Otakon is over, and I apologize for not making any updates since... ::looks:: July 12! So sorry about that... things got crazy, then the con came and went, and then my health just started degrading faster than before. As such, I've spent a lot of time in doctor's offices or lying around feeling sorry for myself.
Anyway, the costumes DID get done in time!!! It's amazing, I still don't really know how it happened. I was up until 3:00am the morning of the con working on Ellen's headgear, which ended up falling apart about 10 minutes after I put it on Friday. I ended up going to the con without it, then attacked it with hot glue and wire later that night at the hotel. I'm happy to say after that it lasted the remainder of the weekend!!
Note to new cosplayers: always, ALWAYS bring your toolbox! We've been doing this for 3 years now and inevitably I have needed my tools at least once a weekend at every con. Stuff inevitably breaks, and it's awesome to have your supplies at the hotel.
If you want to see them, head over to the Gallery page!
Overall, these costumes were mostly comfortable to wear and a few people actually recognized us. Hooray for Folklore fans!! ♥
