Wizard World Comic Con: New Orleans 2012

My friend's daughter as Amelia Pond in front of the TARDIS

Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans came twice this year. Once again, there were some great celebrity guests, but my favorite thing to do at comic cons is to check out all of the costumes. Alex and I wore our Dalek and TARDIS dresses. It was a bit difficult to take photos of costumes when you're being stopped to take photos as well, but here are a few pictures I snagged with my phone:

This was given to me at the con by a girl who was super excited about my dalek dress and she drew this for me! How sweet is that!?! This now has a permanent spot on my fridge!

Is it time for Dragon*Con again, yet??!? I'm anxious for next year. Alex and I managed to pull together my Dalek dress to go with her TARDIS dress for the con this year. I made these pill box hats from sheets of felt and recruited the help of my dad to figure out lighting. They came out super cute and I'm excited to add to the costumes and keep them in cosplay rotation. We also had some female doctor who costumes, but those were way too hot and didn't last long in Labor Day Atlanta heat... Next costume project: classy femme Boba Fett!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Dragon*Con weekend. I loved meeting so many great and interesting people! Never a dull moment!

Dragon*Con 2011 in Atlanta, GA

For those of you who don't get the reference, our costumes are from the episode "The Empty Child" from Season 1 of Doctor Who. Alex found these sweet authentic WWII British civilian issued gas masks somewhere online. So we cleaned them and then gutted the respirator with my dad's can opener from the army for opening MRE's, to get all of the charcoal, mesh, and junk out.
