I dunno if I could do that kind of con or no...Wow.<br /><br />I dunno if I could do that kind of con or not. The crowds. And..you know..the crowds.<br /><br />I guess because I've never had any interest in stuff like autographs or having my picture taken with stars, I'm a lousy candidate for this kind of thing.<br /><br />However, getting into costume? I could get all up in the face of that. <br /><br />Would elf costumes be allowed? Tolkien? I could do something like that. Or Leia..yeah, I could do her. But so many people do Leia that I think it might have less appeal.<br /><br />Trish, you were stunning in that costume. I didn't recognize you, and when I read your text, went NO WAY!<br /><br />Nancy, did you say what that glowing ball is you're standing in front of? I either missed it cuz I was reading fast, or it didn't computer. That's really cool.<br /><br />I could be a serious geek I think, but it's role playing games that would get me (and have gotten me, when I was a younger woman.) Back when the worlds were not so segregated as they are now, and that kind of thing was based on books and comics and not movies really since there weren't that many.<br /><br />But going to a con like this? Hmmm...I dunno. I think it might be fun to experience, and the parade would be way cool. I dunno if I'd ever become a groupie though. <br /><br />Very cool look inside it though.Cassondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420982030156788059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-1765891518242534322010-09-15T21:18:11.020-04:002010-09-15T21:18:11.020-04:00Thanks, ladies!

I'd definitely have to be comfy since it's a con. I think it'd be really fun to dress up as a Browncoat or someone on a Stargate team!

A friend of mine has bought two gorgeous outfits--corsets and gowns made to match in the exhibit halls, and she looks fabulous in them.<br /><br />Again, the length thing is an issue for me, but there's so much beautiful stuff there. I could decorate my entire house with artwork if I had the wall space and the budget.<br /><br />Here is the link for Donato Giancola, the artist guest of honor this year:<br /><br />http://www.donatoart.com/gallery.html<br /><br />All that saved me at his booth was that he had nothing I liked in the small size.

Alas, I did not dress up. I was in observation mode for my first DCon when not at a signing with Sherri.<br /><br />I have to say after having been to Comicon in San Diego that I can see why so many people say DragonCon is more of a "fan" event. Comicon is saturated with Hollywood and outrageous outfits. The fun thing about DragonCon is all the really unusual costumes people made on their own. Some were only a piece of leather and a flap , but many were very creative and some were just mind blowing.Dianna Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053368019978123678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-46463922125631775592010-09-15T12:47:40.209-04:002010-09-15T12:47:40.209-04:00Nancy & Trish - That looks like so much fun! ...Nancy & Trish - That looks like so much fun! One of these years I'm going to make DragonCon. Though not as well versed as Nancy in all things Scifi - I'm a huge fan. I love the imagination and creativity of it all.<br /><br />I'm not a big one to dress up, especially when most scifi women are statuesque. Can't say that I look like anyone...well...maybe one of those teddy-bear creatures from Star Wars. But that costume would be way too hot for Atlanta.<br /><br />Heck with panels and photos. I think I could easily spend my entire weekend in the vendor rooms and art gallery. <br /><br />Fun blog, you two!Donna MacMeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310857800824141312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-91555383939250802502010-09-15T12:23:00.853-04:002010-09-15T12:23:00.853-04:00Trish, thanks for the info on photos.
