GeekGirlCon 2011

[GeekGirlCon Map]

GeekGirlCon is this Saturday and Sunday (Oct 8th & 9th) people!!! I am on the center aisle, right in the middle. More directions are here: http://www.geekgirlcon.com/con/northwest-rooms-seattle-center-maps/. I will have lots of Middleman "Pike" posters and Firefly and Farscape fanarts and my typical overabundance of prints and charms and stickers. And bookmarks. No one ever buys the bookmarks, you know, so there will always be bookmarks.

And, if that wasn't incentive enough, I will be wearing my Wendy Watson costume on Saturday (Middleman in tow). It is an awesome costume. Seriously. You are going to want to see it. :D

Yes, this is Wendy Watson and The Middleman. This particular scene is loosely derived from my favorite episode, the Flying Fish Zombification.

I made it for GeekGirlCon 2011 ( http://geekgirlcon.com/ ) this weekend, and barring crippling shyness I will get it signed by @okbjgm. And you can buy one if you come to GGC, for your own signing adventures. At my table. Which I will post a map of later. ^^

Halloween Costumes 2010

These costumes were a blast to make and 'shopping the photos to make them look like authentic publicity stills was one of those gleeful Tank Girl moments where I thought, "You know, I could make a living doing this!" ^^

If you don't recognize us, these two characters are The Middleman and Wendy Watson from the eponymous ABC Family TV show ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Middleman_%28TV_series%29 ) - since cancelled. They fight evil. And monsters. And robots. And aliens. Under the guise of the Jolly Fats Weehawkin Temp Agency. And Wendy ("Dubbie") paints on the side.

Technical Details:
  • The jackets were made from the Yugo Officer Army Dress Tunic at armynavydeals.com. I had to chop them up a bit (especially mine) to make them look right and buy new buttons (and then spray-paint them silver/black, because I am too obsessive).
  • The guns were just nerf knockoffs from Target that I spray-painted black and silver (and may I say, that they make plastic-specific spray paint now just made my day? :) ). They still worked and a little kid at the party last night spent the whole evening shooting people with foam darts after I loaned him my gun (he had damn fine aim, too!).
  • Everything else was just JCPenney or Target. Although I had to get my skinny tie on Amazon because I wanted a *really* skinny tie.
