday morning was the parade! I had to iron that monster of my lake dress, and we didn't really get my hair on right - we were in a hurry because we were running late! Neither of us went to the 501st pic, but by the time we got to the staging area, the parade was just starting, so that was lucky! Since the Rebel Legion and 501st march last, ...
I'm home from Dragoncon! I got home yesterday and had to work, so I came home and pretty much crashed. It was a great weekend! We did dub it "The Weird Dragoncon" because we didn't do thinks like we normally did. I'm working on getting my pics up while here at home. I just got my wisdom teeth out at 10 this morning - only the two on the right side. ...
It's so strange being able to pack my costumes - and not have to worry about shipping or airlines! This is the first time I've driven to Dcon, and the first time in a looong time I've not shipped costumes or had to store things in my luggage. It's an odd experience, but a good one. Chase's costume is almoooooost there. Just a few more things. I just finished my ...
