October’s New York Comic Con is steadily approaching and I have a dilemma… OMG, what to wear??? Geeks like me go about this the same way other gurls pick out prom dresses or ball gowns. By the way, I’ve picked out a ball gown before, it took me all of five minutes and my wedding dress probably took all of ten.
So, picking one’s attire for Comic Con is way more thought-provoking, and needs careful consideration. I have beaucoup de ideas. Looking cute is semi-important, I mean I’m still a girl… but I do want to be respected. No bewbs pouring out of my top, and also no zombie-like oozing gashes across my face. I want to be free to wear whatever I want, but I also don’t want to scare little children or embarrass my youngling to tears. I keep seeing Padme’s white jumpsuit from Attack of the Clones in my head, but that’s so unoriginal. Or, I could do like my mother and combine lots of my favorite things, and be completely original! Will I be a superhero, and alien, a wizard, a mystical fairy, a vampire, a female centaur, a zombie, an ork, a tv sci-fi character, a Teen Titan??? OMG, the possibilities!!
I will report back soon with my narrowed down choices. Feel free to suggest something if you’d like.
If you can pull it off (fabrication, etc) one of Queen Amidala’s formal outfits would be rad!
This is a good idea. I think that it would be fun to put together and sew. I love a reason to sew. But one would have to choose an outift that was maneuverable. Thank you for the idea BK. I once decorated (w/decoupage) a large lamp with her costumes from the movies. They were overlaping like a collage <— Nerd.
I’m not going to comic con (sad) but me and friends are already starting to try and plan our attire for PAX in Sept! So many possible ideas and things to consider, it’s crazy!

I know what you mean. I’m going to NYC Comic-Con too, and I’m completely STUCK on what to wear. You keep seeing Queen Amidala, I keep seeing Rogue or Pheonix, AND Harley Quinn. I just can’t make up my mind!!!
