Hello everybody!
Sorry I haven’t written in a while – was prepping for
Emerald City Comic Con and my focus had a lot of . . . well, focus. Now the con is over – sad day! I'd give you a full rundown of everything, but there was a lot so I'll just give you some things that stood out.
First, shout out to an Artist! I may or may not have mentioned that I really enjoy Artist Alley at any Con. It's a chance for everyone to show how creative they can be. That being said, I found a gentleman by the name of Michael Dooney and his pieces are beautiful. Of particular interest is his 1887 series which features heroines and villainess-es(?) in Victorian era clothing. I was especially impressed with Mr. Dooney's attention to detail. Take a look for yourself:

Second, shout out to a vendor! I was wandering through the exhibitors when a
chocolates stand caught my eye. Now, my
first impression was “Meh, whatever . . .” and then I tasted one. OMGOODNESS.
Not only does Truffle Cottage make nerdy themed candies, they actually
taste amazing. I had the Companion Cube,
which I was told was cookies n’ cream. BUT
NO, it wasn’t just cookies n’ cream flavored.
The shell was creamy and the inside was this cookie dough cake mixture
of delicious. I was certainly amazed and
most pleased that it wasn't just chocolate poured into a nerdy mold. Mega thumbs up to this company and I hope to
see them around more often. Check them

And also, OM NOM NOM NOM!
Yes, I chowed down in my Mad Moxxi cosplay because hungry. Here is a better shot :-)
NOTE: I cannot find the name of the photographer that took this photo! If this is you, then please let me know! I will give you all necessary props!
I also have a special treat for you all . . . an Emerald
City Fatale! Today’s Fatale is my
talented friend Doc Misery. He
specializes in making any (and all) costumes his own with a dark flair and a
dash of blood. He is a prop making
genius from small guns and knives to over the top hammers and scythes that
light up and move and make noise. His
cosplay of choice at the moment is a Psycho from the Borderlands series. FUN FACT: he actually thought of, designed, and created a Buzzaxe before Krieg the Pyscho was released. We all thought he was a tad psychic for a second there. You can see him wandering around spouting
madness about acid cleanings and scaring small children and adults. And yes, he did come around a corner and a
bunch of children started crying and screaming – not intentional, but take a
look at this photo and you’ll understand why.
