 The adorable Finn the Human! Mark made his costume, and I am so amazed by how AWESOME that sword turned out!! Just like on the show! (he actually carved, fitted and painted all the wood himself!)

 "When I look at you, my brain goes all stupid!"

"You would defy nature for me?"

 Went to a party where Ice King and Princess Bubblegum showed up!

Also, I thought it merited more attention, so:

 My Flame Princess wig! Felting wool on styrofoam over baseball cap.

Halloween/Dragon*Con 2011: Flash Gordon and Princess Aura

Me as pictured on the cnn.com article "A Higher Level of Costuming"

This year for Dragon*Con/Halloween I made myself a Princess Aura costume from the movie Flash Gordon, and outfitted Colin in several "Flash" items (t-shirt, khaki pants, watch, sneakers, and of course, bleached blonde hair).

The costume was a big success and I won Jim Steranko's Judge's Choice Award in the Comic Book Babes contest! :)
