(this post was updated 12/27/13 with new post-Dragoncon 2013 info!) I'm doing two FAQ Fridays today, since someone asked about DragonCon, and I want to post it before the con this year! Today's question is... Do you have any tips for a newbie attending DragonCon for the first time this year? (more…)
One of the questions I get a lot from random people is how do I wear so many costumes at Dragoncon? (On average, I usually wear around 12 costumes at Dragoncon.) Let's say an "average" non-costumer is at Dragoncon for the same amount of time as we are (4 1/2 days). Each day they wear a different change of clothes. Each night, they change into pajamas or whatever they sleep in. So, a ...
So last night I dreamt that I was at Dragoncon with my Donna wedding dress still in the state it currently is. I was freaking out because it wasn't finished, particularly because I didn't have a veil. So I'm in the hotel room, trying to hot glue scraps of chiffon together to make a veil (for some reason I had a bag of fabric scraps...). Chase is there, telling me ...
Dragon*Con Questionnaire What’s your badge name? kelldar I think it is anyway. I may have changed it this year. I can’t remember at all. Where are you staying? Marriott - been there every year since 2002. What day are you arriving/leaving? Arriving Wednesday leaving either Monday or Tuesday. Will you be cosplaying? What days? As whom? (edit: photo link was broken, can't find it anywhere, so I've ...
So, I have my Dragoncon costume schedule pretty much finalized. Not sure I'm going to do that fourth one I mentioned; just depends on time and money. But, here's what we stand on them: 1. Romana I As you can see from my most recent post I messed it up! LOL. I ordered more fabric and I'm hoping to have the dress done this weekend, and the cape hopefully done by ...
Dragoncon 2012 pics are up! All of my new costumes have been added (Hocus Pocus, Time Lords, Wasp, Batgirl, Belle, Fluttershy), and updates to old costumes have been made (Romana II, Donna Noble, Emma Frost). Now to start planning for GMX!
My 11th Dragoncon is in the books and it was another great year! So here's my little report/pics/whatever you want to call it. We got into Atlanta Wednesday morning, got checked in and unpacked. Keep reading: (more…)
I put together this little pic of me at dragoncon for the past 10 years.
Here's a basic list of what I'm bringing and when I'm thinking of wearing it! Thursday: Slave Leia, Romana II Friday: Ms Marvel, Batgirl, Belle, Emma Frost Saturday: Donna Noble (Journey's End), Surprise #1, Wasp, Surprise #2 Sunday: Hippolyta, Belle, Batgirl Monday: Donna Noble (Silence in the Library) I only have a few photoshoots this year (tried to keep it to one or two), so I'll mostly just be wearing things ...
Almost every year, when I post my Dragoncon planned costumes, I always get a few comments or questions regarding how I manage to wear so many costumes. Well I'm going to tell you my secret... at conventions, I really don't do much of anything else but wear costumes.
