Dragoncon 2004 parade - we decided to walk with the LOTR group! This worked out since I had Arwen I wanted to wear, the mums had their hobbit costumes, and Ash got talked into wearing a cape and accompanying me to handle my train. My Arwen costume was very long and very white, so to keep it from getting destroyed by walking on the pavement, I made a drop skirt out ...
OH. MY. GOD. Dragoncon 2003, still. The three of us were trying to figure out WHERE we could get Anne McCaffrey's autograph, since Ash and I wanted it for our moms, who were big fans. We couldn't figure out where or when she was signing, so after a bit of wandering around and digging through the guidebooks, we decided to ask. So, here I am, wearing Ruby Heart. Basically a pirate ...
So far all of my Dragoncon 2003 stories sound a whole lot like whining. I promise you that isn't true. All of these stories make me laugh, then and now. But just to balance out some of the whining-type stories, here's a less complain-y one. Dragoncon 2002, Ash and I had missed out on Evening at Bree. We had wanted to go, gone downstairs and stood in line, but after a volunteer ...
This is one of my all time favourite Dragoncon stories. Dragoncon 2003 was just me, Cath and Ash. We had a hell of a time that year. Monday rolled around, we packed up, had them pick up my costumes to ship them out, and checked out of our room - but, our f light didn't leave for a few more hours, so we checked our baggage and just hung out for ...
I actually talked about this pretty recently in my blog, but here's the whole story in its entirety. So, I'd been wearing Belldandy to every single convention that year, including shipping those wings to Dallas, Anaheim, and now Atlanta. After the Star Wars costume contest that saturday at Dragoncon, I rushed back to our hotel room - mostly to get out of my Padme headdress, as I mentioned last story ...
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 ...
So as I'm going through my old hard-drives and uploading new versions of my old pics, I've been coming across a LOT of stuff I've never uploaded before. So of course I'm uploading it just to have it available, though not really using it for anything. So, here's my Quidditch uniform on my dressform, for some reason I never used this: And that makes me really sad since I lost ...
I know it's not throwback thursday but my dad emailed me this old picture he found: My old futon bunk bed, my old computer (I spent many an hour playing Sims 1 and doing artwork on that computer), all my Beatles posters, and baby Indy (with colour on her face!) looking up at the stuffed Husky I had gotten in Alaska. She wanted to play with it so bad.
