dragoncon2009
Below you’ll find my blog posts and photos about our eighth trip to Dragoncon in 2009. This includes planning, costume construction, photos and trip reports.

Bodycasting, & New Belle & Padme White Backdrop Pics
In order to do my new Wonder Woman parts, Chase wanted to take a body cast of me. (Also will be for things in the future) So we did that today… it was so gross. And the best part? I totally passed out. For just a second or two, but I’ve never passed out before in my life, even last…

Dcon Rooms & Trooping
Dragoncon 2009 rooms booked as of 11pm last night LOL. Apparently everyone started calling at 11/midnight Atlanta time – Chase said the woman on the phone said they were swamped with calls. We are headed to Nashville this weekend – Monday we are doing some promo stuff for the hockey game our garrison is doing in November – I guess…
