Geek Girl Con 2014

Hello everyone!  So I went to my first GeekGirlCon over the weekend and had quite the blast so I thought I would give a big ol' shout out :-)

I decided not to cosplay this time around (actually had a meeting at the con and wasn't sure so . . .), but I present you with a Harley Quinn "Bound":

At first I wasn't sure about doing Bounds, but it seemed to be well accepted - I had a few people approach me for a photo!  So heads up to all my cosplayers, wannabe-but-too-nervous-cosplayers, budget cosplayers, or, really, just whoever, Bounds work and are fun!  I even found something to add to my Bound while wandering the Con.  Check these out:

These are nail wraps.  You put them on your nails rounded part pressed flush to your cuticles, trim them and voila you have this:

These beautiful babies are all products of Espionage Cosmetics.  They sell many nail wraps, all themed from Legos, to superhero masks, to just straight colors.  They also sell lip serums and eye shadow, including single colors and collections like the Borderlands 2 Collection and the Gamer Girl Special Edition.  Awesome Fact:  Many of their eye shadows can be mixed with their lip serums to create beautiful lip glosses.  AND the lip serums smell delicious - I was almost tempted to eat some (no, I don't recommend or encourage the eating of lip gloss!).  Check out more of these awesome products here!

Continuing forth, I typically don't go to panels at Con's (I prefer to wander and meet people and talk shop), but I went to a panel!  I sat in on the Cosplaying While Fat panel and was very pleased at the information I received.  Here are some helpful links :


 - Atomic Cosmetics - PLEASE NOTE: The site has a different name than the name of the product(s)! Now during the panel one of the speakers made a point I hadn't thought of: if you want to know how to do amazing make-up look to Drag-Queens!  Think about it, have you ever seen a professional Drag-Queen with bad makeup?  And they usually do it themselves!  I was then directed to Atomic Cosmetics and their foundations.  I think it may be a specific product (I am not sure, but I think it is the Spackle?), but I recall the speaker said you can put it on underneath your regular foundation (or theirs!) giving you a flawless finish and it WOULD NOT come off until you wash it off.  Sorry for my uncertainty - I made the mistake of not bringing a notebook!  Anyways, Atomic Cosmetics is a local company so check them out in person or in the link!

 - We Love Colors - OMGosh!  Tights and leggings and thigh highs!  In a ridiculous amount of colors!  And plus sizes!  I don't know about you all, but I have the thick thighs.  Most tights/leggings products that are supposed to be built for a woman at my weight DO NOT fit me AT ALL.  My thighs are always too big and end up ripping the product or being dug into :-(  This glorious site gives me options for this!  And the best part, they don't charge more for the bigger sizes.  The Cosplay, and just in general Clothing, Gods smile upon this site.  Check it!

 - Bandalettes - Prevents chafing.  Nuf said.

 - Sock Dreams - Glorious socks.  I love knee high socks.  That being said, they typically don't fit me right and cut off my circulation.  This site provides socks in bigger sizes :-)  The prices range, but they don't appear to charge much, if at all, more for larger sizes.  Yay!

Overall, I'd say the panel was very successful, I mean I got a bunch of information to use and share so hooray for these speakers!

-------------------------------------------------------------

So I met awesome people, found useful information, and enjoyed myself.  This equals a successful con in my book!  If you'd like more information on this Con then please check them out here!
