Dragon*Con: Tonight We Prepare

ACTUALLY, the preparation will take longer than tonight. I'm fairly worn out from the restaurant and do not have all of the supplies necessary to complete such a task.

My first convention was Anime Weekend Atlanta in 2006. In 2007, I went to Dragon*Con for the first time and fell in love. Its a great convention full of great panels, fans, actors(some actors), concerts, and shopping. There's a little bit of everything.

Last year, Jackson dressed up in his LARP character to promote the game he plays in. As much as I love cosplay, I didn't have the time nor money to prepare for the day. I felt a little inadequate, since this was my first large scale convention. This year, I will have a costume. I have set my heart on that matter.

I am a HUGE Trekkie. I adore the TOS or The Original Series. So for my costume, I decided to build (with the help of Jackson) a uniform like the female officers wore. I have sketched the uniform based off of watching TOS and the internet.


I am super excited about my costume! I will publish photos as soon as I can and I will definitely upload photos from the convrntion.
