I know I've done similar before... and this won't be just a rehashing of my original "con report." A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, "oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a skirt, so I wore jeans and did nothing with my ...
This is the last story I can think of from our first Dragoncon; my body paint issue. I've talked about it before, but here it goes again. So I'd been wanting to do my Ocha costume for a while by that point. I finally decided to dig in and do it for Dragoncon, since it seemed a better fit for that con than the anime cons I'd previously been going ...
Today I'm going to tell yall about the photo gauntlet. Dragoncon 2002's masquerade was not my first costume contest, but as it was my first Dragoncon, it was my first time participating in their masquerade. Ash and I signed up just for fun, because - back then, we ALWAYS did some kind of costume contest (we'd done Urd and Skuld in the hall costume contest at Otakon just a couple ...
Dragoncon put up their official gallery, and I found these two of me and ash that I loved !! This one, back a ways, and darker than the others, but I think it looks really neat. And my dress looks all cool flowing behind me here. And this closer up one, which looks like it's from the same photographer that did the softer focus one I had already found. I really ...
Hee!! There was a Rincewind at dragoncon that I didn't see! I wanted dad to go as Rincewind but he hasn't read those books. I think he'd do it if I really wanted him to... so maybe next year? And here's a nice one of me & Ash... I really like this pic. I got a bonus point in class today. The teacher showed us a slide, and says, "Who ...
I finally got my Arwen fabric today. Got a pattern, too. We wandered all over the store looking for fabric the right colour - we were about to give up and plan to meet at the other Hancock's tomorrow, when we found exactly what I was looking for in the Halloween section. It was even cheap! $4 a yard plus 30% off. I got some light blue suede for the underpart and ...
I have friday off, whoo!! I am going to try to take part of my DC film in today so that I can have it back by friday to show it off. *bounces*
Dragon*con rocked. There's a few pics and my report up at my regular livejournal. And yeah, ash won her first award!!! "Best Classic Female" in my old Leia costume!!! HEHE!!! (in the Star Wars costume contest) I got "Best Ep. II Female" and "Most Beautiful." HA! Funny.
report... sort of preliminary, as I remember things I'll have to go back and add them. Friday Friday saw us up at 4:30 AM to drive to the airport to catch our 6:30 flight. We got to the airport and checked in... we had perfect timing, as soon as we walked up to the gate they called our seats and we got to go sit right down. Nothing to mention about the ...
Ok, so I just got back from dragoncon (it's 12:30 now, as soon as I finish writing this I'm going to BED.) While the entire weekend had more than it's share of moments, I just had to post these as soon as I got home. Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll write up a full report before I forget everything. Anyway... These particular memories will stay with me forever and ever and ever and ...
