Agnes Crashes Dragon Con's "Bunny Hutch"

Dragon Con starts just a little earlier every year (at least unofficially), and for Thursday there is a "Bunny Hutch" costume contest, where everyone shows up in mashups of their favorite fandom as a Playboy Bunny or Heff. It's pretty hilarious/fabulous:

 ... aaaaand we decided our Junk Lady Agnes had to get in on this action:

 
Hence the bunny ears. 

We didn't actually compete in the contest; just prowled the Marriott lobby, where I'm pretty sure everyone in Atlanta showed up to take her picture. I got to perform/wear Agnes the entire time, and with her improved audio and new, more interactive voice options (which both stunned and delighted a lotta passers-by) I'm pretty sure I had the best view of the Con. I'll remind John to get some video next time she's out - though it took him and two other super-patient friends-turned-security team just to get me around the floor. SO CROWDED. Already! o.0


Now we're off to the official day 1. Stay tuned for more!

  1. Mr. Ngo's Bunny Hutch pics are so great. Those costumes?! So. Good.

    I noticed the bunny ears on your instagram pic and thought, "Were those there before?".

    Let me count the ways I love Agnes with bunny ears. No, there is too much. Let me sum up: lol, <3, perfect!, aaaand lol some more.

  2. I can only imagine Agnes giving John the stink-side-eye thinking: "WTF are you putting on my head now?"

  4. How do you transport Agnes? Does she come apart?

    1. Yes, she breaks down into 3 (very large) pieces: the pile, her body, and the PVC cart underneath. Unfortunately she still won't fit in our car, though, so we had to rent a van just to get her there! O.o

  5. Glad to hear that you and John made it safely to the Con. With the tropical storm and all, I was concerned that there might be travel difficulties for some.

  6. This is fabulous! The only thing that would have made me laugh harder than seeing Agnes in bunny ears would be seeing your worm easter egg in a silk robe a-la Hef. ;)

    2. yeah, I know, but Agnes was RIGHT THERE... I'll assume he was looking away so as not to go blind from the awesome.Or.. Alternately.. it's some peculiar form of dementia wherein one is aware of something nearby worthy of inspection, but is unable to pinpoint exactly WHERE it is..

      Must be it.
