Dcon 2014: Donna costume
It would figure; the simplest costume is the one I screw up. It really needs some tweaks before I wear it again – I was really unhappy with the way the trim was laying especially on the bustline, so I want to switch out for something not so bulky that will lay flat. It was also causing the back to…

4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon
4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon Vortex! I love going here, good food. (I thought I had a picture of Kevin eating here at Momocon but i can’t find it.) We also like Max Lager’s. This year those were the only two major places we ate – we brought a mini fridge with us and…

3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year
3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year This year I got Joel, Frank and Trace’s autographs on Tom Servo, so they’ll be my pick of course. And Trace drew Crow which made my Crow-fangirl self super happy.

Dcon 2014: Rogue costume
I literally only have one decent picture of this costume. The other ones we took are blown out (can’t see the star) and have I have a huge hair shadow across my face. I wore this for about 2 hours friday afternoon – and had intended on wearing it again late friday or saturday night. But I couldn’t convince myself…

Dcon 2014: Marie Antoinette TARDIS costume
Well this one isn’t NEW but it’s updated and I’m really pleased with it! When I first did the TARDIS dress back in 2011, my plan was to create a couple of other underskirts to wear with it, so I could be different versions of the TARDIS. Well I never got around to that – mostly because I hate painting…

Dcon 2014: Peggy Carter costume
First wrap-up on one of the new costumes – Peggy ! I was super pleased with how it came out. It was relatively comfortable – outside of being insanely hot. It wasn’t too bad as long as I was inside – even in the oven that is the Marriott – but outside was no bueno. I had to leave both…

Dcon 2014: Megara
I wore Megara for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon. Nothing major. It was more comfortable than half of my other costumes and I almost put it back on Sunday, but decided I didn’t feel like messing with the sandals. I wish I’d had time to fix the pleats on the dress before Dragoncon but alas – I’ll have to…

Dcon 2014: Shadowcat
Ya’ll don’t even KNOW how excited I was to bring Shadowcat back to Dragoncon. As I’ve mentioned, Shadowcat was my first superhero costume for my first Dragoncon in 2002. I’ve been playing around with the idea since Dragoncon 2011. But never had a good excuse to until I got to be part of a very awesome 80s X-Men group this…

Dcon 2014: Dr Forrester
I wore this both Thursday night – to take advantage of my crazy hair from Marie Antoinette – and Saturday afternoon (only for a few minutes). I’ve got a few more pics of Dr F coming soon from Chase. I didn’t wear it terribly long on Thursday because Tom made my arm pretty sore LOL And I threw it on…

2 Days After: Something that helps you recover from DragonCon or from post-con depression
2 Days After: Something that helps you recover from DragonCon or from post-con depression Snuggling up on the couch, eating junk food, watching movies and just chilling. Something I usually haven’t been able to do for a few months without feeling guilty I’m not working on costumes. Also, looking at photos!

Dcon 2014: Emma costume
So last year I did all these little updates to Emma – mostly fixing the issue with the bottoms not reaching the corset, the cape closures. And then I didn’t wear it last year. I made sure to bring it back this year and got into it on Saturday afternoon. However, after all that, I only wore it for maaaaaaybe…

Dcon 2014: Donna Noble Costume
Starting out with some of my older costumes – less thoughts that way which is good cuz I don’t think my brain is fully functioning again yet. So, nothing really new with the costume except the wig. My hair’s gotten way to long for Donna as I mentioned before – so I got a wig late last year. A few…

Lucky Number 13
This year was weird. The bad: -First and foremost, Ash wasn’t there. It just made the weekend feel off. -The crowds were really heavy. To the point I wasn’t comfortable rewearing Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn as the weekend wore on. And it’s not so much the amount of people – it’s the lack of crowd control. Dragoncon could easily…

Final Dragoncon Line-up
Last schedule thoughts: Friday I will definitely be at the Vintage Vogue Fashion Show, so I’ll be over at the Hilton from 12:30-2:30. If I can manage I’ll try to wear Anne a little longer than that, otherwise I’ll probably be in her again Sunday. Saturday I’ll be at the USO Girls/WWII shoot at 12:30 as Peggy, and later that…
