    DragonCon pics

    I had a great time and thought I'd share the pictures. There were so many great costumes I missed, because the event was huge. The iPhone sub-album is from me helping the Replica Prop Forum cover the show for their Facebook page, so I was using that to upload pics. They're not as good quality, but I had no other way to post pics right then and there.

      Yeah, after what Nate had to go through to get his hair that light, I'm never actually dying mine blonde. That was just spray stuff and a hairpiece I was wearing. I liked the lipstick I picked out for Pearl too. But I could definitely go without the Mimi Bobek blue eye makeup. I wish I could go every year. It was a fun time.

              Great photos! At least you remembered to take photos. Sometimes you get overwhelmed when in costume that you forget to use your camera. Someday we'll have to meet up at a convention, Amy!

              Did you meet a lot of people from the RPF?

                I don't know how to photo editing, but I've been playing with Photobucket's features. I want to clip out the two Flashes and insert them in the actual comic book cover. So far, I haven't gotten great results, but I'm still trying. If I ever get it right, I'm going to print it out and frame it for my friend(the Golden Age Flash in the pictures).

                I met a few, but the place was so big that I missed a lot of them, especially since I didn't get to the parade. There were several who I thought I recognized and they were moving too fast, on the skywalk(stopping and photos are discouraged) or had too big a crowd to even get close. Kerr Avon recognized my costume and said hi. I got to meet Laamberry(SheHulk in the pics) and MattMunson at the DC photoshoot, which I was really happy about. I also met MrSinistar, with his fabulous Bot replicas. He knew I was going with an MST3k group and we had plans to meet before the Frank Conniff/Trace Beaulieu panel. We hung out most of the day, and I love the pictures we got with him.

                      The girl with the pot on her head is me as Ma Hunkel, the Golden Age Red Tornado.

                        Your Ma Hunkel costume is one of my favourite and most unique superhero costumes out there.

                        I think it would be awesome to see it and the Golden Age Sandman costume at Mego Meet one year!

                          Aw thanks Ed! This is one of my favorite costumes. I don't know if Nate would ever go to MegoMeet as the Sandman. Between the hood, gas mask, and overcoat, that outfit is very warm, especially in that little area.

                              Let's see...I've gotten, "Hi there, um...Mister Bucket...Man."
                              "Are you the superhero guy from Fat Albert?" (I have NO idea what that's supposed to mean.)
                              "Wow, it's Forbush Man!"
                              "Now that's an original take on Iron Man!"
                              There's also an indy comic artist who sometimes shows up in Pittsburgh. He created a character named Buckethead, and the one year, he was in costume as the character. We stood on the show floor and fought over who was stealing whose look.
                              I think my favorite from DragonCon was the older woman who walked up to me, obviously very amused with her own wit, and said, "Didn't anyone tell you...teeheehee...to stay off pot?"

                              I've also noticed that there are a few other people who wear this costume, but so far, I'm the only one with a metal pot. The others are spraypainted plastic.
