- Cosplaying WonderCon 2019: Paper, Spider, Trelawney
For this year’s WonderCon, Katie refined her Professor Trelawney costume from Long Beach. The biggest change: extending the skirt instead of using actual layers, because it was warm in Anaheim. Just for the weekend – it jumped about 10°F just before and was expected to drop 10°F afterward. She remarked, only half-jokingly, that if she’d […]
- A Gallery of Harry Potter Cosplay at WonderCon
There was a lot of Harry Potter cosplay at WonderCon this past weekend! Here are some of my photos, featuring Bellatrix Lestrange, Hagrid, You-Know-Who, Professor Sybill Trelawney (who should look familiar to regular readers!), Hogwarts Professors Dolores Umbridge, Gilderoy Lockhart and Albus Dumbledore; Arthur Weasley, and Rita Skeeter. There are a lot more that I […]
- Professor Trelawney Cosplay at Long Beach Comic Con
Katie’s been talking about dressing up as Professor Trelawney for a while now. She put together the pieces for a costume over the last couple of weeks, and wore them on Saturday at Long Beach Comic Con. It was a huge success! Lots of people recognized the character and wanted photos. We even ran into […]
- WonderCon 2018
It’s been ten years since we first went to WonderCon, back when it was still in San Francisco. At the time I thought it would be fun to come back, but maybe not every year. As it turns out, we’ve kept going back yearly, only missing one! It’s effectively replaced SDCC for us, between the […]
- Whitney Frost Cosplay
The “big bad” of Marvel’s Agent Carter Season 2: Whitney Frost, a scientist/actress who becomes imbued with what she calls Zero Matter, a destructive energy force (just visible in the form of the jet-black scar). She’s adapted from the comic book villain Madame Masque. Like the Once Upon a Time Alice, she doesn’t seem to […]
- It’s a Wonderful Con – WonderCon 2015
WonderCon is like SDCC 15 years ago, a comic con with broad pop culture appeal & media presence but without the hectic pace or crushing crowds.
- Back to the Beach: Long Beach Comic Con (2014)
Photos and writeup: Indie comics, bargains, art, cosplay, Young Justice, and a mobile exhibit for the Flash TV show at this year’s Long Beach Comic Con.
- Cosplay: Alice from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (SDCC 2014)
Katie’s Thursday costume from our 2014 trip to Comic-Con International in San Diego, inspired by Alice’s adventuring outfit in the Once Upon a Time spinoff.
- Just One Day at San Diego Comic-Con 2011
With only a day at Comic-Con, it’s really about the trade-offs. Fewer panels, more floor time: Thundercats, apocalypse, Flash mobs, costumes & collectibles.
- Sir Reynolds of the Wrap
Some people take Renaissance Faire costuming (excuse me, garb) seriously. Others…don’t. Here’s an example of a silly outfit I’ve seen.
- The Paper!
Hall costume for the day: Yomiko Readman, Paper Master — from the anime series Read or Die.
- Strange Sights of Comic-Con
Stormtrooper Elvis meets Sauron, free hugs, the human bulletin board, a crowd of women all wearing the same red dress, and more.
- Pirates vs. Sylar
I’m still attending Comic-Con in civvies, but Katie wore two costumes this year: another update of her pirate outfit on Friday, and a Sylar victim with a telekinetic slice across her forehead. Saturday, of course, for the big Heroes panel. She did the makeup from scratch, using latex and fake blood, and got a lot […]
- Flash Sightings at Comic-Con
I saw quite a few Flash T-shirts in San Diego this year, but only two people dressed as the Flash. Interestingly, both were women.
- Comic-Con Costume Coverage
Have you noticed that media acts like EVERYONE at Comic-Con is in costume? TV shows actually recruit extra cosplayers to stand in the background.
- Cosplay Photos are up (SDCC 2005)
I’ve posted our photos of hall costumes that we saw at this year’s Comic Con, including Katie’s own pirate costume.
