Your odds of catching me in it are slim, tho, unless you plan to be at the Time Traveler's ball. I'll probably wear it there & maybe one other night for a lobby crawl, but no more. I don't think I'd last more than a few hrs in it, with the crowds & heat!<br /><br />@ Marisa - the color choice was based more on my style preferences, but I think I'll go with your explanation better: I'm on the good side! Ha!<br /><br />@ SM3 - John won't be in costume for Star Wars Celebration, but I think I'll get him to wear his steampunkery for D*C, at least. (Originally we were going to make him a 'punked Emperial Officer's uniform, but time got away from us. Maybe next yr?)<br /><br />@ Cara - No Twitter? Eek - that *does* make it harder. Ok, well, I plan to be in costume on Friday, so look for the glowing green Lady Vadore that afternoon/early evening. Saturday & Sunday I'll probably be in my usual hat & pigtails, so you'll have to be more eagle-eyed. If you do find me, though, I'll have pressies! I'm making up some fun new pins to give away. :DJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-54294528072448680032012-08-13T21:05:46.667-04:002012-08-13T21:05:46.667-04:00AH-MAZING!
