I only ever went to Necro in Brandon anyways.Best visit was when I got to meet Peter Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn and have my picture taken with him. However, I wrote this reply because I wanted to say to you that your (not so) far fetched plan of having John dress up as a white backdrop is not totally a fantasy dream... there are these guys out there... http://www.adorama.com/WEMP4872W.html?gclid=CLv82pCT9MYCFUyPHwodBMYABQ.

AmIright? :) B&H Photo is probably going to be your best source for these types of things though.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846544336053953928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-33343698642941779182015-07-15T03:20:53.132-04:002015-07-15T03:20:53.132-04:00Also, they're usually available at your local ...Also, they're usually available at your local library for checkout on DVD.The Overgrown Hobbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806927514541692971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-46671107415060389952015-07-13T18:09:54.581-04:002015-07-13T18:09:54.581-04:00the Alice in Wonderland costume reminds me of the ...the Alice in Wonderland costume reminds me of the version made by Living Dead Dolls<br /><br />MaralynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-68201539418586867492015-07-12T06:03:37.999-04:002015-07-12T06:03:37.999-04:00Oh, no white backdrops please!

What I love about con cosplay photos is the random hotel halls and corridors and carpets - they kind of make the whole genre and put the characters into some kind of context: normal people with their self-made costumes, coming together to have fun.Viiriäinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940213742440937761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-59932715897757869322015-07-11T13:46:35.324-04:002015-07-11T13:46:35.324-04:0010 hours well spent.10 hours well spent.KRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-23291907408908480332015-07-11T00:21:49.478-04:002015-07-11T00:21:49.478-04:00Gah!

Those flowers are modular - each petal is folded separately and then they're glued together. The only reason I haven't made any myself is that I don't like modular origami that requires glue. I prefer things that fit together perfectly like a really weird jigsaw puzzle.Katana Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174231454190089539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-43726233981833923082015-07-09T23:25:07.927-04:002015-07-09T23:25:07.927-04:00You can actually buy baby Tick Tock Croc at the Di...You can actually buy baby Tick Tock Croc at the Disney store-- he's from Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy.

It's pretty vague, but I've seen some people online offended, so a trigger warning might be in order. Both it, and the sequel, "Year of the Griffon", are in the teen section at my local library(and on my personal bookshelf).<br /><br />There are two other books where Howl and Sophie turn up. One is "Castle in the Air" (which is not as good as "Howl's Moving Castle", but is at least better written than, say, "Stick Dog"). The other is "The House of Many Ways," which I enjoyed.<br /><br />I love the idea of John as a photo wall.

Right now I'm looking for better wings.<br /><br />As far as John being your very own white photo wall, it was good enough for Shakespeare in A Midsummer's Night Dream (well, maybe the wall wasn't quite for photos, but it could have been) so take it and run with it. I think nJoy has the start of a good idea. Maybe make the front of the costume like a brick wall and the back the white cape idea. Or as an all white frost character front and back.

Her only "adult" book (though in this case the only adult bits are some mild swearing and alcohol) is called "Deep Secret" and one of the main locations in the book is a fantasy convention. Her two "teen" books are called "Hexwood" and "Fire and Hemlock" and they are both amazing as well (Hexwood is my personal favourite). All her young adult books are just as fun as "Howl's Moving Castle", too! <br /><br />Thanks, as always, for the blog! It's always interesting and I learn something from almost every post. ^^ Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466849133562699508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-88314767943692326562015-07-09T09:23:47.650-04:002015-07-09T09:23:47.650-04:00John as a photo background would be AMAZING!
