Picture Kaleidoscope 2/12/14 - The SciFi Expo 2014 Edition

Yeppers, last weekend was SciFi Expo!
I didn't see any of the stars (wah) but there were some really great costumes. And I probably only saw 10% of them.

Isn't that cool? He made it himself.

Super cool Green Hornet. :)

My daughter made several unique creations during the show. :)

Luke was well dressed for the shindig. It was super cold outside and the inside stayed that way most of Saturday. Eek!

Dead Spock from DuggGraves. Even has the ears. Heh heh

Doesn't the griffin just look fabulous?!

Scarecrow and the Joker. His mask was awesome!

This one is fantastic too. And the attitude totally sold it. Medusa!

Judge Dredd is in the house!

From the Princess Bride - the looked great! He even said "As you wish." But no threats from Indigo Montoya. Guess I didn't look like the guy who killed his father. Heh heh

Super blast from the past - She-ra!

Kiki from Kiki's delivery service. I spotted her with a broom earlier too. 

Best part of this costume was how she sold it with attitude. So cute!

The Riddler - he was fabulous! Even hit us with a riddle. 

Best Donna Noble look alike ever! 

Our 4th Dalek mesh from Taylor Lymbery. Isn't she awesome? Meet Chief Cher Dalek. Hee!

More ChibiChains creations

These I loved so much, I stole them for myself. Bwahahahaha!

Here they are in bronze and red. 

Another chainmailer definitely knew how to think outside the box. Aren't these adorable?

Chainmail dragons too! How cute!

With this great costume turnout at SciFi Expo, I can't wait to see what happens during Dallas ComicCon in May! (Stan Lee, William Shatner, and Nathan Fillion will be at this one!) Woot!

Picture Kaleidoscope 2/13/13 - The Scifi Expo 2013 Edition

Scifi Expo!
The Scifi Expo was this past weekend. So the camera was out and busy!

Bruce Boxlightner was in the dealers room so I got to try and take a pic or two.

Kevin Sorbo was nearby as well. They both still look amazing. :)

Queen Amidala

She really did an awesome job!

Kitty Pride from the X-Men. Too cute!

Sir Balin of Chaos.

Rocketeer!

Awesome Steampunk!

The dark elf was fantastic. The pics don't do her justice.

Trying to catch some of her bling.

Star Trek with BITE!

Fencon (SF/F Convention in the fall) and ORAC (Local Dr Who group) table. 

Don't mess with this guy!

Joe Dalek. 

Fellow author Rhonda Eudaly. One of the Four Redheads of the Apocalypse. :)

Some of my other neighbors - Stratum Comics! Nice peeps!

No idea why this loaded sideways. Argh! Anyway, we had a gag going all weekend with artist and toy maker Taylor Lymbery. Saturday it was Wonder Dala (Imagine the previous Queen Amidala pic with a WW tiara and a golden lasso and bracers.) Sunday degenerated to Wonder Dalek, then Damidala. And there she is in her resplendent finery. (We're trying to talk the Fencon peeps into letting Joe Dalek Cosplay! Hee!)

Panoramic View of our surroundings on Saturday before the masses were allowed inside. heh.

My daughter (ChibiChains) was sharing my table and she had some new bling she'd created for the expo. 

Neighbors across the isle - tons of zombie weapons, signed pictures, and jewelry and other homemade goods.

Mad Moxcie from Borderlands 2 - her costume was AWESOME! She even has the tip jar. 

Green Arrow

Backside of the dark elf costume.

Ororo (Storm) from the X-Men. Isn't it fab?

Double trouble!

Taylor Lymbery and Marvin Dog Media - nice guys!

And this upcoming weekend is ConDFW! Whee!
