I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule.
October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we all go out to the Nashville Zoo and work as volunteers out there.
We’re planning on going up for that. I’m going to take Belle to wear to the zoo again, it was such a big hit last year. I’m also taking Kingdom Come Wonder Woman for Sunday – not necessarily for the comic show. I want to take it out to the Parthenon at Centennial Park for some photos – what better backdrop than the Parthenon, I mean really. (this is where most of my nice Belldandy manga dress pictures were taken, back in 2004.) I’m excited about that!
But as for actually wearing Saturday at the Comic Show — I don’t know. Open to suggestions. It’s got to be something fairly easy for me to get into on the fly – like I said, this is at the fairgrounds, so there’s not a good changing area and the public restrooms are frightening.
So now that I wrote an essay on that, onto the actual weekend before Halloween — we’re staying here in Memphis for that. We’re going to our church’s Trunk-or-Treat Saturday night, and all of us are still trying to come up with a group costume. Right now it’s either Gilligan’s Island, or Superheroes. If it’s Superheroes I’ll wear Wonder Woman – and if we do Gilligan’s Island, Chase and I have been cast as Mr and Mrs Howell. LMAO.
We’re also going to go to the Memphis Zoo’s Boo at the Zoo event, although for that we’re just going as attendees (ie, paying to get in) and not volunteers. I’ll either wear Belle (if it’s cooler out) or Wonder Woman. Chase will be in Vader.
Halloween night proper we’ll be handing out candy at my aunt’s house – I’m wearing blue Belle for that. I’ll probably also wear it to work that day, just without the wig! LOL, or maybe I’ll wear Marion to work! Nah, Belle.
I’m sure we’ll do the big Gallatin Christmas parade in December. If we can get enough people together, we may do the Collierville parade here in town – although, like Chase said, if it’s just four people, we look kinda like lame geeks, LOL.
And that’s it for this year.
Next year:
Con Nooga in Feb! I have no idea what I’m taking to this year, obviously, it’s too far out — but as I’ve said before, I’m one of the cosplay guests 🙂 It sounds like they are building up a fun con.
MidSouthCon in March – we are throwing a little party there. I’m aiming ot finish Bespin Leia for this. I need to get started.
Adventurecon in June – if it’s in June again, which I guess it will be. We may go, not sure yet. Depends on what the rest of the group is doing.
And of course Dragoncon 🙂
