OK, here are some photos from Arisia this past weekend...
Well, first off, it was really nice to walk into the con and see
THIS right as we came in the door on the flyer table. BTW, did I mention that I'm the "Guest Of Awesome" at Pi-Con? ;-)
Friday night was
octoberland's birthday, and
elionwyr made her wear a birthday tiara.
Two positively ADORABLE teens dressed as Agatha and Gil from GIRL GENIUS (a webcomic that YOU SHOULD BE READING!).
The always beautiful
dredpiratebunny ... she was selling hats on Dealer's Row.
The outside of the room for Brute Force Leather on Dealer's Row.
Two lovely young ladies dressed as Colonial pilots from BSG.
So, do you want to date my AVATAR?
Dusti (
elionwyr ), making with the HAWTNESS.
Jen (
octoberland ), ALSO making with the HAWTNESS.
A bit of a close-up of Jen.
They have legs... they know how to use them. They use them for EVIL!
Lynati (
lynati_1 ), trying to pretend I'm not taking her photo...
Don't I just look Dash Cunning? (And doesn't "Dash Cunning" need to be the name of a Steampunk hero?)
Look! It's Captain Jack... Hammer!
Saturday night was the dance party. If you get a bunch of geeks together, then play "Safety Dance", this is what you get. And, yes, that IS someone dressed as Glinda the Good Witch in the middle.
Dusti giving
slipjig a taste. Later on, she ate his brain.
This photo of Jen is just more proof that she's effin' GORGEOUS! (Jen, I'm going to tidy this one up a little and offer it to you to use as you wish!)
The always beautiful
felisdemens , looking like some futuristic assassin ready to kick your ass. Which is what she is. :-)
The lovely Jen, whose LJ name I totally forget, as I'm a doofus.
OMG! It's Kevin Smith
mgrasso!
The lovely Tina, who actually gave me the OK to post a photo of her for once!
A very cool Snape. The light wasn't photoshopped... he actually HAD a light up wand!
Dr. Who takes a holiday.
This woman's costume was positively amazing... she was so damned good on those stilts she was even able to take the hotel escalator!
Ever wonder what Harley Quinn would have looked like in The Dark Knight? Well, she probably would have looked like this lovely lady here!
And here!
My single favorite photo from the con.
Lyn thought that this tickled.
Lucky, lucky guy!
I was actually impressed with how CAREFUL she was in doing this... those claws were actually sharp, but the good Captain there insisted on the pose.
Dusti snuggling an mgrasso. She later tried to slip him a mickey and smuggle him out in a duffle bag, but was stopped at the border.
An example of the wonderful hall costuming going on.
Lisa's (
sylvari ) daughter, who's name escapes me. I think she was trying for pin-up, but she looks more like she sees Godzilla over my shoulder...
A magnificent fairie outfit, for sale from Tom at Brute Force.
Someone tried to build a fort from movie posters on the freebie table...
The lovely Lynati... she bought this dress from The Slutty Mermaid (No, I'm not being mean... that's the name of the vendor!)
She also bought this one. Va-va-voom!
Don't mess with the Lyn!
Gie and Coe. They are just absolutely freakin' adorable.
pixel is a series of tubes...
And the bee-you-tee-full Vicki (
auntiemame67 ).
Finally, while this one was actually from Pi-Con last year, I haven't had the chance to post it, and Jen made me feel all guilty about it. But she DOES look lovely in it, doesn't she?
Later will be stories, recollections, and even some video!
